“Hit any custom shape or silhouette in your simulation with Ziva VFX 1.7 Art Directable Rest Shapes, complete with rich, physics-adhering secondary dynamics.”
The update brings the new Art Directable Rest Shapes system which has been in development for over a year. The new system allows modifying an existing tissue simulation by duplicating the tissue mesh, sculpting the duplicate into a new shape, transferring the changes back to the simulation.
That system is said to make simulations much more art-directable by tweaking a character’s silhouette in key poses right up to creating exaggerated cartoon-style animation.
What is more, the zRBFWarp radial basis function deformer from Ziva VFX 1.6 now works with NURBS curves and surfaces as well as meshes.
