Vehicles now come with drivers and passengers by default, with easy controls to adjust both the number and variety of the crew. Realistic braking and blinking lights, along with enhanced vehicle motion, create natural traffic flow, while motion baking ensures your scenes stay consistent as you add new elements.
Populate your scenes with context-aware characters utilizing the new tag options or by drawing 4D paths. Advanced filters ensure smoother and more natural motion, while the density of actors in your scene could be quickly adjusted via the numpad (+/-)
Bring a fresh look to your scenes with over 120 new models, including versatile 4D characters and popular urban vehicles. Anima automatically creates variations of your preferred models to keep your visuals authentic and ensures you always have plenty of options at your fingertips.
Streamline your 3ds Max workflow with faster scene loading and generation, plus reduced memory consumption. Spend less time waiting, iterate more often, and keep your focus where it belongs: the creative decisions that move your project forward.
Anima now integrates cleanly with 3ds Max’s centralized script pipeline. This release aligns scripts with the 2025+ pipeline and supports no-GUI, automated installs. Setup is faster and consistent across seats, fewer surprises, smoother imports, and less IT overhead, so artists spend time creating.
Enhance the realism of your scenes with the most impressive walking characters you’ve ever seen, featuring complex clothing dynamics that wrinkle and adapt as they walk, and give your renders that cinematic touch with the physically accurate motion blur effect.
Organize animated people into coordinated crowds, where movement direction can be defined and obstacles are avoided automatically - navigate slopes, ride escalators, tackle moving walkways and climb stairs realistically.
Benefit from pre-built materials available for industry leading rendering engines like V-Ray, Corona, Vantage, Redshift, Octane, FStormRender and Unreal.
No need for expertise in rigid body physics - the in-built tools instantly enable you to create and simulate vehicle routes that adhere to international traffic rules, delivering visually accurate and appealing results.
Effortlessly handle collisions and vehicle dynamics with exceptional realism - the system automatically manages intersections, ensuring seamless traffic flow and capturing everything from suspension movements and accelerations to body dynamics.
All vehicle materials are automatically generated and ready to use in your renders for stunning realism. Plus, it offers precise color editing options, giving you full control over every detail when needed.
Over 4,000 stunning models that will surprise you with breathtaking animations and facial expressions - available in a wide range of ethnicities, outfits, activity, season, places and gender - all ready to start moving and socializing in your architectural scenes.
When used in crowd animations, Anima expands the people asset variety to tens of thousands of models by automatically randomizing the color of the outfit each 3D model is wearing.
A growing collection of high-quality vehicle models, recognized for its realistic behavior, including wheel spin, chassis roll, braking, and cornering, as well as dynamic responses to terrain features like slopes and bumps.
Define walking surfaces, obstacles and collision geometries for your simulation directly in 3ds Max, or Cinema 4D and send them to Chaos Anima within a click while working and refining your visualization project animations.
Populate your visualization projects with hundreds of realistic 3D humans by simply drag and drop characters directly into your scene in 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine. They instantly respond to the topography specifics and start moving naturally
With robust live linking and real-time preview, Chaos Anima seamlessly synchronizes projects, geometries, and cameras with 3ds Max and Cinema 4D, giving you precise control over your 3D human, crowd, and vehicle simulations.
The advanced AI-powered crowd and traffic engines bring your scenes to life with realistic movement. Trained on thousands of motion-captured animations, they generate dynamic crowds and traffic systems that interact just like in real life.
Achieve top-quality rendering with the pre-built materials available for the most advanced rendering engines on the market, such as V-Ray, Corona, Octane, Redshift, Arnold and many other industry standards.
Effortlessly import complex crowd animations into your favorite 3D modeling and rendering software with our built-in plugins, designed for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine.
