Hello, A few years ago I was doing some work for animation, and accidentally stumbled upon a program that was really cool/usefull. Basically, you defined a few things (people, objects) and what they were supposed to do (punch that other guy with your arm/shoot him) and it would generate some really good animations. One of the examples that it came with (which really impressed me) was 2 people being chased by this big monster (gorrila type thing). It grabbed them both and killed them with a very realistic animation, I was able to remake that in about half an hour. Fast forward a few years, and now I can't find it. I'm think it's name was Natural Selection, but google didn't help (and the forum sticky didn't seem to have it). I only ever got a trial version. Does anyone know of the software I'm talking about?

Natural Selection is a sci-fi game ;)

Maybe Character Studio?

No, that wasn't it... (Natural Selection is just what I keep thinking of, probably had something to do with the fact that they used some sort of genetic algorithm for their animatinos)

Maybe one of Natural Motion's products?

YES
ENDORPHINE

Thanks a bunch, I'm downloading the LE version right now...

I love Endorphin, really helpful. The only downside is that you need a very expensive license to use it both commercially and noncommercial. Which means you can't export your animations, only export as a video.
