Muvizu – 3D Animation for Everyone
http://www.muvizu.com/

The free Muvizu 3D animation software and this Muvizu website are the ever-evolving creations of Digimania, a company based in Glasgow, Scotland. Until recently, Digimania Ltd. was part of DA Group which, way back in the last century, created the first virtual newsreader, Ananova. Many years later, with an eclectic mix of 3D projects done and dusted (including animated Shakespeare shorts for the BBC and a TV show series with Channel 4), the artists and developers started work on the Muvizu project. Their 100-word spiel for industry shows and brochures describes our work thus: UK-based Digimania develops Muvizu: free 3D animation software, integrated with an online collaborative community, that gives individuals or groups the power of Unreal Engine 3 to create compelling videos in minutes, not months. You don´t need specialist kit or training, just a good idea. Their motto is: “Direct, don’t animate.” This has been added to the toola section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
