 Date: Wed Sep 24 2003
September 24 2003 - Kaydara Inc. today announced that NXN alienbrain asset management functionality is now directly available within MOTIONBUILDER 5 Professional Edition, the latest version of Kaydara's powerful real-time 3D character animation software. The integrated support of NXN alienbrain allows MOTIONBUILDER 5 users to operate in a secure, version-controlled environment without having to leave their application.

"By offering support for NXN alienbrain Studio directly in MOTIONBUILDER 5, Kaydara provides animators with an intuitive tool set that minimizes the administrative overhead necessary for professional file management," said Jochen Pielage, vice president of development for NXN Software. "The tight integration with NXN's asset management system will help MOTIONBUILDER 5 users deliver high-quality projects on time and within budget."

MOTIONBUILDER 5's direct support for NXN's asset management systems provides Windows-based MOTIONBUILDER 5 customers who have NXN alienbrain Studio installed with seamless access to version-control functionality. With an integrated NXN alienbrain menu at their fingertips, MOTIONBUILDER 5 users can easily access their project data on NXN alienbrain servers and revert to any earlier version if required.

"NXN's alienbrain Studio is a proven and powerful asset management system," said Jean-Jacques Hermans, vice president of marketing and business development for Kaydara. "As competition increases and production budgets grow tighter, facilities need a highly efficient and low risk production pipeline. MOTIONBUILDER 5 combined with NXN alienbrain creates a streamlined production environment ideal for developing games, feature films and TV productions."

MOTIONBUILDER 5 boasts a unique real-time photorealistic rendering engine and Kaydara's "smart" character technology (HumanIK), which allows complex character set-ups and animation to be created in minutes instead of the days and weeks required by other systems. MOTIONBUILDER 5's advanced technology makes sophisticated, highly realistic animation attainable without the large teams and budgets traditionally associated with high-end projects such as blockbuster feature films.

NXN alienbrain Studio is the leading asset management system for creative teams. It versions, tracks and stores all files throughout a project, freeing up the time needed to deliver the highest quality results. Unlike traditional asset management systems that focus primarily on archiving completed assets, NXN alienbrain Studio manages all project files from concept to completion.
