Ziva Dynamics Muscle Systems Tutorial

Ziva Dynamics Muscle System

We've added a new series of tutorials to our expanding Vimeo Channel - Ziva Dynamics Muscle Systems Tutorial with Michael Davies.

Ziva Dynamics is a simulation tool, designed to create muscle systems for VFX animal and creature animation.

Ziva VFX Academic licences are now free for students enrolled at qualified educational institutions - including Escape Studios.

Ziva Dynamics

Muscle systems allow animators to create animal and creature animation with high levels of realism and believability, closely simulating the actual muscle systems present in living animals and creatures.

Realism and Believability
Our students are increasingly designing, modelling and rigging their own characters and creatures, creating unique content for short film projects.

Ziva Dynamics offers our students the chance to take their creature animation to the next level of realism and believability.
