Introduction

The Electric Image Animation System (EIAS) is an eminent 3D animation and rendering package available for the Mac and PC. You can texture and animate with ease and render your 3D scenes with amazing speed and quality. EIAS includes the ability to network render to an unlimited number of computers across both platforms at no additional cost. EIAS presents advanced 'buzz-word' features in an easy to use, no-nonsense interface.

EIAS

The latest version of our flagship software includes several unique features, several peerless features and plenty of useful treats to compliment them. EIAS v9 Animator Feature List and EIAS v9 Camera Feature List. We've overhauled the entire EIAS to give you access to industry-leading tools that will not only allow you to create truly stunning images quickly and easily.

Animation

EIAS is extensively used by professional studios all over the globe to create world-class animation for countless productions. It is ideal for all animation: from complex VFX shots to Architectural Fly-throughs.

Key Features

? Virtually every attribute can be animated in EIAS.  

? EIAS can import animation from other applications via the FBX, OBM and BVH formats.  

? EIAS can import motion tracking data from SynthEyes, PFTrack, Boujou and MatchMover.  

? Function Curves provide a precise way to animate objects naturally.  

? Bullet rigid body dynamics.  

? Straight-forward character animation.  

? Inverse kinematics.  

? Animatable deforms including: buldge, twist, bend, runwave, taper, bezier and many more.  

? Morph editor.  

? Full set of constraints including: Auto Bank, Aim, Geometry, Pole Vector, Auto Look and more.  

Ease of use

EIAS is very easy to pick up and use. Everything you need is in plain view, nothing is buried in sub-menus of sub-menus. Windows and palettes are not cluttered, and, the veritable cornucopia of settings that 3D brings are structured into a tabbed interface making everything available in bite-size form. With EIAS, you don't need to deal with never-ending lists of esoteric options,. You also don't have to tackle a ridged all-in-one window and can move any window you want, wherever you want.

? Blisteringly fast "Phong" rendering and raytracer.  

? Intuitive, high-quality motion-blurring abilities.  

? Buffer Shadows, Ray Traced shadows, both soft and razor sharp.  

? Monte-Carlo Global Illumination.  

? Image-based lighting.  

? HDRI and EXR input support throughout the application.  

? Area Lights and Light Objects.  

? Photon Mapping.  

? Fast blurry reflections/refractions.  

? Fast and accurate Caustics.  

? Ray-Traced Volume Transparency.  

? Ray-Traced Shadow Transmission (otherwise known as Subsurface Scattering).  

? Light graphs, providing an easy way to light complex scenes.  

? Render to layered PSD files, compatible with both Photoshop and After Effects.  

? Render to RPF files, compatible with After Effects and Combustion.  

? Unlimited nodes for network rendering making EIAS, one of the best-valued high-end 3D applications.  

? Shaders, EIAS comes packed with dozens of procedural shaders for many effects, from scratches and home-made noise patterns to camouflage and wood.  

Integration

There are 2 options for bringing models into EIAS for animation and rendering.

EIAS imports 3D data in the following file formats:

? 3DS  

? DXF  

? OBJ  

? LWO and LWO2  

The following modelling packages export to .fac - the native EIAS model format.

? FormZ  

? Bonzai3d  

? Silo  

? Archicad  

? Shark  

? ViaCAD  

? Zaxwerks ProAnimator  

Native conversion to/from the EIAS FACT file format, for all main 3D CAD, MCAD, VisSim and AEC programs, is available via Okino's PolyTrans|CAD+DCC conversion system.
