Morpheme

Description

morpheme is the industry's first graphically-authorable animation engine for PC and console platforms. In partnership with Marmalade, morpheme is now available for iPhone and other mobile devices. morpheme has been designed from the ground up to give animators unprecedented control over the final look of their animations in-game.

morpheme consists of a run-time animation engine and – uniquely – a powerful 3D authoring application for animators:

morpheme:runtime is a next-generation animation engine featuring advanced (and fully customizable) blend techniques, hierarchical animation state machine, IK support, physics support, and compression algorithms.

morpheme:connect supports morpheme:runtime through a powerful and flexible 3D interface which provides animators with a graphical environment to author and test the game animations' transition logic and blends. In real-time, animators can modify animation parameters (using graphical tools), change transition timings, and see the result instantly in the 3D viewport.

morpheme's integration with Marmalade has been used in the hugely successful iOS game "Backbreaker", which reached number one in the UK App Store, and continues to make the Top 25 around the world.
