Momentum2


Exocortex Technologies, in collaboration with Helge Mathee , is pleased to announce that Momentum 2.0, the ultimate high speed multiphysics simulator, is now immediately available for Autodesk Softimage 2010, 2011 and 2012. Single user licenses are available for the low price of $199.

Robust Multiphysics Support

Exocortex Momentum 2.0 provides support for the following physical phenomena and their interactions:

  • Rigid Bodies.
  • Soft Bodies.
  • Cloth.
  • Ropes.
  • RBD Constraints
  • Softbody Constraints
  • Interactions.
  • Plasticity.
  • Deforming RBD.
  • Built-In plotting.
  • Collision Filtering.
  • RBD Clustering.
  • Attachments.

Real-Time Results

Exocortex Momentum 2.0 has been designed from the ground up to provide real-time results while maintaining artist flexibility, control and simulation robustness. We did this because we know that artists' time is valuable and no one has the time to wait around for days for a simulation result. In order to achieve these real-time results, Momentum relies upon the industrial strength game multiphysics simulation library Bullet . Bullet has proven itself in the film industry recently by its use in Sony's 2012 , and Dreamworks' Megamind and Shrek: The Final Chapter . The power of Bullet's simulation is now available to Softimage users for the first time with Exocortex Momentum 2.0.

Deep Softimage Integration

Helge Mathee, a widely respected veteran Softimage software developer, has lead the design, development and testing of Exocortex Momentum 2.0. The end result of Helge's commitment to the product has been a deep integration into Softimage with a strong focus on extensibility, usability as well as robustness.

Exocortex Momentum 2.0 is primarily accessed via a friendly toolbar, but it also provides ICE integration. Additionally, all simulations can be plotted for later non-simulation playback.

Production Proven

Momentum was designed and written by Helge Mathee while immersed in an intense and result focused production environment. This means that Momentum isn't an experimental plugin or a proof of concept, is designed to allow artists to achieve results in the absolute minimum amount of time.


Physics Simulation Software Comparison

Exocortex Momentum 2.0 is the most versatile real-time multiphysics solver available for Softimage. In the table below we list the features available with Momentum in comparison to other Softimage simulation products. But we know that even this extensive feature list may not always be enough thus we have designed Momentum to integrate well with both Lagoa liquids and Syflex cloth.

Artist Training

As an artist focused company, we know that the latest and greatest technology is worthless if it is difficult to learn or use. Thus we have, in addition to providing a detailed user manual, developed a series of video tutorials, designed and narrated by Helge Mathee himself, that guide you through various scene setups. The tutorials will ensure that you get started quickly with Exocortex Momentum 2.0 and that you can get your final results quickly.

The full set of tutorial videos is available on this page:
