Massive Prime

What do you like best?

Massive has a simple interface and stands out its simplicity of use, because it is based on nodes, which makes it very easy to get the desired results in a few steps. Complex animations of many "agents" or characters can be made using behavior modifiers as needed for each project.

What do you dislike?

I find it a bit complicated to create a new Agent, a name given to Massive Software to the characters, but maybe it's because human modeling is not my specialty. Also the cost is a bit high for a studio or animation company that is starting. If the budget allows, I would not hesitate to use it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Any animation company that needs to generate high-quality crowd simulations, who want them to have a photorealistic look, should first consider using this great program. The learning curve is relatively fast and the results are excellent. I have seen that newer versions have integration with other 3D programs like Maya, which makes it more versatile and efficient in any project pipeline.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Actually I have not yet used it in projects for final clients, I am still knowing the application, I hope soon to be able to use it in a commercial project and to take advantage of all the power it has. It has allowed me to better understand the handling of multiple animated characters without having to devote too much time to the process of animating each element of the scene.
