Hash Animation:Master (A:M) is a fully featured, intuitive, fun to learn and use 3D animation software package. It has been created to make 3D animation affordable and easy enough for everyone – no matter if you are an animation expert at home or new to animation in general.
What can I do with it? Home Page - https://www.hash.com
- A:M is a complete, full-featured 3D animation software package. You can create literally anything – illustration stills of objects, animation shorts, product designs, architectual visualizations, special effects and even feature-length films.
- No matter if you want to create an animation movie, a music video for your band, create 3d printable objects and export them to STL format for your 3d printer or just tell a short story: A:M can do it!
- And all that for a fraction of money most other 3D programs will cost you.
The Modeling Window
This is the area in which you'll be creating your geometry, rigging your model, and applying textures. You can see all the groups, decals, materials and more in the Project Workspace (PWS) on the left.
The Action Window
Here, you'll create reusable animation called actions – which are often of a repeating nature, like walk cycles. Actions are minianimations which can be combined to create the final animation.
The Choreography Window
This area is used to do the camera work, light the scene, create dynamic simualtions and animate non-repeatable animations using all the different assets created before.
