Looking for SIMFONIA animation tool (SAT)

Obroni1973

Hi. What happened to the SIMFONIA animation tool (SAT)...? - I saw this tool here some years ago but unfortunately I didnt download / purchase it in those days...

SIMFONIA seems no longer to exist...

Any idea what happened to the SIMFONIA animation tool (SAT) - is it still available somewhere? What happened to the company who published it...?

PLEASE, I urgently need it, I would be ready to pay a reasonable prize, no problem...

Any idea....???

Emails to obroni at gmx . net are welcome.............

Firstly, a single topic is all you need. I removed the other topics with the same content.

Secondly, Simfonia was incredibly expensive at the time to buy. I can only guess their pricing meant they could not acquire/sustain customers to keep the project alive.

As to where it is now I have no idea.

Blender's Rigging/Animation tools are free and online tutorials are abundant for the topic.

An easier method is Cascadeur which has a very good Free option

Cascadeur - the easiest way to animate AI-assisted keyframe animation software

Cascadeur is a standalone software for 3D keyframe animation of humanoids or other characters. Never before making animation from scratch or editing one has been so easy and fun. Thanks to its AI-assisted tools, you can make key poses really fast, instantly see the physical results and adjust secondary motion. All while retaining full control at any point.

Cascadeur looks really nice, didn't know it's free.
I've always used Adobe Mixamo or ActorCore Accurig for similar tasks.

I believe this French Simfonia SAT was not always existing!

http://www.simfonia.fr/SAT/ seems not more accessible!

Yeah, it's a clever approach to rigging. I hope Epic acquires it at some point. Epic's acquisitions always results in cheaper pricing and feature rich Free versions.
