Anything World launched this week, with a free version for student and personal use.
. The company also announced that Unreal Engine support is coming in December—it currently offers the Unity integration I saw—and that it has just raised $7.5 million in new funding.
On Tuesday, I spoke to Anything World CEO Gordon Midwood about what gamers can expect from the software in the future. One obvious use for on-the-fly, algorithmic animation is just to put it into the hands of players, allowing them to grab 3D models from a giant library—the company uses sources like Google Sketchfab for free models—plop them into a world, and see them animated in a natural way.
Anything World's software is also being pitched as a professional game development tool. Ubisoft already uses it for prototyping, and Midwood says it's also helpful for quickly rigging 3D models and generating animations that can later be tweaked by hand. The version of Anything World that's just been released can rig and animate vehicles and quadrupeds, but Midwood says the company will soon start adding new categories: humans and other bipeds, swimmers, insects, and so on. Another existing tool that automates rigging for human characters is, and Midwood wants Anything World to compete in that area by the middle of next year.
