Add a whole new level of realism to your scenes with a revolutionary traffic simulation system and smart animated vehicles. With Envision 1.1, animation becomes even more intuitive with tools for effortless traffic simulation and proximity-triggered effects.
Plus, discover more updates, including advanced scene management that enables greater workflow customization and maximizes efficiency and batch rendering capabilities.
What are the benefits of animated vehicles in a rendering scene?
The more realistic your rendering scene is, the easier it is for clients to engage with it. Animated vehicles improve spatial understanding, and motion helps convey scale and purpose. Not only will they make your renderings feel lived in, but they also offer a glimpse into how the space interacts with everyday activities, as vehicles are part of daily life.
Adding animated vehicles into your renderings will demonstrate to your clients the traffic flow, parking areas, and functionality of the space. They enable you to convey authentic context with realistic movement, making your space more engaging and enhancing your visual narrative.
Vehicles from Anima's collection
Smarter and more realistic vehicle behavior in your renders
Simulate busy streets and projects fit for urban environments with Envision’s Anima integration. Instantly generate realistic vehicle traffic that flows, interacts with pedestrians, and responds to terrain geometry. The key highlights of the new traffic simulation system are:
- Vehicles that follow real-world traffic rules, navigate intersections, and interact naturally with pedestrians.
- Lifelike motion with spinning wheels, chassis roll, and terrain adaptation.
- Automatic collision handling for smooth and realistic interactions.
- Color editing options for greater customization.
Built-in traffic-defining tools
Easily populate urban scenes with hundreds of animated vehicles without requiring expertise in animation or rigid body physics. Create and simulate vehicle routes that follow international traffic rules.
Animation flow controls
Anima automatically manages intersections so your traffic flows smoothly and avoids collisions.
Customization possibilities
Save time with automatic vehicle material generation and enjoy customization possibilities with extensive color editing options.
More Envision 1.1 updates
Proximity sensors
Add interactive space exploration with proximity-activated object animations. These trigger when a specific component gets near key items such as doors, windows, or elevators, giving you dynamic, responsive environments with minimal effort.
Rendering queues
Automate batch rendering of images and animations across selected camera views. Integrated with the AI Enhancer and Cloud Collaboration, this workflow saves you from repetitive clicks, reduces manual effort, and ensures consistent, high-quality output.
Navigation presets (coming soon)
You'll soon be able to easily switch between navigation styles based on your preferred 3D software. Spend less time orienting and more time creating with scene navigation, object interaction, and making adjustments that feel fast and familiar. Enscape and 3ds Max are currently supported, with more coming soon.
