Shark 3D is an engine developed by Spinor for creating and viewing interactive 3D scenes. It is mainly used for developing video games and things similar to game engines, producing films and TV series,[1][2] as well as creating broadcast graphics[3] and developing 3D applications.

Workflow

Animations are created by playing a scene as in video games within a virtual map.

An animator can record different characters and objects in different tracks to make their scene. For example, the animator can first play as one virtual actor and then play as another, while replaying the first one. A character or vehicle controlled live can physically interact with previously recorded characters and objects using the physics engine.
