Volatile Games, a division of Blitz Games, has announced that it is using AI-impelled animation tool endorphin 2.5 in its next generation zombie action-thriller, Possession. endorphin 2.5, developed by Oxford-based NaturalMotion, is the newest version of the company's 3D character animation software. The software uses artificial intelligence to create 3D character animation in real time. In addition, version 2.5 allows new transitioning, blending and behaviour features, combined with enhancements to asset repurposing tools and FBX support, allow animators to create interactive 3D character animation faster and easier than traditional keyframe or motion capture techniques. Possession is being developed for the forthcoming next generation consoles, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. In addition to controlling hordes of humans and zombies in single-player games, Possession will also feature an online, multiplayer mode where one player faces up to seven others. endorphin allows 'lifelike' battles between zombies and humans, as next-generation consoles will allow Volatile Games to create more complex sequences, according to the companies.
