ARIA is your gateway to a new era of character development and face rigging. Say goodbye to cumbersome processes and embrace a future where creation is streamlined, adaptable, and effortless. With ARIA, you'll experience efficient shape network management, modular character adaptation, on-the-fly shape splitting, seamless workflow integration, and future-proof character development. Transform your creative vision into reality with ARIA by your side.

Streamlined Shape Network Creation

Shape network recipes are often hosted on messy web pages with complex instructions and naming standards, making creation challenging and prone to errors. Enter ARIA, your solution for a streamlined, error-free setup. ARIA stores your shape network recipe in a dedicated file, simplifying the process with an intuitive interface. Say goodbye to complexity and errors and hello to a hassle-free approach to shape network creation. Embrace efficiency and precision with ARIA.

Effortless Modularity

Adapting a shape network to a new character can be daunting, often laborious and expensive. But with ARIA's modular design, the process becomes effortless. Apply the same shape network across different characters, even across different topologies, without sweat. Moreover, our seamless API integration lets you generate thousands of characters on the farm without needing constant manual intervention. Say hello to a more efficient, cost-effective character adaptation process with ARIA.

Simplified Shape Splitting

In the facial rigging world, each shape often demands individual attention, and making changes can feel like starting from scratch. But with ARIA, we've streamlined the shape-splitting process for you. Our intelligent algorithms split shapes on the fly exactly when you need them, eliminating the hassle of manual, time-consuming adjustments. Plus, ARIA has your back if you ever need to tweak a primary shape. It automatically recalculates and updates all related shapes, saving valuable time and sparing you the frustration of tedious, repetitive tasks.

Painless Editing and Propagation

Editing primary shapes can be a time-consuming labyrinth of manual adjustments, shape splitting, and tedious propagation across the network. But with ARIA, complexity gives way to simplicity. Any changes you make to a primary shape are handled seamlessly with a simple click on the rig. From splitting shapes to propagating deltas across the network, ARIA takes care of it all, saving you valuable time and sparing you from the frustration of manual labor. Say hello to a smoother, more intuitive editing and propagation experience with ARIA.

Seamless Scalability

Embrace a future where your character networks are ready to conquer any project, regardless of scale or complexity. ARIA's advanced delta propagation and parametric coordinate system streamline transferring shape networks between rigs. ARIA handles the transfer with a few clicks when characters share similar parametric landmarks. Whether working on a small-scale project or tackling a massive production, ARIA scales with you, offering efficiency and flexibility that empowers your creative journey.

Future-Proof Your Creations

In the dynamic landscape of digital content creation, your work should never be confined to a single project. Transferring your network recipe to a new endeavor can be daunting without the right tools. But with ARIA, you unlock the power of future-proofing. You continually refine your network recipe and effortlessly apply it to upcoming projects. ARIA ensures that your creative efforts are preserved and enhanced over time, allowing every new venture to build upon your previous successes.

Optimized Workflow Integration

In conventional pipelines, the journey from concept to a fully realized character often lacks cohesion. Modelers create shapes, riggers deliver the rigs, and animators begin their work, but the process lacks critical context, leading to endless back-and-forths. Enter ARIA, the ultimate integrator. With ARIA, the modelers and riggers seamlessly collaborate. Armed with ARIA, modelers effortlessly generate comprehensive rigs that include joint-driven shapes for nuanced motions, incremental shapes for organic movements, Zips to simulate complex actions, and multiple layers of correctives. The magic happens as ARIA manages these rigs in real time using an intelligent machine-learning solver. Welcome to a future where your workflow is harmonious, efficient, and devoid of unnecessary hurdles.

Revolutionary Character Creation

Creating characters that truly come to life has always been an intricate dance between creativity and technicality until now. With ARIA, character creation becomes a symphony of innovation. Are you starting from an existing neutral mesh? Just click "Build" and watch the magic unfold. ARIA generates new shapes, exports them as needed, splits them seamlessly, and crafts a new rig ready for immediate testing. ARIA's advanced algorithms and parametric shapes adapt effortlessly even in complex scenarios, like characters with varying proportions or geometry. Experience the future of character creation and redefine the boundaries of possibility.
