StudioNEST Brigks is a collection of kinematic solvers for Autodesk Softimage.
With StudioNEST Brigks you can build very efficient rigs that don’t require to setup overly complex object hierarchies. Since the source code of the kinematics solvers is provided, implementations of matching kinematic solvers can be achieved for other packages as well as standalone applications.

Blender is an integrated application that enables the creation of a broad range of 2D and 3D content. Blender provides a broad spectrum of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and video post-processing functionality in one package. Through its open architecture, Blender provides cross-platform interoperability, extensibility, a small footprint, and a tightly integrated workflow.
Aimed world-wide at media professionals and artists, Blender can be used to create 3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast and cinema quality videos, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback.
Originally developed by the company ‘Not a Number’ (NaN), Blender now is continued as ‘Free Software’, with the source code available under the GNU GPL license. It now continues development by the Blender Foundation in the Netherlands.
