Rob Robfogel, CGI-Visual Effects Supervisor, Transcontinuity Studios-LA, Burbank, Ca. Business: Creates 3D animations for advertising, marketing, and pre-viz work for motion pictures . Brief: Rob Robfogel knows that 3D character animation without life-like movement doesn't go far. As a visual effects supervisor to the motion picture industry, Robfogel's job is to stretch the boundaries of character animation and ensure every movement imparts "life." "Life Forms allows me to take a character, be it a bug or a human, have a starting place from where to design, and tweek that characters walk," says Robfogel. "It's where the 'life' gets put into the character." Using Life Forms to rough out character movement from concept to final motion, Robfogel really appreciates the ease of use Life Forms provides. "It saves huge amounts of time for me!"

"If there's a tool that can make walk generation faster [than Life Forms], I haven't found it!"
