“Our objective is to change the attitude of animation by educating a wide array of users about Craft Director Tools and their ability to offer a simple, fast and effective solution for professional-quality 3D animation,” said Craft Animations Founder and Head of Research, Luigi Tramontana. “There is no better way to achieve this goal than to expand the Craft audience, and we see TurboSquid’s renowned marketplace and active community as the perfect venue to help us do so.”
