Abstract
The paper discusses Virtual Studio software which provides nonprofessional animators with inexpensive and easy-to-use 3D animation systems that have the functionality of complex and costly professional platforms. Virtual Studio is built on Virtuality Builder II, a graphics architecture based on objects and constraints that permits the manipulation and animation of synthetic worlds in three dimensions
