  • Abstract
    The Proof Animation 2.0 family of products is the latest achievement in Wolverine´s ongoing commitment to produce innovative animation software. Proof Animation provides our customers with software capable of animating a vast array of applications while remaining easy to use. This product family runs on readily available, inexpensive PC hardware. Proof Animation is ASCII file-driven and features an open architecture, general purpose design, vector-based geometry with the ability to zoom in or out while maintaining crisp clear images, post-processing for maximum performance, built-in drawing tools for ease of creating animations, dynamic bar graphs and plots used to display statistics, a multi-windowing display, and a unique presentation-making capability. Because of its open architecture, Proof Animation can serve as the animation tool for models written in a wide variety of simulation and programming languages. Proof Animation´s user interface is menu-based and easily navigated using either a mouse or keyboard. Its superior performance assures smooth, realistic motion for animations of all sizes and degrees of complexity.
