NaturalMotion has announced a partnership with Emergent Game Technologies that will adjoin key development tools from both companies.

Gamebryo – Emergent’s popular cross-platform development engine, used in many games such as Fallout 3 and Civilization 4 – will now give its users access to NaturalMotion’s Morpheme animation tool.

“NaturalMotion's Morpheme:Connect gives our developers the ability to more easily create realistic character animations. NaturalMotion is a proven leader in the industry and we are excited to see what our developers create through this technology partnership,” says John Austin, Emergent's VP of Partner Programs.

“NaturalMotion's goal with morpheme is to provide developers with the most comprehensive, intuitive and cost-effective animation middleware possible,” added Christian Staack, NaturalMotion's VP of Sales for North America. “Gamebryo offers developers benefits that are very much in line with that goal, and the engine's widespread adoption among developers of all platforms makes it important for morpheme and Gamebryo to work seamlessly together.”

“Thanks to the flexibility of both products, we've been able to smoothly integrate the technologies.”
