The online shop hidden behind the interface is called Mixamo and houses high-quality animation data from companies such as Original Force, Radiance, and Winking. Without leaving the Autodesk programs, users can connect to the 3D animation database there and load all available animation datasets and characters into the program. Even a preview of the data in 3D Studio Max 2013 and 3D Studio Max Design is possible without making a purchase. The special feature of this form of dataset purchase is that the data can be applied directly to the Biped or CAT control rigs for further editing.
