This section covers features about the many techniques and tools used for nonlinear animation in Autodesk® Softimage®. Nonlinear animation is a way of animating that does not restrict you to a fixed time frame. You can store different types of animation, shapes, images, and caches into packages called sources, then load this package in the animation mixer.
