I found an interesting article about how Dreamwork's new software works Here

Emo sounds and looks nasty. Using numerical spreadsheets to translate a characters rig in x y z sounds god awful. I'm just happy we got to see Apollo used in HTTYD2. I know Emo stood for emotion. So then whats Premo? Pre-Emotion? Also, the name of the lighting software that is part of the Apollo tool suite is called Torch I believe.

Also for those of you guys here that dabble in animation...the whole real time thing of Premo distinctly reminds me of Blender's rendered viewport shading.

Moved to the HTTYD2 section.

It could stand for 'Prime Emotions'.

Yeah, from what I've seen and heard so far is PREMO one of the most powerfull softwares for computeranimation. I wish they would make a demo video or one of the animators could show how it works and how to use it. *cough*

And I think the LibeEE based real time computing engine is a little different to Blenders 'real time' Cycle Render.

I'm all over this haha

Thank you so much for posting this!

This is a pretty good watch too.
