Flex Impact

Dynamic Deformation & Impact Reaction System for Maya

Flex Impact is a custom Maya tool developed to simulate dynamic deformations and realistic impact reactions in real time. Built to address common CFX challenges in production, it provides riggers and animators with an intuitive system for creating secondary motion, collision-driven deformations, and physically convincing impact effects — without the overhead of full simulation solvers.

• Real-time dynamic deformation driven by motion velocity and collision events
• Flexible expression-based parameter system for art-directable results
• Supports soft-body-like secondary motion without simulation overhead
• Integrable into existing rig hierarchies with minimal setup
• Designed for production performance — optimised for large character counts
• Fully keyframeable and compatible with Maya's standard animation pipeline
