To help things along we have decided to use motion-capture technology to create our character animations in Knightside Chronicles. I personally am an advocate for hand-keyed animation but I am still very excited to be using motion capture data since I have never worked with it before. Hopefully the recordings will be able to provide good key-positions for the cleanup process and save us some time. Kingston University has a motion capture system by Animazoo and it seemed a shame not to take advantage of it while we are studying here.
Need to learn how to use the data now...
