I teased a few weeks back that we'd animated a full short.

Here it is! We asked our stalwart team of two animators (both industry vets from Pixar et al) if they could animate 3 minutes in 2 weeks with our newest model.

They were game! It's cool to see the world move from motion capture to performance capture. Multiple characters, faces, hands, camera tracking are all great ingredients.

Turns out it's super useful for robots too 馃

Anyway, our newest video to motion model - Comic 4 - is finally live and ready to use!
