Anim works well!

The issue with grabbing mocap from video is that you end up doing a lot of tweaking. And if I hadn't been practicing kung fu for 25 years, this would've been impossible. Know how to center the body as well as the arm/hand positions. #mocap #animation #Cascadeur

VR gaming‚ according to IMARC Group‚ was worth USD 15․5 Billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19․40% during the forecast period (2026-2034) to reach USD 76․5 Billion by 2034... the segment is no longer experimental and is becoming mainstream․ #vr #games vocal.media/futurism/uni...

Recall a meeting at NYU with National Theatre (UK) circa 2016... we told the Brits that a mocap studio would cost $25K. Now you can grab mocap from a video uploaded to Quick Magic AI then plunk it into Cascadeur for about 2% of that cost. It's mind boggling. #animation #ai
