with what programm did you made it??

[MarburyIntermedia]

@vampsandlove Blender 3D which is an open-source animation program and "Makehuman" to create the basic mesh for the Girl in the video. Both program are free. There is a lot of online help & tutorials for both programs. I Can send you some links if you are interested.

i see that you are still into it^^

nice moves, any progress in good old mocap stitching problem?

[MarburyIntermedia]

@boogie0815 Funny you should mention that. I started playing around with that last weekend. Still no result worth talking about yet. I'm still using your tutorial.

@MarburyIntermedia I'm interesting, can you please send me the links..

[Gryphon1973]

Cool. I'm a Blender head too. How complicated and expensive is it to set up a motion capture and import it into a mesh for animation like that? Does it require a bunch of hardware. I suppose you would need a green screen for starters, right? I'm very interested in learning how to do that.

[vampsandlove]

How high where you when you made this?

[ageshero]

This is freaking weird.

[DarksiderDarmoset]

Very nice! How did you activate motion capture?

[Meashayshay2]

The animation/motion is really good. :)

The character design is interesting as well. Is the character your own design?
