Panam in the studio

Hateful Things... "Inverse-kinematic solver" is one such. Maybe it can't be written perfectly. There's always some glitch in the movements, deadly contortions, knee or elbow pops.

There have been many iterations in which, to put it nicely, she suffered instant death while walking - lots of "now what" moments. I still see errors, but the solver development stops somewhere around this level.

10-12 gutted goPros, 15,000 lines of code and finally she can be summoned like this in the middle of the studio.


"Inverse-kinematic solver" is a process, that turns captured performance into keyframes for the classic character setup's "animator-friendly" controllers.

In this way, it's possible to use conventional animation-layers to animate on top of this "generated" animation relatively easily, altering it smoothly with the old manual character-animation to get the exact "performance".


This is all about the character's movement here - no facial animation or final render.

I really want Tifa Lockhart

Amazing animation. Would love to see something like that in VR soon.

All character animations can be transferred to other characters in a relatively simple way. The catch is that you have to build each new character beforehand with all possible facial expressions.

Any chance that once the animation is completed, it can ben transfered into a different character as well? Would love to see more of your Nico carried into these animations!

Looks like your persistence is paying off. I see wonderful things on the horizon!

I don't know much about the technical side of all this, but even I can see this is absolutely breakthrough stuff. There's so many new avenues to explore with this kind of technology. Who knows when it will catch on and spread but I'm to be here glad to see the door being opened right here. Super excited to see what comes next.

My inexperienced eyes only see perfection, but it's good that you're so perfectionist about your work. I like it a lot
