- Hey all...
-
- Just got the Softimage demo tape in the mail, and man was I
- impressed. That's one piece of software that I would kill for.
-
- Two of the features in softimage which I really found neat were the
- Keyboard and Mouse Motion capture, as well as the deformation fields.
-
- I'm just wondering, how hard would it be to write a plugin to allow
- MoCap from the keyboard and mouse.
- I haven't really looked at the Plugin Developer's Kit so I'm not
- sure what the limits of the plugin architecture are, but it doesn't seem
- like it would be that hard to be able to assign keyboard keys to different
- actions, and then animate your character in real time by hitting keys. I
- loved how the guy in the video could animate the bee running by alternately
- hitting two keys.
-
- And the ability to set up free standing deformation lattices ( a la
- trueSpace) would also be a great feature.
-
- Just some suggestions,
- Jonathon Bowman
