As many of you must already have, a few months ago I heard about using a Kinect Sensor for Motion Capture to create animations. I bought one and tried using Brekel but the results were not good enough (glitchy, weird) and the workflow wasnt too straightforward either. Now a few days ago while searching (and avoiding the…

Sadly because they ignore logic and the thoughtful debate hasn't gone well over the past 15 years, the industry had to kick it up a few notches and…
