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…

Having been a bit of both in my career, I'd say one thing that helps me manage others better is to constantly keep my mind on the big picture, not to let my natural artist tendency get into noodling away on the smaller details.

You're only as strong as your weakest piece is something commonly said here. Art that looks like it took a day to make also shouldn't be in your…
