Re: Animation mediums, Workflow and Ethics.
To animators, motion capture doesn't look as good as keyframed animation. Motion capture that looks good is passed through an animator who knows what he is doing. But there are even cases where motion capture is completely thrown out and the capture footage is used as reference, but is still called mocap for marketing… -
Re: Animation mediums, Workflow and Ethics.
Expanding on what Hito was kind of saying, reference, mocap, rotoscoping, hand keying, all of the above are techniques and tools used to achieve a result.

Re: Animation mediums, Workflow and Ethics.
As a 2D artist I'm intrigued a lot about community attitudes towards cheating. I have to split everyone with a dog in this fight into two groups - students, and professionals.
