General cost of character retargeting + cleanup vs keyframe animation
So I've been considering buying a rokoko suit for animating sequences of exercises for an app I’m building. The animations are short and some of them loop so I suppose animations are typically 2-5 seconds long. Simple exercise animations... Think doing jumping jacks or something like that. Since i'm not a 3d… -

There is a… -

Thank you guys for the comments. I think I've gotten enough answers now to know that doing the animations using keyframe method would be most cost efficient for me at this time especially factoring in buying the suit and all. -
