@SharonC I decided to outsource some of the more specialized stuff to the North American Dancing Poodles consortium.  Really much easier than trying to motivate the hounds off their beds for non running or eating activities.  Theyre particular about the human productions asked of them.

good catch on that! 🤣

LOVED IT! 🤗 

WORTH WAITING FOR! 

...you beat me to it.  Kevin gets that look on his face, but he doesn't dance. 🤭 

Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it! 

Really appreciate that you've talked about the Unreal Engine software, too.  Have you used the 'Rokoko Vision' before?

Hey, I'm still in the Halloween mood... just got derailed.  No Xmas music allowed in the house until after Thanksgiving. 😈

Just the one time for the goblin "dance?" 🤣

that was even more ridiculous to watch.  Rokoko helps to automate the animation.  Gives you a way to customize animations.   but theres still alot to it if never done before.  Once you upload a video to their servers it creates a skeletal mesh thing you can then import into a site called mixamo.  from there you can attach to different characters and download.  import into unreal and setup some mappings to ikrigs there.

its a process.  

learned a new tune too so theres that i guess 🙂

Great tune and playing Greg, never heard that one before did you write it?.

Vid was bob on as well, for animations I used to use poser, I would build the creatures in mud box and max , for which you can import motion capture files to make your creatures do whatever you want, it was great fun but a long time ago, and people wanted work which would take a week for nothing, so I gave it up. I took a look at unreal engine it looks good, won't run on my windows 7 unfortunately though, and can't stretch to a new computer;( maybe when I win the lottery lol

Thank you @stringy.  I think with your background youd get a kick out of messing with it.  Kinda neat.  Im not aiming for any revenue from it Good thing huh!!? 😂  just make goobey videos from time to time.

Its the 2nd tune of this set stringy.  where i heard it.  was looking for a horror-ish sounding title i havent played before.

@Mark thanks for watching!..  Dont be jealous. 😉  All i did was act like I was reaching for a donut and then flailed the arms around a bit as if a wasp flew up for a visit.  Im sure itll catch on.  

 

Here it is without all the jazz and just a cell phone video...

@ABitRusty -

Always loved the name 'Pull The Knife' - definitely gruesome, there's great aliases & interesting info at thesession.org.  Been on my list ever since you convinced me to try the 'Boys of Pleasure'!

When I found out how long it took to create animation, back in the late 80's/early 90's - didn't have the time, or the money for a good enough PC, to invest.  Figured if I waited long enough, technology would catch up.  ...now, I wish 'I' could catch up!  

 

Hey, seems like a good theme you got going - where's YOUR <a style="color: #0000ff" href="

 

one thing extra thats annoying is the lighting of the import.   you can adjust it so it doeant show up so bright. 

Oh and yes i used the magic mask in davinci to key myself out.   i filmed against a green screen but honestly i dont think i needed to.  magic mask did great with the exception of the tip of my bow.
