too that you could animate on top of motion capture data and you
were not
just constricted to it. They also demo'd how much
level you had with the
flexibility of the rig. I spoke with
David Andrews who is currently
animating with it, and he said that it was
great to actually be able to (as
an artist) to tweak things at the most
subtle detail on the spot.

The videos are good, but honestly, I've
seem more realistic looking facial
animations from some very skilled
animators. Of course, I'm not certain how
long it took them in
comparison with how long it would have taken them with
Face Robot. SI
better get some sample money saving calculations if they want
studios to
pay 100K for a piece of software :-). But then again innovation
is
expensive. I must admit though that I was hoping to see something
more
realistic than the plastic looking face (the secretary animation -
making
of).
