Let’s see your animated character!

Regardless of whether you used your own motion capture from the Move1 app or a performance you found online, we want to see how your animated character came together.

As you work on your believable and lifelike character, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Don’t be afraid to have fun with your motion capture. This is an opportunity to really make your character your own.
Consider editing your character’s animation with the layer approach before a data-based approach while you get a better idea of what you want for your final product.
Think about where you want to share your final cinematic, whether that be on social media, in a demo reel or in your portfolio.
The next time you play one of your favorite video games, note down their animations for extra inspiration.
