This might include a deep index of gestures, and a deep index of functional hand and physical actions (ie. reach and grab, push/pull, kneel, crawl, normal jump or hop, light lift/heavy lift, etc.). In terms of the face I would find it valuable if there were a set of expressions that could be struck at any moment, and vary according to intensity and duration. Thanks for listening.

ps. I know that you have to update the engine next, and the next great thing would be to have the ability to pick up and set down props, but until then it would be cool to have a few other basic pre-set prop animations similar to Instrument handling. (ie. coffee cup holding, gun waving, comb brushing).

Eyebrow control, more eye control(ability to close eyes) smoother head control, and change the mouth into the current anger, happy, scared, etc.. on our own.]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2010 21:11:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic797-puppeteering-or-manual-animation.aspx Message from Dreeko Emily wrote:

That's a scarily accurate description of our todo list. ]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2010 15:22:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic797-puppeteering-or-manual-animation.aspx Message from Dreeko toonarama wrote:
Hello there

Fantastic as the "stock" animations are is there any chance future releases of Muvizu will allow characters to be able to perform actions manually using either "puppeteering" OR a combination of key frames and the ability to adjust body parts?

Thanks

Mick

Yip this has been mentioned before
Some kind of grab the hand and wave it about method in a style similar to Kermit the frog would be a pretty useful animation feature in addition to the methods that already exist
We already have a kind of puppetry mode with the head animation option so the natural evolution is to broaden this to other limbs aswell

I'm sure the devs have it on that andrex toilet roll of a list they are working from!

Cheers

It's not something that's currently planned, but I know that the Devs would love to give you guys more control of the characters (if they can keep the system simple )

Take care,
