The Next Milestone... Motion Capture (Patreon)

Just want to talk a little about what the stages are for future developments and how Firebox Studio is going to develop in animation technique.

Motion capture is not the so called "Final Solution" to animation woes but to be used as a tool to bridge the gap for development time and quality. 

This picture sums up perfectly the problems with production time and being a one man band (animation wise). 

Due to wanting more quality animations the length of time it takes is more than another animator which does a 2 second basic loop.

Yes he gets out more content but it isn't as engaging (personal opinion).

So what are these suits going to do for Firebox Studio, quite simple really as its all about speed.

Picture a scene, Lara Croft handcuffed to a chair whilst Harley Quinn walks around her talking about what shes going to do to her.

Now before there is any sex scene evolved theirs a ton of things that has to happen first.

The walk animation around Lara to be convincing alone is hours and hours and hours of work, now what if I got my female buddy to shake her hips and walk around me whilst filming her and shes wearing the suit.

All of a sudden I have about 30 mins to and hour cleanup and a pretty damn accurate animation which would be x10 better than anything that could be done by my hand. 

I want to start off with one suit and eventually move to two, this is where the money will be going.

Got loads of potential plans and uses for this suit but I wont tell just yet.

What do you think about the suit, waste of time or good investment?
