This link is a couple of threads down but here for convenience. All the muscleman poses were done by animating the character to video of me (rotoscoping). We recorded me making the poses in front of the camera in the parking lot of our studio. I then used the video as an avi in the Poser background. Once I had the video in the background for reference I used a pose to pose animation technique (as opposed to straight ahead animation style) to get all the major poses into place. Then I went back and made adjustments to the in-between motion where necessary. Once the animation looked correct from the front I fixed the animation from the side where it needed it. I didn't have side video to use as reference. If you wanted to get really fancy you could do a two camera shoot, one from the front and one from the side. You can then get two avi files with the same timing and use them as the background one at a time. First animating the front and then switching background to the side avi and animate from the side. _____________________________ Tips: Use a light colored wall and darker clothing (jeans work good for the pants) for the video shoot. Wear pants and a long sleeve shirt for best results. Animate in "Outline" mode. This is the best mode to see the video behind the model. Before shooting the video, get the camera as parallel to the ground as possible. This makes it easier to line up the CG model to the person on the video (otherwise known as talent). Make sure you can see the talent from head to toe. It would suck to have to guess when animating the feet. Use the "CAMERA" to adjust the Poser figures size to match the video at frame 1 before animation starts. Do NOT Scale the figure. Show the ground plane in Poser, switch to wireframe mode and rotate the camera to match the camera angle in the footage. The ground plane should line up with the ground in the video footage. You can adjust the color of the outline preview to make it easier to see. Most people don't know that changing the "foreground color" actually changes the color of the wireframe. You change this by clicking on the first little color swatch at the bottom right of the document window. This brings up the color picker.
