"BTW - Anastasia was NOT Disney. It was Don Bluth."<<

Did anybody mention "Anastasia?"

I don't think so.

We were talking about "POCHAHONTAS," which was indeed a DISNEY film.

As for Phil Cookes's ROTOSCOPER, you don't need to do your animation literally frame by frame. You can use Rotoscoper to set up key frames every ten frames or so, depending on the motion. That saves a lot of time.

By the way, here's another COOL TRICK.

Okay now, pay close attention:

There's this program called ENDORPHIN that lets you make all kinds of neat synthesized motions for 3D human figures. The real version of the program saves the motions out as BVH files and such. However, the real version of the program also costs $10,000.00. 

YIKES!

But there's a FREE training version of the program that lets you save your motions as AVI files.

And guess what you can then plug right into ROTOSCOPER?

That's right -- good old AVI files.

So you can use the free version of ENDORPHIN to synthesize motions for use in ROTOSCOPER as a guide for your Poser animations.

See, I just saved you $10,000.00 and I don't even know you.

Here's the link for ENDORPHIN:
