What's your point? LOL

Laurie

Since I teach at a martial arts school and am currently attending The Art Institute of Phoenix. I have the ability to check out high quality cameras to take reference photos of the majority of the martial arts weapons at my school.

My character is holding a real Katana in his hands now.

I have spent the last couple of months doing old school motion tracking.

Translation means recording my own movements with 3 cameras: Main, Left, Right

A short 1 minute fight scene 60 sec x 30 fps = 1800 fps or 1 minute

1800 fps x 3 cameras that record 1 minute = 5400 fps to edit alone

I understand why animators tend to hate people who own mocap suits lol.

Back to the main point lol.

Who would like to get ahold of realistic textures?

Here is a fps calculator

It helped me grasp how long my animations would be

Ah...gotcha ;).
