Hi Mayaniac

Thank you for your words of encouragement. Appreciated mate. You read my mind, that's exactly what I'm going to do next. The Town.

Hi murambi

I never used mocap too, this is the first time and having tons of fun playing with it. HIK is really easy to use and speed things up really fast. Looking at some videos, I'm only scratching its surface. I heard that too, the with kinetic you can create your mocap files. That is something pretty cool. I don't have the Kinetic at home, my 2 years old at home, gives me lots of entertainment already haha.

Hi stwert

Thanks appreciated mate

Now remember guys, I'm not trying to create an Avatar here. This short is more of a personal learning path where I want to touch all possible departments, from modeling, sculpting, lighting, animation, rendering, compositing. Learning, researching, investigating while doing it.

Here's an update after repainting the weights and a much better initial pose (T pose).

A much better version in comparison to the very first test I did previously. Still need some fixing / minor weight painting in some parts of the body. As this was just an experiment with HumanIK + Mocap, I think is good enough for now. Moving on to build the set (Cowboy Town), starting some hard surface modeling / Texturing (Houses, Buildings, Lights, Street, Walls, etc). Once the scene is done, I'll work on the cowboy sculpting / texture ................... and finally, back to animation for the shots. Long way to go...

Again, thank you everyone.
Cheers.
