During block B in year 3 at BUAS I made an animation combining a motion capture character and a hand keyed cat, working with both motion capture and hand key animation was a fun new experience that showcased both the strengths and downside of each style, this was also my first time animating a cat which was a steep learning curve but i'm happy with my end result!
Final render
The raw motion capture data that i shot for this project applied to my chosen rig
Added in a setting, the cat and the camera
Keyframed in a starting and ending pose for the character since my motion capture data was to short
Animation in the polishing stage, I foccused on adding more life to both the cat and character
