Hello, everyone!
I've started working on something new lately.
It's 3D character control using a webcam.
There was actually a reason I started this. A while back, I went back and rewatched some of my older work.
Looking at them now, there's stuff I honestly can't remember how I made, along with some interesting experiments I tried back then. Watching it again felt surprisingly fresh. While going through all of it, a bunch of "if I did this now, I'd do it differently" thoughts started bubbling up.
So, that's basically why I started building this.
I'm not really trying to just capture movement and make something move. What I'm going for is: "something that moves in a lively, expressive way, even without capture!"
For now, I'm putting my past experience to use and just trying to get something working. From here, I want to keep adding ideas and enjoy the process as I build it out.
If it turns out well, I'd love to make it downloadable, kind of like Shoost. Gonna keep at it!
