I saw that, actually. I’ve been checking out everything from everyone who is making warping and distance matching stuff. Haha. But, yeah, the Kubold animations didn’t look good. In fact, they looked just as crappy with your setup as with mine, which doesn’t give me much hope with regard to the anims. I thought I was just doing something stupid in my own setup (which is still possible), but to see the same look in yours leads me to believe much of the ugliness is from the anims themselves.
Wow! Those MoCap Online animations look great! Dang… I wish I had purchased those instead. Though the small packs are tempting, I’d prefer to save up and purchase the big Mobility Pro pack for $100. I noticed turn-in-place in eight directions. I think there are also start/stop anims in eight directions, if I’m not mistaken. The Ninja Pro pack looks impressive and useful too.
I also considered adding curves manually to ALSv4 animations, since those animations are freakin’ great too, but I came to the same conclusion as you: the consumption of time may not be worth the effort. It’s possible I’ll change my mind, but ALSv4 doesn’t have stop/start anims, which are anims I need.
