Ola my friends,

Playing with some new 3d scenes in the Studio.. I felt a necessity from realtime feedback in my EIAS cameras simulating Hand Cameras..
After some Brainstorm with Igors.. I received this amazing gift which open a big door to all users here trying to do complex animations (erratic animations) which are complex to do using f-curves in any software.

This new FREEBIE plug-in records in realtime your mouse motion (path and acceleration) in any viewport which can be applied in your groups.. you can re-do it until you are happy.

Sample Prjs:
1) a Hand Camera test (I apply my tracked motions in effectors and my Camera and reference is parented to both effectors, you can animate first in top view, then in a second session animate in the side view.. reallly nice)

2) a rigged Character prj (I apply my tracked motions in effectors, I play my sound track in the EIAS sound track window and follow with my mouse to move 2 nulls which represent my Hip and Hands)

Character animations was never so easy.

Enjoy it.

Thanks David Stoddard (plug-in Name and Read me)

BTW: Im waiting all users to show nice animations..

Thank you very much

Tomas Egger
