We capture and export BVH data onto the Poser rigs and do most of the clean-up and performance editing in Poser. We utilise OptiTrack’s Arena software, which comes with one of their motion capture packages. They are then imported into Poser for rigging and texturing. All assets are usually built in Maya including characters, props and sets. Poser is used as the primary animation app.

If it’s not in the manual but it still gets the job done, I’m all for it. Working with our producer Kathleen Zuelch, animator Shane Newville and technical director Jeff Yohn, we’ve created a pipeline that focuses the unique features of the Poser application on the unconventional demands of this show.įrom pushing blend shapes past their breaking point to repurposing OBJ sequences in unexpected ways, I try to challenge the team to embrace solutions regardless of whether they are considered technically correct.
With RWBY, we’re attempting to take our intense productivity up to an even higher level. There have been episodes of Red vs Blue that have been completely animated in only a week’s time by myself and only one other animator.
From a production standpoint it’s hard to ignore the volume of work my team and I have been able to create. My work in the last three seasons of Red vs Blue, and all of RWBY, has been animated almost entirely in Poser.Īs a 3D program, Poser might not have some of the superfluous bells and whistles of the more commonly used applications, but I’m a big believer in the idea that a streamlined interface can lead to greater efficiency. Poser has been my primary program for the last 14 years. Many people are often surprised to hear that most of my work is done in Smith Micro's Poser. My work has always required an unconventional form of thinking and an unconventional application. Using Poser gave us the power to animate cool visuals A second set of the same geometry that has been slightly extruded is used to create the black lines of cel-shaded anime 02.
