Re: Animation Generation

Yes, that's correct, at least for the main CG characters in the
foreground where natural movement is crucial. For smaller characters
in the background (e.g. fighting sea creatures in Pirates of the
Caribbean, rats in Ratatouille, etc.) I'm pretty sure it's just pure
modeling (can't do motion capture on 50,000 rats!).

Of course :) Actually, AFAIK, in crowds of characters like in the battles of The Lord Of The Rings, the movements are usually generated by AI algorithms.

The point of my post was the the OP needs to extract the motion from *video*, way much harder than with a motion capture system, especially for a cat!
