Posted by Paleface on August 12, 2020 at 17:31:25 EST in reply to I found out via twitter last night that Cool Cool Toon (dreamcast) actually took mocap data from live dancers to make the dances they had in there. I really wouldn't have imagined that to look at it - ultimately with the giant feet, heads and hands, and small joints and hips (I guess that's a joint) it becomes pretty tough to really see what they're doing, and their hands are always intersecting their heads, their feet are too clunky, etc. I'm realizing now that the art style, while neat for the time and good looking in illustrations, really held the game back in terms of showcasing the work they'd done. plus I reckon they spent a fair amount of money on that mocap only to hide it with their proportions. That's your cool cool toon news for today! from exodus.
I guess this is one of the cases where you can tell it's (not great) mo-cap, because the feet are constantly clipping down into the floor and stuff.
