You can kiss your comfy animation job good-bye, kids. Once the execs get a hold of this you'll be out on the street. And you TDs better not get all uppity, either. Even mo-cap can't compete with this.

this is a modern day version of microsoft's 3d movie maker. it pretty cool but i don't think animators have much to worry about. thou it would be very useful for creating animatics
