Create 3D character animations in virtual reality

You can use Mindshow to create 3D character animations by acting them out in real time. Instead of manually keyframing movements, you put on a virtual reality headset and physically perform the gestures and voice lines for each character. You can choose different 3D models, place them in virtual environments, and record body tracking directly onto the digital rigs. The software lets you layer multiple performances, adjust camera angles after recording, and export finished animated scenes for film, games, or social media projects.
