Hey Tim, I was simply stating the difference between expectations and final product when it comes to autodesk. For example, taking a look at the kinekt - pinnochio integration, the guy is really excited about it, but looking at the output, i couldn't use that animation in any kind of production, not even a low budget one. Why wouldn't they take an already decent tech like facerobot, and work off of that?
