IMA seeks help on project
converting thousands of
public domain motion capture animations
for use in OpenSim.
In virtual worlds, you dance with an animation. IMA has thousands of public domain motion capture animations that could benefit OpenSim if they were converted to SL internal animation format. IMA needs an experienced animator to develop a conversion procedure.
