    We need to get Kinga in a motion capture suit as well.

    I'm not sure if Portalarium have motion capture themselves, but RG's old employee and buddy from Origin, Chris Roberts, built a full motion capture studio down the road in Austin.

    The animations are from "The Sims 3: Pets".

    And I agree. Personally, I consider them to be the best animations in that entire series.

    Agreed. Cats for all, imo. Or dogs.

    The initial 3 pets we've seen are fine, but I want ferrets.

    Edit: And I want to name them Kodo and Podo.

    That movie was one of my top guilty pleasures.

    This is good news! Hopefully we'll see some reworked animations on the Avatars and NPCs.

    She has also been introduced during the latest 'Pen of the Avatar' Broadcast! Check it out and you can 'meet' her at portalarium. ;)

    Think we can get enough steam behind this thread to get AotA (Animation of the Avatar) started? Not to take away steam from Pen of the Avatar but I would love to learn more about how this stuff is done. I've tried it and walked away shaking my head.

    You know, Pen of the Avatar is all about concept art. Moving on to animation would be a natural next step I would think. :)

    They've shown some animation stuff before during their broadcasts; hopefully, we'll see much more of Ms. Soest's fine work. :D

    Welcome Melissa!

    I do not know if you will read this some time, but I quite like the work you have done, as seen in the demo from 2011. I hope Portalarium will be a great experience for you, and hope that you enjoy our community as well.

    Shroud of the Avatar's animations will surely excel should you put your skills into it! :D

    Sherry the mouse hides in the Portalarium offices and tells us secrets from development.
