I've suggested for the new  G3 characters, rather than having to key frame all of the custom animations why can't the G1 (Body Puppet) be modified to work with G3 because it seems to be the same angles or possibly be able to record direct movements as in Iclone's (Direct Puppet).

As someone that just bought the Black Friday G1 Powertools set 1-5 because I thought for sure G1 animations would work for G3, I agree.
 Disappointed they won't, and this consideration wasn't take in to consideration. Reallusion should have understood that this would have given older store content increased value and viability.

After looking at the Bonus-G3 Human Basic Motions ,these motions are the  exact same ones in the G1 Body Puppet ,created with or converted to work with the G3 characters.
But I really need a way to freely move body parts while masking others that  require rhythm for simulating the playing a guitar,drums and other instruments.
I thought CTA3 would have this after seeing that it had free bone characters and items,its nice to be able to preview the movements in composer mode but why not a way to record the movements.
CTA3 is a really great  program  and buying the G3 Power Tools -Core Bundles Vol.1 & Vol.2 in my opinion is essential if you plan on doing anything with the G3 characters.
You can tell a lot of hard work was put into all of the motions in the Core Bundles Vol.1 & Vol.2 .

I agree. Are there any plans to add freeform, body puppet ability to G3 characters? If we could record real-time, movement with the mouse as we now can with the facial sprites it would make animating much faster with more realistic movement (at least for me as keyframing takes me forever).
