Lamb -- everyone has things he or she can do well, or like to do (usually -- not always, but usually -- if you are good at doing something it's something you like to do). I'm pretty lousy at animation, almost any kind of animation. Not really my wheelhouse (far better at lighting, direction, sound and writing, although not in that order :>  . So anything which speeds up the process and/or makes it more "fun" is something very, very important to me. I will say as an actor that getting "oversized" or cartoon motions isn't hard at all -- that's "acting" and that happens to be something I *am* good at (and, therefore, enjoy doing). Again, everyone is different and YMMV but really SHOULD vary <g>. ah okay fun I can see  Truth be told though i have rarely used canned motions for anything there are a few things i could use them on but its usually more to test the character i just made rather then a movie or whatever. Canned stuff is pretty limited in its use and so either have to find a mocap solution or if your wierd like me (yes i admit i find strange things enjoyable) you keyframe your brains out.

I admire your ability to keyframe, Lamb, I truly do. I used to be better at it in other programs. iClone for some reason I just still don't "get" the way I do Max, for example. I think I should be setting a hold keyframe and then, somehow, either it isn't or it doesn't hold the parts I want or... whatever. Every now and then I get it right (and then it seems like a bit of a miracle). Now, honestly, I just haven't spent the time I really should at learning it. Keep getting distracted by other things (like cool visuals or $$$ toys like facial mocap and such). I will continue to apply myself at it, but at this late stage in life I'm pretty resigned to thinking it's just one of those things I'll never master. That's the nice thing -- we are all individuals and all can choose our own paths. I'm hoping the PN won't be a path I regret but I almost never regret the things I do (just the things I've never done).

I'm sorry I missed this conversation.... I have the PN suit 1.0 for a year and a half and I am also experiencing jitter, drifting and popping fingers.
Though I have gotten some really, really amazing captures from it. As well, I posted last year a very short YouTube tutorial about using Curve Editor to fix popping fingers.

Do you have the magnetic case? I was told that would help and it seems to do a good job, as I haven't had any problems (however I've only had it for about four months now, so perhaps as time goes by it will be more of an issue).
