Creating Basic Overlays

I've implemented a tool for creating basic overlays. You can load any two motions (AMC files) and the upper body limbs of the second motion will be transplanted to the lower body limbs of the first motion. The root of the body from the second motion is first aligned with the body from the first motion (in position and orientation) before the transplanting. These are just basic transplants for now so it is expected that motions will not look completely natural.

Below are two different examples:





As you can probably see in the overlays, idle motion from the second motion is naively copied over. Ignoring idle motion by using some type of cropping or time alignment would alleviate such problems.

Until Next Week:
I will continue to flesh out the tool to allow more options in creating the overlays. Once I finish this, I will try to find some more motions that we can use to test the overlays.
