Animating Fight Scene to Ref Video / M4

Baazar

Hey guys,
I'm making a 3D movie with M4 and V4 and so far I've mocaped the whole thing so animation hasn't been an issue. I came to a point where I needed to hand animate some fight scenes. I took reference video from the choreographed fights that I shot in real life and hoping to match the animation in Daz Studio or Poser.

It appears that Daz Studio does not support this. I can add the backdrop but I understand it will not preview video.

I tried this method in Poser and I can get the ref to work in preview but I hate animating in Poser. I have been getting very frustrated with the IK in poser. Anytime the figure turns or spins, the feet get blown out and twisted apart. I've spent hours trying to adjust and fix the rotations as well as turning on and off IK. The results have been sloppy from that.

I prefer animating in DS with the pins a lot more. The feet don't seem to have this spin out issue.

So I wanted to offer this to the community to see if anyone had any better ideas.

I'd also be willing to pay someone to do the animations and send me PZ2 and PZ3 files if you're better at Poser than I am.

Thanks for reading! I appreciate all the help and advice on here.

in daz animating the thigh or shin you always will get the feet shuffling also after pinning them
