Further explanation of the 'dance cards' shown at GDC, explaining the process of how we captured the moves that went into motion matching.

Videos taken in part from my GDC 2016 Talk given at the Animation Bootcamp: Motion Matching - The Future of Games Animation... Today. Extra narration is given to dive deeper into why we made the choices we did.

DISCLAIMER: This was not developed for any particular game and could apply to any potential Ubisoft project, it was in large part developed by the talented team at Ubisoft Toronto

Huge Credit needs to go to Michael Buttner - Ubisoft Toronto's resident genius that happens to be an animation programmer he created this particular technique, without him this would not of been possible.
