I have neglected the Grammar Based Universes aspect of my website for far too long. What better way to break the silence than with Mixamo.

What mixamo is is a procedural character generating system That not only allows the user to prototype new characters rapidly but provides precedural tools for rigging and simple canned animations.

I’m not saying all character should be created this way. In fact it can be kind of limiting on the grand scale of things. However, if you are a developer trying create a prototype for an early concept or are experimenting for tomorrow’s technologies, then time is your greatest nemesis. Unless developing beautiful characters is your primary ambition, you need to customize a character which will provide the function you need now. I have not had an opportunity to play with Mixamo yet. However, I will follow up as I discover more about this unique tool.
As the Raconteur engine comes to life, I will definitely keep this service in mind.
