Happy new year everyone.
Did I manage to make you believe that it was really a stopmotion timelapse?
Quick stop motion experiment done from a motion capture file. This procedural setup automatically animates both hands of the animator onto the NutCracker. The dance motion capture file is from the Mixamo and then retargeted in blender on the Nutcracker and stepped interpolated to give this stopmotion look.
I really like the vintage wooden painted toys look.
