Animation Tool Puts You in the Game

Matthew Sparkes writes "A new technique could take a simple body scan and allow a user to upload it and use it as an avatar or game character. Previously an animator would have to create a skeleton inside the model and describe movement capabilities manually. In tests, an inexperienced user could produce the animations in less than 15 minutes."

    Yes, it is still their fault. My parents smoked, I don't.
    My parents ate mostly junk food. I eat what other people refer
    to as 'health food' (I call it food). My parents did not exercise.
    I exercise several times per week. Etc.

    An adult is shaped by their childhood experiences, but is not stuck
    being defined by them. The main reason fat people stay fat is that
    they do not opt to act and change their behavior. They find many excuses
    for not changing this behavior.

    Because people generally want to blame someone else for their unhappiness,
    the media has seized on this and now your unhappiness can be conveniently
    labeled as a 'disease' or an 'addiction' for which you need 'treatment'.
    If so, good luck with that, you'll need it.
