Our 3D Puppetry software allows users to directly perform animations using physical toys in front of a Kinect depth sensor. It tracks the puppets in real time and re-renders them in a virtual scene using stored 3D models. Even novices with no prior animation experience can produce entertaining shorts after using our system for only 30 minutes.
Please visit the official 3D Puppetry Software site to download the software and learn more, or download the code directly from github.
