Working on Ecstasy!

Hi folks,
I've been using Ecstasy to apply some mocap animations to the ACK figures, and its going really well! Through a strategic alliance with Mr. Bones, we're going to be releasing some additional content packs of ACK-compatible animations, in DSQ format, based on his great motion libraries!
We're talking thousands of motion capture sequences to pour through and dial in for the MACK and FACK figures to use. Chris has been kind enough to add some great editing features as he goes, like "add hands" "make fist", stuff like that has really been icing on the cake. It handles global re-positioning and rotations real time, which has been invaluable.
I've also been using Ecstasy to convert bvh motions to biped skeleton characters... working very well. I was going to post some screenies of my progress, but the in-house feedback was that still pictures of animations don't work really well... man, these guys are smart!
So I made a vid.
