Pirated Aikido Movies
One of my new students borrowed me a CD-ROM he purchased online some time ago. It has just about every mpeg, avi, mov, and asf that you can find by searching on the web.
It also includes a shareware version of an Aikido software that lets you pose stick figures in aikido positions and then animate them.
Much of the stuff is off Aikido Journal, Kjarten Klausen's site, and other places that have these clips for free.
I find this odd and wonder if this product is illegal, or just in bad taste.

Michael,
I'm very interested in that stick-figure program.
Do you know the name of it ?
Thanks,
Aleksey.

Illegal or not
Well, the videos can be downloaded from the web for free, and the program too, because is shareware. If you dont distribute it as your creation, nor you sell it, you can distribute it legally, because is public material. But if you sell what is not your creation, and free, i think that is illegal. You cant sell what is not yours... by the way, i am no lawyer, so wait, maybe a professional post some about that.
The stick figure program sounds interesting.
Sincerely,
Levente

I think the product you are referring to is being sold. It was mentioned on this site last month (here is the thread: http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showth...&threadid=3375 ), with a link to the item on ebay:

It doesn't allow to view the resulting animation as a whole, and it has no movement interpolation.
Disappointing.

I haven't really played around too much with it. Aren't you able to export the animation file as a BMP / gif? If so, you could manually link the BMPs to form an animation.
Also, you can't adduct / abduct the arms/legs, so no bearhugs, chokes etc
Anyone else have any other progs? I still think this one is pretty damn groovy

Did ya learn that fancy-shmancy grammar in that thar skewl ya went ta?
I've tried modeling aikido techniques with every single version of Poser that ever came out (back when it was by MetaCreations). Even with the latest version, it's still tough, and forget about modeling the hands, etc. You'd have a psychotic epsiode before you could say "munetsuki kaiten-nage".
Still, I highly recommend looking into the latest Poser. WELL worth the money if you like modeling figures and want to make cool little anims from it.

If you have Poser you can go to Still Point Aikido Center and buy the Aikido Poses 1: Basic Postures downloads.
Well I suppose you can buy it even if you don't have Poser...but it won't work very well for you They also have a link to a free Poser demo download.
