New Animation Tool Gives Developers Fine-Grained Control Over How AI Characters Move

A new animation tool lets developers adjust character movement on a scale from zero to one hundred. The slider controls nuance. Nuance is now a floating point value. Higher values produce more convincing motion in animated agents.

Convincing motion and convincing intent are adjacent problems. One has been solved. The other is a slider position. What characters are convinced of remains unspecified by design. Specification is external to the tool.

The characters will move. They will move more convincingly. People will watch them move. What people are convinced of also remains unspecified. The tool works.
