As you watch the video, look out for these learning points:

• How to animate virtual humans using Gestures, Emotions, and Poses.
• Users can assign these Animations to a Track Timeline and adjust their intensity.

Animate Virtual Humans in Performance Editor:

• Click on the tab on the right section called ‘Animation’ to view the Gestures, Emotions and Poses to select to animate the virtual human.
• Before assigning Animation, ‘Add Track’ for a Gesture track, Emotion track or Pose track (by clicking the + next to the virtual human’s name in the bottom left corner)
• You are only allowed 1 track each of: Emotion and Pose, while you can add as many Gestures as you’d like (so different parts of the body of the virtual human may move at the same time)
• Drag the Animation addition on the track line to set where you want the Animation to occur
• Increase or decrease the Intensity / Fade of each Animation
• Click outside of the Animation to apply it
• Build up your Animation by adding multiple Gestures and Emotions throughout the conversation
• Be careful to not assign too many poses too close to each other to prevent glitchy animation.
• Hover over any added Animation to show the trash bin to click to delete.
• Have fun playing around with animating your characters!
