I was on the video team when we were going over this project, so I fell a little behind. But I found Mixamo and Fuse easy to use and got the hang of both things fairly quickly. I definitely wish I would've known about these programs 3 years ago... would've made my life a lot simpler.
I had a lot of fun messing around with Mixamo and Fuse for this project. Since I found out that we could have the characters do the "Thriller" dance by Michael Jackson, I downloaded all of the regular characters from the Mixamo website and had them do the first part of the dance. Then, using Fuse, I made a Michael Jackson to lead the dance, as well as two zombie back-up dancers.
I had a few technical difficulties with the textures and trying to use playmaker... For example, some of the characters look super weird because the textures didn't work. I also couldn't fix the volume for the "Thriller" song (but I promise it's there). But, other than that, it was good overall. The background/ world is fairly simple. I was looking for a really spooky haunted house set/ scene/ world to use, but I couldn't find a free one... So I just threw in a creepy mansion instead.
