In this video we will be looking at the Motion Graphs paper from 2002. This paper has been cited over 600 times in other papers. It is one of my favorite paper as it sparked so many ideas.

It was not intended to do realtime animations, but other papers have been looking into improving it to be used in video games. Unfortunately I've never seen any game engine implementing them, as back then, having a 'black box' system was a no go.
Now that the industry has shifted its view with motion matching and neural network, it is probably time to have a look at what we missed :)
