    Hi Anthony!

    I'm actually recently started on a VERY similar project like yours. The camera produces a .csv file that I need to use to animate a rigged humanoid avatar (in real time). I'm trying to accomplish this using no plugins if possible. Have you found a solution or any ideas on how to do this? I tried making my avatar into a "rag doll" and assigning each of the joints to the corresponding point in the CSV file. Unfortunately, this gave an avatar that looked like it was having a seizure. Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated. Good luck!
