anyway now I can do PNGtubering as a 3D Movie Maker Character!
With some annoying color artifacting because apparently the hard part is getting pixels from one app to another, but hey. it works.

I tested it out in a work meeting. It's listening to my mic, and shows a static pose until I talk, then it plays the talk animation.

@foone Compare that to the dreadful feeling of:

"I need to write example code for X."
And then you realize you did.
20 years ago.
And someone put the damn thing in production.

"oh shit, this is using my example code I wrote for a mailing list back in 2002"
