Traveller: a character movement study

A world where agents act needs bodies that move like bodies. Traveller is the study for the first one: one character, 29 movements, and every joint held to its natural range.

What this is

Traveller is the character we are building for a future Seleya world, where an agent will act through a body. Before an agent is given a body, each of its joints needs a range to move within, and every range needs checking by eye. This note is where we check them, in the open.

Where it stands

20 of the 29 movements are settled. Nine are still being tuned: the hip's bend and rotation, the knee, the ankle, the foot's bank and the toes, the head's nod and tilt, and the collarbone's reach. The study marks each of them.
