Wavefront's big product AFAIK was called Kinemation. I used it circa 1994 to pre-render sprites using motion captured animations that were captured at a very early studio called BioVision. The game was for the Mega Drive / Genesis. We may have been the first game to do motion capture in this manner (not rotoscoped). IDK?

BVH format is still floating around. The Biovision motion capture format. I am quite surprised!
