I might be mistaken, but I think this is partly because of the undirected structure of RBMs, so you can't build a computational graph in the same way as with feed-forward networks.

Nice and clean explanation!

It brings up a lot of memories! Shameless plug: I made a visualization of an RBM being trained years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKAy_NONg3g

This doesn't make motion capture obsolete: 1) Mocap can be applied to rigged characters and 2) mocap can animate full-body rigs not just facial expressions.
