Hi All,
We have an windows WFP application which is used to monitor agents working from home. It constitutes of features like face detection , mobile detection monitor agents for thier presence in front of the screen etc etc. Since users are concerned of them being monitored all day of thier work we want to introduce a frieldly mascot to interact with the user when they are stressed out. This mascot shoud be opened via the windows appliacation and we should be able to display any message to user of our choice Example" You have been working for a long time, please rest for a while".
- I am completely new to animation and i would like to know how can i proceed with this requirement ?
- Do i have to create a animated mascot using different tool and intergrate with my application?
- Does miscrosoft has pacakges here to create using visual studio ?
Attached is an example of a Mascot which i am expecting.

Is your mascot a 3d model? Or image? If your mascot is a 3D model, you can use Visual Studio to create 3d models, it is more complicated. It is recommended that you use other tools to make the model and import it in wpf. You could learn more about wpf animation here.
