Interesting Article on Performance Capture
In traditional live action movies, actors go to wardrobe and make up, then act. In performance capture, you act, then your character goes to wardrobe and make up. http://bit.ly/dCpSoy
Giant TechnologyGiant's proprietary technology is based upon advanced tracking and analysis algorithms, with a sophisticated suite of software tools that enable 3D professionals to create the highest quality character animation easier and faster than ever before. Giant's mocap technology is comprised of hundreds of thousands of lines of code that define the human skeleton with scientifically accurate detail: bone length, density, connectivity, and rotation properties. All of which can be modified to mirror the appropriate skeletal set-up for any mechanism that needs to be animated. Our performance capture approach differs greatly from competing hardware-driven solutions that use powerful digital cameras to capture a point cloud of marker data in 3D space, resulting in animation resembling puppetry. With Giant Studios' technology the result is organic and accurate character animation. Due to the scientific accurate detail within our software, Giant defines specific bone lengths and motion parameters of each character skeleton being captured. Giant Studios more faithfully captures the unique motion of each performer. Giant's technology can also be configured to be transparent in the live film production process, enabling live capture, on set, without interfering with the film production. |
