28: Motion Capture: Pipeline, Applications, and Use
Full Day
Monday, 1:30 – 5:15 pm, Part 1
Room 207
Tuesday, 8:30 am – 12:15 pm, Part 2
CAL/Room 214CD
An introduction to motion capture, from initial planning
to final mapping of data to characters. Various uses of
motion capture, including dance, human-motion analysis
and recognition, character animation, and facial animation
are presented. Using Maya, attendees gain hands-on experience
with applying motion to characters.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of computer animation concepts. Familiarity
with an animation package is beneficial for the CAL sessions.
Topics
Overview of motion-capture technologies and pipeline,
strategies for successful captures, various applications
of motion capture, and typical problems encountered. CAL
sessions cover data formats for motion capture; importing
acclaim, bvh, and c3d files; constraining motion capture
to existing models; and motion blending and warping.
