To create a full-body motion capture sequence
- Select a motion capture device. The device can be real or virtual. For information on defining motion capture devices, see
Set devices.
- Select a method for calculating the motion.
The method is device-dependent and may use inverse kinematics, forward kinematics, constraints, or a combination of the three.
- Build a skeleton based on the actor’s proportions. If possible, digitize the actor’s joint positions with your motion capture
device.
- Attach the performance skeleton to the device.
- Connect the performance skeleton to the character skeleton.
- Rehearse the actions that you want to record.
- Record the motion.
- Review the recorded motion and insert it into your scene.
- To insert the motion data into your scene, select File > Import and select your motion data file (.mov) from the file browser that appears.
