Motion Capture Update

The motion capture workshop was this afternoon. It wasn't nearly as exciting as I had hoped but it was very interesting all the same. Will (aka Anonymous) dressed up in black tights and then attached little balls with reflective tape on them all over the suit. There were about 8 or 9 cameras all around the room and sure enough the computer was able to track his motion. The data was then cleaned up and exported to 3D Studio Max where a bi-ped that someone else created was attached to the data and recreated the motions on the 3D plane.
