This week, we ventured into the motion capture lab to experiment with mocap technology. The entire motion capture data was ultimately integrated into the SHOGUN LIVE software. Initially, we ensured that all cameras were connected to the computer and performed spatial calibration according to the software guide, ensuring that sensors within the capture area were correctly identified and configured.
Character Setup: In the software, we created or imported character models and performed the necessary rigging and settings.
Motion Capture: The process of using specialized equipment to record human movements, so these actions can be converted into digital information.
Data Processing: We adjusted and improved the captured motion data using software tools to ensure the accuracy and naturalness of the movements.
Data Export: The optimized motion data was saved and transferred, making it usable by other software, such as animation or game engines.
Thus, motion capture is about recording and optimizing human movements, and then transferring the data into other software for further use.
