![]() ![]() In mid-90’s color television was introduced in US market. All this was black and white frame which was drawn by hand. Later seven such movies were released that era along with Snow white and seven dwarfs. Later in 1923 Walt Disney and Warner bros created Mickey Mouse character and series of animation with Mickey Mouse and friends, Disney won Academy award for this movie. ![]() Movies like Fantasmagorie, Gertie the Dinosaur, Feline Follies were the first animated short films made for entertainment. This is how traditional animation came to live in 20 th century, people started drawing frame by frame pictures which was either projected or recorded to form animation. Later in that century people did some more research and invented different types such as Zoetrope, flip book, praxinoscope. This took drawing on another level where people started their favorite pictures moving. This was called Phenakistoscope which was invented by two Australian men. In early 19 th Century, the sequence of arranging frame by frame pictures on a chart or wheel and rotating it to get animated movement. Animation replicates real life things on paper by drawing it or creating it on computers using various software’s. It starts with animation and the enhancement in the world of Animation. As the production cost of motion capture is high, my research is to find the easiest and the cost effective way to do it with available resources History of Motion Capture Many a times the software in which the studio gives the output is not compatible for motion capture. Sometimes it is difficult for a regular animation studio or an individual to hire a motion capture studio because of the high cost. I have developed a marker less MoCap system, even worked on a Marker MoCap system which targets these issues. In this project, I haven’t used accurate motion capture systems due to high cost, inflexibility and complexity of operation. I need to troubleshoot the problems encountered while converting the captured data into a compatible 3D software. Furthermore I need to do research on the cameras used in Motion Capture and MoCap suits with and without markers. The task which is involved in doing this research is to find out the easiest and the cost effective way to do motion capture. My research is to learn different methods, software and the techniques to get the desired output. The Idea of my project is to research different ways of performing a full body motion capture and transfer it onto a 3D Character. Thanks to hard work by the manufacturers of motion capture systems as well as numerous software developers, motion capture has become a feasible tool for the generation of animation. In the early days, the effort required to ‘clean up’ motion capture data often took as long as if the animation was created by an animator, from scratch. This is in contrast to animation that is created ‘by hand’ through a process known as key framing. Full body motion capture (MoCap) plays an important role in all the fields from entertainment to medicine. Motion capture is defined as “The creation of a 3D representation of a live performance”, according to the book of Understanding Motion Capture by Alberto Menache for Computer Animation and Video Games. ![]() The asset pack is free to download until 31 August 2019.Conduct practice based research in the creation of a series of Performance Capture test to design on workflow The download includes source files in FBX format. Siarhei Chekolian’s Generic NPC Anim Pack is available for Unreal Engine 4.11+ for a range of desktop and mobile platforms. They should work with the standard Epic skeleton. The files comprise a range of in-place animations, including idle cycles and characters talking, stretching or looking around, and are licensed for commercial use.Īll of the motions are provided both as source FBX files and for Unreal Engine. In-place idle animations for NPC characters, provided in FBX and UE4 formats The assets, which normally cost around $15, feature in Epic Games’ free marketplace content for August 2019, part of its ongoing series of monthly UE4 asset drops. Animator Siarhei Chekolian’s pack of 69-game ready mocap animations suitable for NPC characters is available to download for free from Unreal Engine Marketplace. ![]()
