This week, I delved into the specific steps of the motion capture technique to ensure that our animated scenes would meet a higher standard of quality. We used a complete process, from head recognition to expression recording and then baking the expression data onto our custom MateHuman.
First, we performed the head recognition stage, capturing the character’s head movements with advanced head tracking technology. This step is crucial to the realistic representation of the character and can add more subtlety and emotion to the animated scene.
Next, we performed expression recording, where we recorded the character’s facial expressions through a motion capture helmet. This step is one of the keys to animation, as it gives the character a more vivid and expressive quality. We imported the latest motion capture helmets from China to ensure that we could capture the most accurate and detailed facial movements.
Finally, we baked these expressions into our custom MateHuman. This process ensures that our characters are consistently represented in the animation, which not only improves efficiency, but also makes the character’s movements more natural and realistic.
This week’s practice has not only helped me become more familiar with motion capture techniques, but has also given me a clearer understanding of how to better apply these techniques to our animated scenes. I am looking forward to these optimisation measures to bring better effects to our animation scenes.
