Make motion capture part of your graphics and effects arsenal. This introduction to motion capture principles and techniques delivers a working understanding of today's state-of-the-art systems and workflows without the arcane pseudocodes and equations. Learn about the alternative systems, how they have evolved, and how they are typically used, as well as tried-and-true workflows that you can put to work for optimal effect. Demo files and tutorials provided on the downloadable resources deliver first-hand experience with some of the core processes.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

As an associate professor in the Arts and Technology (ATEC) program at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) Midori teaches 3D computer animation and motion capture. Prior to joining UTD, she taught at the Ohio State University's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) for 10 years. Prof. Kitagawa's former advisees are contributing to the field of computer animation at educational institutions and at leading production companies, such as Pixar, Blue Sky, and PDI. Prof. Kitagawa holds a Ph.D. degree in visualization science from Texas A&M University, a M.A. degree in computer graphics and animation from the Ohio State University, and a B.F.A. degree in painting from Joshibi University in Tokyo, Japan. Brian Windsor is a graphics researcher at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) at the Ohio State University, where he manages the motion capture lab, teaches motion capture, helps students and other departments with motion capture related issues, and works on research in how to use puppetry with motion graphics. In 2007 he received the Jim Henson Award for Innovation for his work with puppetry and motion capture. Brian has contributed to over 2 dozen video games and 5 features in the past. He has also given numerous lectures, has been published in several journals, and continues to promote motion capture, video game technology, and computer graphics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Unleash the power of digital motion capture in your 3D projects. Learn how to apply state-of-the-art optical motion capture with application-agnostic techniques that require very little math. You learn the vital elements to building a production pipeline that can be used with any combination of hardware and software technologies. MoCap for Artists is an accessible guide for designers that want to implement a professional mocap pipeline with ease and efficiency.

Techniques covered include:

* Planning and preproduction of a motion capture project
* Designing a pipeline and cleaning editing the data
* Decomposing and composing motions
* Hand, facial, and puppetry capture
* Essential math for motion capture artists

The companion CD-Rom includes sample video files in .avi, .mov, .asf, Maya, and MotionBuilder formats that demonstrate first-hand experience with some of the core processes.
