Abstract

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 companion CD deliver first-hand experience with some of the core processes. * An accessible introduction to motion capture principles and techniques that does not require a computer science background* A survey of the state-of-the-art hardware and software tools, workflows and techniques.* A CD with sample motion capture data, clips, scripts, and Maya/Motion Builder turorials.
