Performance Animation

Hi there, welcome to my blog! Let see what can we learn in this blog. 
What is Performance Animation?

This is what we animation students learn about in our second year. So basically, this course is about a performance capture by using optical motion capture (MoCap) system. The students will be exposed to the principles of acting and motion capture processes to enhance their digital performance skills. Students will be taught on motion tracking and translate the motion data into 3D application to be mapped with the 3D characters. Students also will learn motion editing techniques to manipulate the motion acquired. At the end of this course, students will be able to produce a believable animation.

Ever wonder how we film our MoCap? So here is how our MoCap equipment look like.
