Do the Locomotion

We got to use the Vicon motion capture system in my Computer Animation class, which was AWESOME. Probably one of the coolest things I've done here at Penn. I suited up! The retroreflective markers glow when you use the flash on a camera:


It was really cool to see little dots on the projected screen move when I moved! We recorded 13 motions and then picked a few and brought them into Motion Builder to create into animations and then blend together. I used my captures of idles, a handstand, running and a cartwheel.  Still working on attaching it back to a character (when I tried it broke in the arms) but the motion turned out ok!
