When you think of motion graphics and animation, I bet your
first thought isn’t video games. But they
use a technique that is seen in many other areas of media, even film. A
technique seen in a movie such as Avatar,
is motion capture. Motion capture, to put it at it’s most basic form, is aligning
the movement of physical people to a character. This means a person’s movements
can be recorded and rendered into a virtual character’s.
It’s an extremely
fascinating technique that has proven to produce a new form of content
creation. For video game makers, animators, and filmmakers alike.
