Markerless Motion-Capturing Workshop at HTW Dresden

Dear 3d animators and film makers! We invite you to explore the diversity of human movement in general and of walking styles specifically. In this 4-hour hands-on workshop you will get the possibility to capture and explore unique ways of walking. We will introduce you to the mocap workflow: - capturing the movements with our markerless motion-capture system - tipps and tricks of cleaning and smoothing motion data in Autodesk’s Motion Builder software - and transferring the motion to various characters for export to other animation packages. The 4-hour workshop will take place at University of Applied Sciences Dresden near main station and will be given on request. If you’re interested in participating and you have basic experience in 3D animation software, please let us know via email to sstrauss[at*]informatik.htw-dresden.de (limited number of participants) to fix a date and time.
