Creating realistic character animation is easier when models get physical

摘要

Motion-capture systems allow the acquisition of actual human performances, with all the timing, body mechanics, and gravity that make for compelling natural motion in animation. However, there are certain types of captures that only the hardiest of actors would be willing to tackle: falling off buildings while being hit with high-velocity projectiles and landing on oil drums, for example. Yet, Natural Motion's Endorphin 2.5 motion-synthesis software was designed for these types of animation challenges.
