12. Motion capture part 4 - Final

 

When i finish editing the animation, i decided to add a background to the characters. When i downloaded the characters i chose their suit for the fact that i already worked on a sci-fi scene and this would suit it.

I imported my assets and positioned them in a way that would work with the animation. As this became a very heavy scene, the render times increased too much for me to spend many hours rendering, so i made one single export of the background and then exported the animation separately.

To finish i took it into After effects and made a short edit so they look more like they belong in the scene.

The process of recording motion capture data was very fun to do, i enjoyed seeing the character move as we moved as well. Adding the data and skinning the character were the most difficult parts as this is the first time that i do it. It was a little hard to understand why some things were not working, however once i had a general understanding it started to become easier to do. 

Although we didn't add the data to our own character it helped me understand and learn many aspects of animation, such as creating my own control rig and skinning the character so it is ready for animation.
