Motion Capture Suit
What is a motion capture suit and how does it enhance animation?
GLOSSARY
A Motion Capture Suit is specialized attire equipped with sensors that capture the wearer's physical movements, translating them into digital animations. This technology allows for highly realistic and complex character animations by mapping real human movements onto digital models.
In creating a video game, a motion capture suit can be used to record an actor's movements, ensuring the game's characters move just as fluidly and realistically as humans.
Technical definition
The suit contains sensors or markers at key anatomical points, and as the actor moves, the data is captured by cameras and software, which then apply the movements to a 3D model in real time or during post-production.
