Week 6

I spend the majority of my free time in the studio this weekend. Sunday’s capturing session was relatively successful. On Sunday I captured myself playing the piano with a 5 finger capture using the gloves in the previous post. However I do not have a 5 fingered skeleton and the 3 fingered skeleton was getting markers confused in Vicon during post-processing. As a result I decided to first get some working 3 finger captures. Below is the range of motion that I did added to the character Mia.

Test render through MotionBuilder. Default character Mia and the actor with the labeled markers from a 3 fingered skeleton from ViconiQ.

I also worked on animating the keys.

Early this weekend my markers arrived for my custom motion capture gloves.  Many hours later I finally had found decent gloves and arranged all 30 markers in their proper positions on the gloves, specifically for my hands.  I also borrowed a full sized keyboard to play during the capture session this Sunday, 12-5pm.
