モーキャプしたデータそのまま使うと

・歩幅が変
・足先が床を貫通する
・親指が骨折する、肘が埋まる
・動きが飛ぶ、カクつく
・別撮りした他キャラのモーションとタイミングが合わない

MotionBuilderでモーション修正

・体型にあわせた歩幅やリーチへの修正：リターゲット
・地面に接地し、床を貫通しない足：フロアコンタクト
・異常な指の曲がり、不自然な姿勢の修正：アニメーションレイヤー
・ノイズ除去：FCカーブ編集、フィルター
・タメツメの演出：TimeWarp
・カメラ、複数キャラクター、壁や椅子などの小物オブジェクト、音源等、複合した要素の演出：Story

Capcom shows off mocap directly into RE Engine with the greater level of accuracy in evaluation afforded by characters with full runtime rigs and physics etc (vs direct to DCC/Motionbuilder shown also).

// a few thoughts on remote work for animators (especially important for aspiring animators)

my story:

let's rewind the clock back to this animation. You're looking at a very rare 17 year old gameplay prototype animation done for the next gen Prince of Persia series at the time.

What crazy about this clip is that it was done by 1 animator in a couple days. I literally saw it animated from start to end with my own eyes. The animation quality in this clip is off the charts, especially when you take into account the animations being released during that era.

Now imagine me, in my squeaky chair, swiveling around every few hours to feast my eyes on this animator's dual 27-inch ViewSonic CRT screens. There was an air of magic in those moments, seeing the Prince of Persia coming to life only a few meters from my desk.

When I would turn back to try and resume my work, my first thoughts were always "how the heck is he animating so fast and so well!" - What's even more puzzling was how he had so much control over the 3dsmax Biped, it had NO friggen F-curves, for crying out loud! loll

- who was this animator?

The monitors I would stare at from my desk belonged to Emile Ghorayeb. Just search his name and you'll see his IMDB credits. He was THAT good back then so you can only imagine how insanely good he is right now!

Today, he's a very good friend of mine that I love very much and we have a lot of wonderful industry related memories that we share!

- why does going to the office matter?

Every day going to the office, I'd be really excited to see my team and eager to see what Emile was working on!

I couldn't wait to dive into my own animations, driven by the aspiration that one day, just maybe, I could reach a level of skill and finesse comparable to the incredible quality he brought to his animations.

- conclusion

Remote work is wonderful, don't get me wrong, it's given us all opportunities we would have never had before and I'm super grateful for it.

That said, for next generation of talent that hasn't yet experienced it.

Try and work from the office, if you can.

In my opinion, it's the best place to learn, to get inspired and certainly the best place to make some wonderful friends that will be a part of your animation journey for life!

Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

ps. turn on the sound and enjoy this rare gem of animation! 💎

I'm so excited to see many VTubers using mocopi...🇺🇸

Oh, by the way, this is a tourist video I took in front of a big bridge in San Francisco by AR mode of mocopi!🦀

What is the name of this bridge?🤔

アメリカに旅行✈️へ行った時に撮ったAR撮影なんだけど、この橋の名前なんだっけ🤔

認真說啦，電腦繪圖(computer graphic)真的不等於電繪，電繪也不能涵蓋電腦繪圖。不過大作家沒有付錢給我，我也不用花力氣為其喉舌，畢竟每個人都是大馬戲團裡面的猴子呀(菸)。
