Project 2:

Overview:

The second project involves capturing the motion that was set up by your shot list and storyboards, labeling the trajectories of the markers on the performer, and then cleaning the resultant data to take care of overlapping data, switching markers, etc.

Software:

Vicon Workstation will be used for all of these tasks.

Assignment:

You will need to elect one person in your group to wear the motion capture suit. Before any capture can be done, you will need to calibrate the space. The person who will later be in the suit will run these sessions and other members will move the static and dynamic calibrating devices. Everyone will be involved in putting markers on the motion capture subject, and the people not in the suit will be responsible for capturing. Each person must label and clean at least two motions. All markers should have a label and all discrepancies should be taken care of in your final .c3d file. If there is missing marker data, this can be addressed using MotionBuilder in the next assignment.

Instructor:

I need to know which motions each person has. I also need a copy of the marker setup you are planning to use and a short explanation of why. If any one has trouble or questions, feel free to talk to me about them.
