| Dinosaur Riding, MOTEK
takes motion capture another step forward |
| |
May 2003 Amsterdam - MOTEK got a request for capturing
a human riding on a dinosaur. Capturing dinosaurs is not new for the
entertainment industry and the same applies for humans motion capture.
We decided to try a combined approach for enhanced realism. The first
step was to motion capture a performer playing the role of a dinosaur.
The motion capture data from the dino's hips was used to control a
6-degrees-of-freedom motion platform, which served as a dino simulator.
A second performer sat on the motion platform, her body motions and
compensation of balance were captured while the platform behaved as
the dinosaur she was riding. The result was a realistic behavior of
a human riding on a dinosaur. This multi layer motion capture technique
can be applied in many ways and for many other simulation settings.
For example, instead of recording a human playing the role of a dinosaur,
we can add the motion of any external environment or creature directly
to the motion platform, resulting in realistic combined motions.
