MOTEK Completed a 16 Characters, Motion Capture Project for
X-Box Racing Game "QUANTUM REDSHIFT"

April 2002, Amsterdam - MOTEK completed successfully a motion capture production ordered by British "Curly Monsters". The project was a racing X-Box game and included 16 characters.
Eight females and eight males.

This production was the first to utilize MOTEK's simulation capabilities, which include MOTEK's D-Flow software and a 6 degrees of freedom motion platform, especially designed for MOTEK. These capabilities are driven from MOTEK's medical CAREN system and give the ability to easily simulate different environments and scenes. In this particular production, a special motorcycle/spaceship was involved, creating a need for realistic simulation in order to get realistic body movement and compensation motion data. MOTEK overcame this challenge by building and fixing to the motion platform a motorcycle shape construction. Using D-Flow, the director manipulated the movement of the motion platform, simulating different road conditions, simply by moving a computer mouse. In the meantime, the motion of the actor and the platform was captured, resulting in high quality and realistic, motion capture data. To complete customer requirements a second operator used a pair of Cyber Gloves to generate finger motion data.

MOTEK designs, creates and markets motion capture data solutions, real-time or post-production. Internationally recognized for its pioneering work in the field, MOTEK brings technologies developed for high-end simulation into commercial environments, medical, simulation and advertising industries. MOTEK also draws on its expertise in motion capture technology to provide a wide-array of professional services, such as custom motion capture project development, location based entertainment programming, animation and consulting services.
