MOTEK Completed a 16 Characters, Motion Capture Project,
for the 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 game for the X-Box console and included 16 characters: eight females and eight males.

The production was the first production coming from the entertainment market to utilize MOTEK's simulation capabilities, using D-Flow software and the 6 degrees of freedom motion platform that was specially designed for MOTEK. Quantum Redshift is a racing game using special futuristic motorcycle/spaceship. Realistic simulation of the vehicle was crucial in order to get realistic body movements during the motion capture sessions. MOTEK overcame this challenge by building and fixing to the motion platform a motorcycle shape construction and attaching it to the motion platform. 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 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- , medical-, simulation- and advertising environments. 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.
