01. Why should you utilize Motion
Capture (Mocap) Technology?
Motion Capture
gives flexibility to the animators to create human realistic
animation. By using the captured performance by the actors, the
animators can create a truly spectacular, artistic and human
realistic animation. Besides, motion capture streamlines your
production pipeline and delivers animation with photo-realistic
subtlety and nuance.
Motion capture
is one of the proven tools for producing photo-realistic and
human realistic animation. Considering the complexity of actions
like sport moves, stunt actions, horse and other animal
movements – creating a key frame animation will be a real
difficulty if the Motion Capture technology is not utilized.
Consider the time frame taken in the key framing. With this
great Mocap technology you can save you time, cost and energy
spend to produce your project.

Maya, Lightwave, Cinema 4D and Softimage/XSI can all import a
variety of motion capture file formats.
Major changes to your current range of animation
tools and programs aren’t necessary to begin using motion
capture data.
06. As an artist, what does motion capture brings
to me?
Truly and absolutely realistic motions that in
another phrase for motion capture we like to call it as
"performance capture." When you capture a live performance, you
don't have the burden of mimicking or duplicating the one.
Adding subtlety and nuance to animated movements using only
traditional techniques is difficult at best.
Performance or motion capture is a unique tool in
the artist’s palette for producing photo-realistic animation.
Consider the accuracy required for sport moves. Consider
duplicating the weight, force and timing of a pole-vaulter or a
rider on a horse. Consider life-risking actions called for in
the script you are bidding. When it's realism you want, mocap
really delivers!
07. How does motion capture fit
into our production schedule?
Practically speaking, if it's your first time
trying motion capture, we honestly advise you to get us involved
as early as possible. Everyone needs a little help on his/ her
initial capturing sessions. Let us guide you through the process
of MoCap. We'll help and guide you to plan and integrate motion
capture into your current production pipeline so that you can
take full advantage and benefit of all that motion capture has
to offer.
08. Is your mocap system mobile?
In fact, motion analysis optical system can be
transported to and set up in a matter of hours in many
locations. We can capture successfully in large indoor arenas,
film studios and gymnasiums besides our own facilities.
09. Can mocap track facial or
hand movements?
Facial capture is very quickly becoming one of
our most specialized services. We have a number of upcoming
projects that require a large amount of facial capture. Hand
movement can also be captured with great detail and efficiency.
10. Can the facial, hand and body integrated?
Yes, provided if the project requires such a
variety. Otherwise it is good to capture all the 3 things
separately.

mocap files of our previous projects. Please look at our
