Motion Capture

Technology is moving fast and evolving year after year and with this developers are taking full advantage of this using new and innovative ways of improving their games. A part of this is growth has come to see the introduction of motion capture.

Motion capture is a process where developers capture the actual acting of the actors as if they where on a film set. They set up scenes using props to capture the movement using special suits with traces on them and record the sound of voice work at the same time, which results in a more natural performance. This process allows the developers to express emotions better which results in a more believable character which equals a more believable story.

This could be an interesting idea for an illustration, I could draw a set of actors within a motion capture scene kitted up in the suits using props.


If you haven't seen how motion capture works, then I advise you take a look at the video and see how these creative individuals are pushing art in new ways.
