Creating animated characters outdoors |
February 25, 2014
So far, film studios have had to put in huge amounts of effort to set monsters, superheroes, fairies or other virtual characters into real feature film scenes. Within the so-called motion capturing process, real actors wear skintight suits with markers on them. These suits reflect infrared light that is emitted and captured by special cameras. Subsequent to this, the movements of the actors are rendered with the aid of software into animated characters. Now, researchers in Germany have developed a method that works without markers. It immediately transfers actors’ movements to the virtual characters in near real-time.
