FYP Showreel

craig_jj

For my Final Year Project i will be doing a array of animations using a blade mocap suite. Once these animations ar captured i will be trimming them and cleaning up in maya and motion builder. These animation will be ready for use in UE4 to be rendered if needed. These are two of the show reels that have inspired me to do this for my fyp.

I got into the mocap room but a bit rusty on everything and my first takes did not come out as planned and the character is broken. This is due to being in a rush for time as it too way too long to set up the mocap suite. next time i get into the suite i need to make sure my actor is in a correct t-pose.
here is a link to my playlist

i used a female actor in my second take in the mocap suite. She was better than the male and took direction and pulled off some nice animations. I got the female to do some everyday animation that would work in a GTA style of level and another set of army animation.

My male actor could not turn up so i had to use my female actor to record his parts. i used a new set up, that used finger location. This should of helped my animaitons as i was using a sword prop but broke all the fingers.

Picked my three animations for the female and male character to use. Using the finger set up in my last set of animations caused more problems than i would of liked. i had to wipe all finger data and keyframe them.

I need to add some props and mainly the Georgia F1 is her getting her bag robbed.

What is it you`re trying to accomplish with these? It seems as though you`re just through the mocap data on a character. You arent really cleaning up the data like you would in a studio. Im seeing tons of pops. The hand poses are very static. Are you combing clips? Are you creating cycles out of it? We need more info.

My aim for these animation is to create action animations that would fit into different game environments. The animations are spit in to two animations which could be scene in a medieval game, another two in a army type of game and two that could fit into a GTA style of game.

I agree with @slipsius .  These feel like a mountain of raw mocap.  Great that you have a setup that you can do your own, but you'll want to show that you can impliment them in a variety of way.  Either onto skeletons that aren't the normal proportioned characters, animate the face/fingers/accessories, heavily modify/adjust/combine several takes or clips, ect.
