A super brilliant system that makes us absolutely love Epic Games, as it removes a lot of the painful C++ coding that previous versions of Unreal had. We’re also working out all the kinks and bugs in the animations as they are integrated into UE4, as well as creating what are known as “blueprints” in the UE4 engine. Generally if you do all these items in the proper order production runs much smoother. Animations are key right now because after animation there is of course.sound design. Programming currently is in tandem with the animations above. We’ll be covering a lot of the mocap sessions with a monthly diary, as well as some video of it once it begins! Those two are actually being played by two people interacting at the same time within the mocap session.

So if you see a character being assaulted by another character. What this does is allow us to create scenes and interactions without trying to run one actor at a time and then implementing them with each other in the engine later on. This photo shows how the cameras are set up, to capture every angle, and in some cases multiple actors at once. You can use three of these cameras in a minimum set up. Here are some photos from the software website to show how it'll work: We’re still gathering all the gear (*cough*black friday*cough*) and peeps for this currently, but we’ll be ready to start in January….ish. With a circle of up to 12 of these you can capture every detail. The cameras? The Playstation Eye believe it or not (along with special depth sensors). This will take roughly 3 to 4 computers to capture and process.

What’s interesting about this setup is it’s capability of capturing 3 actors at once in the field, which makes it ideal for cut scenes. iPi Mocap Studio is a software program provided by iPi Soft LLC for tracking an actor’s motion by analyzing multi-camera (or depth sensor) video recordings.īelow is a demo setup that will be similar to what we come up with (what is pictured is not our setup).

We’ll be using software built for this known as iPi Mocap Studio. The motion capture system will be used for cut scenes, and some other gameplay related scenes.

We’re working on implementing a full space for most of our team (mostly the voice actors of course) to arrive and perform motion capture for Dark Storm.
