How’s converter useful? 

§ Use all software’s auto track  results in same project.
§ Use advantage features of some  tracking software’s in other software’s. (e.g. 3DE’s marker track mode)
§ Maya is not final part of pipeline, use it in the middle of process.
§ Work on 2d tracks, 2dProjections or solved Maya scenes of tracking software’s.
§ you can collect all data in which software you want, and solve there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Digital Acting Alphabets Tools

 

My project is to able to create a digital acting alphabet by using motion capture. Once this alphabet is established, directors then will  be able to generate brand new digital acting by using the members of the alphabet set.
This alphabet data will be stored in a relational database system. Then by applying statistical stochastic process and fuzzy logic to the stored alphabet data, various digital acting performances will be created.

Generating performance in computer

Create personal alphabet!

Syllabic, words, emphasis', expressions, emotions, behaviors, will be archived to define  personality.

 It will provide to generate new behaviors. Fundamentally, data will come from real actress/actor.
 On other hands, director will direct of their performance data.

In instance;

For actor's anger will taken as two pass, low and high level. Speech will record as different pass. Director will make a decision about level of performance. But at the same time generated data will came from dummy's performance.

 
To use dbms and statistical stochastic process will turn into intelligent data.
*Input data; optic mocap, image base mocap, new techs
