Motion Capture Retargeting
Motion Capture Retargeting is a process in animation where movement data from a performer is mapped onto a digital character, even when the character has a different body shape or size. Designers use this technique to make sure that the digital character moves in a way that matches the original performance, even if the character is a robot, animal, or fantasy creature. This process can help create more natural and believable animations by adjusting for differences in limb length, joint placement, or proportions. Motion Capture Retargeting can be used to quickly animate many characters in a scene, saving time and effort for animators and making large crowd scenes possible with unique movements for each character.
