3D Sport Animation
Always wanted to do amazing animation, without complex modeling and endless hours of keyframing? Tune in and watch how to do this using Motion Capture and few cool tricks.
You could recognize this look, from World Cup 2006 Germany tv graphics. When I saw it then, I though that it was very nice and easy to make type of animation. I will always try to deliver complete solution of certain project, so anyone that will watch my tutorial will be able to achieve the same result from scratch. In this particular case I will introduce Particle Flow (great particle tool from 3ds max) and Character Studio. If you like to use some other character animation system which can load Motion Capture files (like CAT which is great plugin too) , feel free to do that. It’s all very similar. I decided to use Character Studio instead of CAT because it is bundled with 3ds Max.
You can download the project files by clicking on this big “download” button below. You will find six files there. If you want to start from beginning open Player.max or import Player.3ds . Files .bip and .bvh are downloaded from mocapdata.com and contains Motion Capture movement that we are going to use. If you encounter any problems, you’re stuck or just want to have finished scene to use it in your evil masterplan, there are PlayerFin.max and PlayerFinVray.max. Enjoy.
