Description:

This project consists of three phases. First, motion capture will be performed on various animator/character samples to produce a quantitative description of the character's motion. Possible motions for analysis include walk and run cycles. Second, this data will be analyzed to produce a set of parametrized equations where the set of parameters for a given animator/character is unique. Finally, this will be used to produce filters to add a specific flavor to motion captured data for live actors.
