Motion Builder

There was a particular lecture I missed that was on motion builder. I took the time however to learn some basics of the software and document them. I looked into the powerpoint that was provided to catch up on what I had missed from the actual lesson. Motion builder is a piece of software that is commonly used within the motion capture process. Motion capture is an element of game design I am greatly interested in and would love to learn more about. I intend on following up my research of this software in future. Below is an image of the basic interface. As is shown, there is a character with blue balls upon it. These balls represent the balls on the motion capture suit the actors wear. From these balls, a rig can be created/imported to be animated by the actor. I followed the tutorial from the powerpoint. Although I struggled with it, I managed to obtain a basic understanding of the software. This something I will improve on and carry forward that may help me one day in my career life. I plan on researching the software more and obtaining the package to practice with in my own home. this gives me more time to develop my skills in the area.
