MoCap experience [ by Didier Brun aka Foxy ]

MoCap is the acronym for Motion Capture which is technique of digitally recording points movements in 3 dimensions.

I carried out some litle experimentations about play & parse some MoCap datas files at runtime.

Here's an Acclaim ASF parsing demo (thanks to new RegExp AS3 class !)
Here's a Simple Biovision BVA playing demo

I have much ideas about MoCap applications like :

  • Full 3D Mocap Player
  • Flash IDE wireframe MoCap timeline drawer (JSFL)
  • 3D/2D Character animator

and much more...

Must read :
M. Meredith and S.Maddock Mocap File formats explanations : PDF[en]

Studied formats :

  • ASF (Acclaim Skeleton File)
  • AMC (Acclaim Motion Capture)
  • BVA (BioVision Animation)
  • BVH (BioVision Hierarchical)

    Hi tolis, my work about mocap is part of a commercial project.
    So I don’t share any source about this for the moment.
