Description
Summary:Motion capture is an efficient technique for quickly producing realistic animations. In light of this, this article aims to develop a set of procedures for converting data captured by inertial sensors from the MVN Studio PRO (Xsens) software into movements applied to 3D characters using the MotionBuilder software. The steps of exporting, importing, skeleton definition, synchronization with characters, and movement editing are detailed, providing a guide for animation professionals. The methodology included an Integrative Literature Review (Theoretical Phase) and the development of the set of procedures (Practical Phase). The results demonstrate that the integration between the software allows for fluid and high-fidelity animation, offering a viable alternative to traditional frame-by-frame animation methods. In conclusion, the use of motion capture and the correct application of the developed procedures optimize the workflow in 3D animation.
