Motion capture

on the...

MoCap originally existed in Mortal Kombat.

In the first one, they used MoCap for the normal cutscenes.

They did it with, I think, almost everything in this one.

There's like 250-some scenes in this that have MoCap versus 80 in the first.

But like, to my understanding, and I'm a dummy, were they mo capping the actors faces or were they just mo capping their head and then going in and using like, you know, using their engine to model the emotions on the actor or on the actors faces? Do you know what I mean?

It's the same as.

causing earthquakes to accurately represent what they do in-game.

It's like MoCap equivalent

for natural disaster.

gonna destroy all the outside so you have to stay inside that's right and play gta do covid again gta 7

And it's coming out on Thursday at 9 a.m. Eastern Standard.

And then the day after that, Intergalactic tweeted out that they were done with MoCap and that they'd see us very soon.

So everybody thought that we were going to see something pretty big at this state of play.

And usually these state of plays in September are their big heavy hitters.

Mm-hmm.

Um, that there are other metrics that you might have internally from MoCap at the Driveline, uh, facility that probably teams have that are coming through.

Yeah.

Like, could you just, uh, you mentioned rotational acceleration.

So dumb.

Mocap, they mocap Yoyoma.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Y- it, it's like obviously a Hutt character.

No Mo Cap though.

No different voice.

No different voice at all.

Next thing up in Deadshots this week, Marvel's Spider-Man 3, the video game, is officially in production.

Confirmed by the facial actor who does Peter Parker's mocap in the game, Ben Johnson's Instagram.

So I think they finished up the Wolverine game like four weeks ago.

It wouldn't go like four weeks ago.

He completely changed the industry.

He revolutionized performance capture.

Before Serkis, CGI characters were mostly animated by artists sitting at computers maybe looking at reference footage of an actor in a booth.

Right.

He vocalizes in this violent, guttural way that literally shreds the vocal cords.

Yeah, that cough.

Stepping back into that performance capture suit now is less like acting and more like trying to play a concert pianist's repertoire on a keyboard where all the keys have become twice as heavy.

That's a great way to put it.
