Virtuaalisen Esittelijän Ja Liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmän Käyttöönotto 1 Mikko Lahti Virtuaalisen esittelijän ja liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmän käyttöönotto Opinnäytetyö Syksy 2015 SeAMK Tekniikka Tietotekniikan tutkinto-ohjelma 2 SEINÄJOEN AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU Opinnäytetyön tiivistelmä Koulutusyksikkö: Tekniikan yksikkö Tutkinto-ohjelma: Tietotekniikan koulutusohjelma Suuntautumisvaihtoehto: Mekatroniikka Tekijä: Mikko Lahti Työn nimi: Virtuaalisen esittelijän ja liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmän käyttöönotto Ohjaaja: Hellman Tapio Vuosi: 2015 Sivumäärä: 52 Liitteiden lukumäärä: 1 SeAMKin virtuaalitekniikan laboratorion CAVE-studion esittelyitä on suuri tarve virtaviivaistaa, koska nykyisellään tämä vie paljon henkilökunnan aikaa, ja palkattua varahenkilöstöä ei ole. CAVE-studion optisen paikannusjärjestelmän käyttöä liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmänä on myös syytä tutkia ja kehittää, koska hyvin toteutettuna se saattaa lisätä kaupallisia yhteistyöprojekteja liikkeenkaappauksesta kiinnostuneiden tahojen kanssa. Tämän työn tavoitteena oli toteuttaa VR4MAX-visualisointirajapintaa käyttävä CAVE-esitys, johon on sisällytetty Motive-ohjelmiston liikkeenkaappauksella animoitu, Make Human -ohjelmistolla luotu ja 3ds Max -ohjelmistolla mallinnettu esittelijähahmo, sekä text-to-speech-menetelmällä luotu CAVE:n esittelypuhe. Työssä tutkittiin liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmän kunnollista käyttöönottoa ja optimaalista työnkulkua. Valmiiksi tulokseksi saatiin toimiva CAVE-esitys ja liikkeenkaappausjärjestelmän käyttöönotto onnistui. Avainsanat: liikkeenkaappaus, animaatio, Motive, 3ds Max, VR4MAX 3 SEINÄJOKI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Thesis abstract Faculty: School of Technology Degree programme: Information Technology Specialisation: Mechatronics Author: Mikko Lahti Title of thesis: Commissioning a virtual presenter and a motion capture system Supervisor: Tapio Hellman Year: 2015 Number of pages: 52 Number of appendices: 1 The CAVE studio in the virtual laboratory of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences is in great need of streamlining its introduction demo, because currently this takes a lot of staff time, and there is no paid substitute staff. Researching and developing the optical tracking system of the CAVE studio to be used in motion capture applications is also necessary, because if implemented well, it may increase the commercial collaborations with parties interested in motion capture. The objective of this work was a CAVE presentation, carried out using the VR4MAX visualization interface. This includes a character created in Make Human character creation software, animated in Motive motion capture software and modelled in 3ds Max 3D modelling software. There is also a CAVE presentation speech, created by using the text-to-speech method. This thesis studied the commissioning of a motion capture system and its optimal workflow. The thesis resulted in a functioning CAVE presentation and the commissioning of the motion capture system was successful.

  • Making a Game Character Move
    Piia Brusi MAKING A GAME CHARACTER MOVE Animation and motion capture for video games Bachelor’s thesis Degree programme in Game Design 2021 Author (authors) Degree title Time Piia Brusi Bachelor of Culture May 2021 and Arts Thesis title 69 pages Making a game character move Animation and motion capture for video games Commissioned by South Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Supervisor Marko Siitonen Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to serve as an introduction and overview of video game animation; how the interactive nature of games differentiates game animation from cinematic animation, what the process of producing game animations is like, what goes into making good game animations and what animation methods and tools are available. The thesis briefly covered other game design principles most relevant to game animators: game design, character design, modelling and rigging and how they relate to game animation. The text mainly focused on animation theory and practices based on commentary and viewpoints provided by industry professionals. Additionally, the thesis described various 3D animation and motion capture systems and software in detail, including how motion capture footage is shot and processed for games. The thesis ended on a step-by-step description of the author’s motion capture cleanup project, where a jog loop was created out of raw motion capture data. As the topic of game animation is vast, the thesis could not cover topics such as facial motion capture and procedural animation in detail. Technologies such as motion matching, machine learning and range imaging were also suggested as topics worth covering in the future.

  • A Procedural Interface Wrapper for Houdini Engine in Autodesk Maya
    A PROCEDURAL INTERFACE WRAPPER FOR HOUDINI ENGINE IN AUTODESK MAYA A Thesis by BENJAMIN ROBERT HOUSE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, André Thomas Committee Members, John Keyser Ergun Akleman Head of Department, Tim McLaughlin May 2019 Major Subject: Visualization Copyright 2019 Benjamin Robert House ABSTRACT Game development studios are facing an ever-growing pressure to deliver quality content in greater quantities, making the automation of as many tasks as possible an important aspect of modern video game development. This has led to the growing popularity of integrating procedural workflows such as those offered by SideFX Software’s Houdini FX into the already established de- velopment pipelines. However, the current limitations of the Houdini Engine plugin for Autodesk Maya often require developers to take extra steps when creating tools to speed up development using Houdini. This hinders the workflow for developers, who have to design their Houdini Digi- tal Asset (HDA) tools around the limitations of the Houdini Engine plugin. Furthermore, because of the implementation of the HDA’s parameter display in Maya’s Attribute Editor when using the Houdini Engine Plugin, artists can easily be overloaded with too much information which can in turn hinder the workflow of any artists who are using the HDA. The limitations of an HDA used in the Houdini Engine Plugin in Maya as a tool that is intended to improve workflow can actually frustrate and confuse the user, ultimately causing more harm than good.

  • Surrealist Aesthetics
    SURREALIST AESTHETICS Using Surrealist Aesthetics to Explore a Personal Visual Narrative about Air Pollution Peggy Li Auckland University of Technology Master of Design 2020 A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design, Digital Design P a g e | 1 Abstract “Using Surrealist Aesthetics to Explore a Personal Visual Narrative about Air Pollution”, is a practice-based research project focusing on the production of a poetic short film that incorporates surrealist aesthetics with motion capture and digital simulation effects. The project explores surrealist aesthetics using visual effects combined with motion capture techniques to portray the creator’s personal experiences of air pollution within a poetic short film form. This research explicitly portrays this narrative through the filter of the filmmaker’s personal experience, deploying an autoethnographic methodological approach in the process of its creation. The primary thematic contexts situated within this research are surrealist aesthetics, personal experiences and air pollution. The approach adopted for this research was inspired by the author’s personal experiences of feeling trapped in an air-polluted environment, and converting these unpleasant memories using a range of materials, memories, imagination, and the subconscious mind to portray the negative effects of air pollution. The overall aim of this process was to express my experiences poetically using a surrealist aesthetic, applied through
