A tutorial on motion capture driven character animation

Motion capture (MoCap) is an increasingly important technique to create realistic human motion for animation. However MoCap data are noisy, the resulting animation is often inaccurate and unrealistic without elaborate manual processing of the data. In this paper, we will discuss practical issues for MoCap driven character animation, particularly when using commercial toolkits. We highlight open topics in this field for future research. MoCap animations created in this project will be demonstrated at the conference.
