EzMocap

Every indie game developer, studio and animator need good and realistic character animations to take its work to the next level. Searching for specific character animations out of the box from content sites can be time consuming and expensive, not even guaranteed to be successful. I was in this very position during the development of my games. Since I lack the skills of an animator, creating animations manually was out of the table for me. Spending thousand of dollars to buy a motion capture suit was not an option I was willing to take either. Therefore I decided to develop my own motion capture suit: EzMocap

EzMocap is a software suite paired with 15 wireless tracking sensors. The suit consists in body straps, a shirt and shorts.

Since the animations that I was getting out of EzMocap genuinely surprised me, I decided to further develop it into a fully fledged motion capture system. My intent is to give indie developers like me and small game studios that cannot afford expensive mocap suits the possibility and the fun of recording their own animations.

All character animations of Dimeland were created with EzMocap.
