Motion Capture & Animation
We used the Optitrack system for capturing the choreography. I wrote a custom Maya tool to transfer the motion to control rigs. With a lot of cleanup and simulation, we were able to get a good dance animation in a relatively short time.
Tech Anim &
Simulation
I used Lattice Deformer, Wrap Deformer, Josh Sobel's Anim Polish for sculpting geos per shot.
For Cloth simulation, I created separate sim rigs with the nCloth setup. I finished the animation using clean & fast anim rigs, then I replaced those anim rigs with sim rigs. Detailed beauty mesh is wrapped onto low poly cloth mesh.
