Motion Capture is a relatively new procedure that provides a more realistic alternative to the traditional process of animating a 3D computer-generated character. Depending on the goal (and how well the data translates to the CG character), anywhere from trivial to massive re-animating over top of the mocap data can be required. Motion Capture refers to capturing the movement of the body overall (head, torso, arms, hands, legs and feet), while Performance Capture refers to capturing the facial performance. For it to work, a performer wears a skin-tight suit with tracking points on it: initially this was done with reflective balls, but technology is now advanced enough that high-contrast black-and-white circles can be tracked with a camera array,* in the picture above, compare the ball on Bill Nighy's shoulder with the black-and-white headband although folks tend to talk about the nylon-suit-with-golf-balls imagery since that's a much funnier thing to imagine George Clooney doing. The dots are placed on articulation and movement points (elbows, feet, knees, head, chest, etc), and an array of cameras track their position and movement. This data can then be applied to one or more CG characters (for example, in The Lord of the Rings entire armies were animated this way). Performance Capture is a similar version that adds small dots applied to an actor's face, allowing a camera (such as one on a boom arm mounted to a cap) to record data on the facial muscles. Performance Capture exists because Motion Capture typically doesn't record facial data, nor fingers and toes. Before this the face was animated traditionally, and extra details not on the actor also need to be simulated or animated: Bill Nighy's tentacles didn't animate themselves! Motion and Performance Capture have several advantages over traditional animation, namely that it's less time-consuming to give characters incredibly lifelike movement that would take an animator weeks to do. Its limitations are the sheer amount of animation data created (if you need to adjust an arm, you may have to completely redo its animation), and it doesn't quite look right in more cartoony art styles. Rotoscoping is the manual, pre-computer version of this process. Often a domain of the Serkis Folk. Examples |

Nearly caused problems when, during the development of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001), Kojima's son (who had been taken into the studio by his father so he could have company) toddled onto the set, picked up a prop sword and started poking the reflective dots on the motion capture actors' suits with it. | |

The original version of Final Fantasy XIV used motion capture, including the player character's attack animations. One of the major criticisms of the game was battles felt clunky and slow due to the "weight" the animations had behind them plus their animation locks (though this was just one of many problems the game had). After the game was rebooted, the majority of cutscenes used generic animations while the more important main story cutscenes tended to use mocap animations. | |

Jurassic Park did this for some of the dinosaur shots after they decided to go with CGI instead of stop-motion. The puppeteer crew was kept on and essentially did motion capture puppeteering: they made dinosaur armatures connected to servos, which animated the dinosaurs on the computers. This was done to ease the jarringness of transferring to CG for mostly stop motion animators. | |

For Grand Theft Auto IV, MMA fighter Bas Rutten was used as the motion actor for Niko's martial arts. Bas was also given a cameo as himself in one of the in-game TV shows. | |

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007), Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (2009) and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (2011), although Naughty Dog still insists on doing facial animation manually. They are continuing the trend with The Last of Us. | |

World in Conflict (2007) and its expansion Soviet Assault use motion-capture for cutscenes; some raw footage of motion-capture sessions plays over the credits with the final cutscene next to it for comparison. | |

Tigtone is a groundbreaking example of using motion capture for 2D animation, with digitally painted characters whose mouth movements and facial expressions are controlled by motion capture acting. Since the characters don’t move in three dimensions, the face actor for each performance not only wears motion capture dots on their face, but must also sit in a special reclining chair which immobilizes their head so they are always facing straight into the camera positioned above. | |

Foodfight! was among the first, production wise, animation films to use the tech. However, it wasn't exactly the best. It was noted by the Nostalgia Critic that it seemed as if the characters' expressed themselves mostly through awkwardly waving their arms, and it's more akin to watching C-3PO suffer a seizure. Spending ten years in Development Hell meant that it looked kind of dated compared to later films that used motion capture successfully. | |
