Footskate Cleanup for Motion Capture Editing

Many motion capture editing operations result in the feet of the character moving when they ought to remain planted. We present a simple, efficient algorithm for removing this footskate.

Video from our 2002 paper “Footskate cleanup for motion capture editing”. This work was published at the Symposium on Computer Animation.

Motion Graphs

We present a method for controlling motion capture data without sacrificing motion quality. Given a database of motion, we automatically construct seamless transitions to form a directed graph we call a motion graph. A user can then extract motions that meet a set of constraints. Our framework is applied to the particular problem of directing locomotion down arbitrary paths.

There is an older, low-res version using some ancient Codec (avi), which did convert to mp4 and is on YouTube.
