Animazoo Hardware and Software Configuration Flow Charts
The following downloads are flowcharts identifying the various and most used Animazoo hardware and software configurations.
Chart 1 – Basic set-up, most accurate Joint angles no calibration of hardware or software necessary
Chart 2 – When accurate Joint Position need to be calculated in addition to accurate measured angles (for accurate measured joint angles, joint positions are NOT needed)
Chart 3 – When the position of the subject’s Root Joint in the Global Coordinate system is needed
Chart 4 – When both Raw and Fused data need to be recorded in Sync (as well as a TTL chart)
Chart 5 – Multiple graph views while the Raw and Fused data is being recorded in Sync.
Chart 6 – When the hardware is being used in a different location from where it is being controlled (via the Internet)
Chart 7 – Various junctures where third party software drivers can be used (locally, via LAN and/or the Internet). Also post-production data converters charted
IKinema Action - Retargeting from Animazoo Mocap Data
In this tutorial we show how to use IKinema Action to retarget from Animazoo Mocap Data. The target avatar can have different proportions and size to the source Animazoo data. Demo scripts and scenes are available here:http://bit.ly/MBgjLw
IKinema Action - Retargeting and editing of Animazoo Mocap Data
In this tutorial we show how to use IKinema Action to retarget from Animazoo Mocap. We also show how to apply and use IKinema Action scripts to automatically create a rig that can be used to edit and customize mocap during retargeting. The target avatar can have different proportions and size to the source Animazoo data. Demo scripts and scenes are available here:http://bit.ly/MBgjLw

- Retarget partial body components and combine source animation data to a single target
- Customize pose, combine with animation and constraints - retarget to rig
- Drive hair or body parts with physics engines and retargeting, and retarget to specific bones
- Apply retargeting to many characters
Rigging:
- Efficiently build a full featured rig directly on top of any model or skeleton structure
- Modify and customize rig during animation
- Apply StretchIK to any bone and add to rig
- Comine rigging and retargeting for increased productivity
- Apply MEL SDK for quick automated rigging processes
