5. 00:03:29

   have to answer in under two minutes and we'll count how many they got and see who the winner is today our guest is actually I'm kind of tired of brick mr. Huckabee give me some trains and here's our guest mr. Eric Lake hey Ike how you doing doing good what would you like for your background I would like a dragon all right you ready for quantum questions yes how many do you think you're gonna get I have no clue all right please put two minutes on the clock and go what are the benefits of motion capture well the main major benefit for motion capture is a fact that obviously makes animation pipeline a lot easier what are the major motion

6. 00:04:20

   capture methods mechanical optical and that's all I can think about top of my head which method of motion capture do we use we use optical why do we use optical because it is more accurate than other systems what's the difference if you motion capture and performance capture motion capture is more so just regular day to day to day like body capture where performance capture is more so having the actor giving a performance where say examples of motion capture is I need you to a walk I need you to run vice-versa what types of motions can be captured anything you think of how much space does the motion capture shoot take up

7. 00:05:10

   depending on for us it can be 30 by 30 or more depending on what we're shooting for what is real-time visualization during a motion capture session real-time is literally just having everything working in real-time almost as if like say VR but everything is presented right in front of you like through either a camera or through a monitor so even a virtual world where it basically hasn't been as access of you running into that world what's the capture speed of a typical optical motion capture system normally runs out 120 Hertz but depending on what your system is and what the camera were you we use usually I think it's 60 frames per seconds or 30 frames but

8. 00:05:58

   depending equipment can always change because usually it's around 30 6120 how many actors can be tracked at a time Oh depending on the volume it can be 5 to 50 what thank you very much an awesome job I actually learned about motion capture let's see how you did well that was a heck of her performance mr. Eric link goes on the board with 9 questions and they were all serious no joke ones so that is pretty spectacular you know what I'm tired of trains give me a dragon - all right over to Alexis with subconscious hello everyone and welcome to another edition of subconscious
