A comparison betwen different animation techniques in order to show emotions without facial animation

Abstract

Nowadays 3D animation is not only for important film or video game studios, more and more sectors such as music or advertising use this technique. In this field there are opposing views about using Motion Capture (MOCAP) to animate non-human characters. This project focuses on this topic by making a comparison between this technique and keyframe animation. Two characters, only one with human shape, are going to be modeled, rigged and animated with the purpose to express emotions without facial animation.
