My name is Raul Raul, I'm excited to submit my entry for the iPiSoft Motion Capture Contest for the second time.

The animation is 90% done with motion capture. I used the rigify and NLA features from blender in order to be able to modify the existing animations and get around limitations. Since I have an express license I can only use one depth sensor. I combined some animation in blender and the results were better than expected, IPISoft Studio provides pretty good results with just one sensor.

Description from the Author:

About 90% of all moving characters were recorded using the iPi Recorder and exported with the iPi Mocap Studio.
As always, a small number of improvements to the raw mocap files have been made inside Source Filmmaker, such as head and finger posing or adjusting a character's hand position to fit interactions with various objects better.
Multiple other software were used for the making of this film, such as:
- Blender, for porting and texturing a few key 3D objects
- Serious Editor, to access the majority of the character models
- Vegas Pro, for the editing of the movie.

Description from the author:

All movements were recorded with two “Xbox One Kinect” sensors. I used a “Playstation move controller” to record head movements. The donkey's face was animated in "Moho" and applied as a texture. The animation was rendered using “Blender”.

All body motions were captured using a single xbox one kinect along with joycon controllers for capturing the head and hand motions. Avatary was then used for the facial animation.
