I'm a computer animator with a first class degree in animation. i am against mo-cap! its killing people like me!




but it does look really cool! i suppose its time to get a new skill!


can't mo-cap do colours? you'd thing the balls on the gun would be diffrent so theres no problems in editing with the computer thinking its an arm

The toys look good. However honestly, I think they are a waste of money.

When I die I want to be half cremated and half buried so that I can have both the effects of being burned to a crisp and eaten by maggots

Very interesting article. That light gun...I know it.

I doubt scrap metal and that gun cost that much and it is important so they can see how the charecters would really hold the gun.

Always nice reading about how you guys make a fine game a really fine game.

Also, any chance of behind the scenes footage with the legendary edition of Halo Reach?

Please?

They did one for Halo 3 so I don't see why they wouldn't do one for Reach, especially considering the statues are handmade while the Halo 3 helmets were produced in a factory.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

Pretty noice props. I'd like to see him make some legit Bungie Spartan III armour. Tell him to step on it, E3 is super close.

That is quite interesting. Thanks for the insight urk!

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

Gee, I wonder where I recognize that particular light gun from...

Anywho, the NES Zapper goes for about $10 alone, SILVERxxWOLF. Scrap metal probably fairly similar.

It gets hot in Mo-cap suits.

Prop looks bad ass though, definitely worth it.

  • 06.02.2010 4:22 PM PDT

I can perfectly well make my own Hell...

I've actually been wondering for at least a few years how I can get a job doing motion capture for studios. How exactly does one get into the field? I would love this guy's job.

My mind wasn't in the gutter until you said it :P

Absolutely awesome, and I nearly choked on my drink when I read the safety note:

"Before we go, we wanna drive the point home - safety first. When you begin any project that could result in serious burns, impalement, or even death, you should consult with adult experts and take any and all precautions necessary to ensure a safe working environment."

O Rly?

Very nice article. Love these!

Loved the article, it's always neat seeing the behind the scenes and the quirky solutions (like the light gun) that you'd never know helped put the game together.

Off topic: When I scrolled down the articles after this piece, they were all related to Halo 2. Caught my eyes, then made them cry :(
