Motion Capture Data

Two libraries have been custom developed for feature film animations, video games, and equine biomechanics gait analysis. They may be purchased as whole, or you may mix and match any movements that you wish:

1) Tread-Mill

This is a complete horse gait analysis package for movements on a tread-mill including:

• Standing Still (can be used for"skinning" process in animation packages)
• Walk
• Trot
• Canter
• Gallop

Each gait such as walk, trot, or canter has a different leg pattern of movements, so it is not possible to directly blend (in animation terms) a walk into a trot for example. For this reason we also include all accelerating and decelerating transitions needed to create any sequence.

• Standing to Walk
• Walk to Trot
• Trot to Canter
• Canter to Trot
• Trot to Walk
• Walk to Static

A more detailed break down can be found here.

This library may be used for animations, general equine biomechanics, or veterinary studies. The data is available in 2 variations:

1. Skeletal (FBX, BVH, HTR)
2. Optical Motion Capture Data (FBX, C3D, TRC)

Please specify which format you would like when ordering this library.

2) Freestyle

The Freestyle library is a little bit special. It is a collection of stunt horse movements recorded for the film that are incredibly unique. To our knowledge we are the only ones that have recorded this kind of data and we encourage you to take a look at the sample animations - you wont be disappointed.

The following data has been processed and available in the formats:

1. Skeletal (FBX, BVH, HTR)
2. Optical Motion Capture Data (FBX, C3D, TRC)

• Bucking
• Rearing Up and Kicking Fore-Legs (image above)

The following are still being processed and available on a first come first served priority.

• Turn 160
• Turn 360
• Bounce
• Canter Banking Left Turn
• Foot Scratching
• Half Hups
• Twitchy
• Walking Backwards
