Star Citizen / Squadron 42
Motion capture focus on the daily aspects such as walking or combat, and is separate from performance capture, which focuses on an actor performance and which aims to get the subtlety of a performance or emotion out. Both are in service of the experience and the immersion of game.
Motion capure makes the animation pipeline a lot easier. Star Citizen uses optical motion capture as it is more accurate.
Part of the motion capture was recorded almost non-stop from end of March 2015 through early July 2015. More shooting was done in 2023.
Star Citizen has community members that are hard of hearing or deaf so CIG engaged a community member to develop a serie of emotes for American Sign Language so that those members of the community who are hearing impaired can interact and roleplay.
License
CIG has developed a new technology system with partners Clear Angle Studios, DI4D and TexturingXYZ that other companies license to other developers, but instead of offering a third-party solution, CIG integrates it directly into Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
