Character model animation using stored recordings of player movement interface data

摘要

Technologies are generally described for providing full-motion animation-as-a-service. In some examples, short motion-capture segments may be captured from user motion user interface devices and stored in a database. When a full-motion animation is desired, a start pose and a target pose may be provided, and a multiple-path, multiple-iteration search through the database may be used to assemble the full-motion animation. Motion retargeting may be used to further refine the assembled hill-motion animation.

1. A system to provide motion data, the system comprising:
a cloud-based computing device comprising:
a communication module coupled to the cloud-based computing device and configured to receive captured motions of a game participant from a capture device;a module configured to receive gaming data that corresponds to a game segment during which the motions of the game participant were captured;a database configured to store data, wherein the stored data includes the motions and gaming data that corresponds to the game segment during which the motions of the game participant were captured; anda processor configured to execute an animation-as-a-service (AaaS) application, the AaaS application configured to:
receive a query to search the database for a motion;search the database to identify one or more sequences of the motion that corresponds to the query;in response to finding the motion that corresponds to the query in the database, assemble the one or more sequences to provide the motion; andin response to not finding the motion that corresponds to the query in the database, provide an incentive to the game participant to perform the motion.
