Motion-captured dance with hair simulations.

Testing out various tools, including AI Rotoscoping, Video Motion Capture, Rigging / Animation, and Hair Simulations.

Dance performance by my friend, Storm. Video brought into RunwayML for AI rotoscoping to isolate Storm’s movements, new footage was then brought into Plask to translate the movement from the 2D video and generate a 3D rigged animation. This generated dance animation was then imported into Blender and applied to a human model covered in long hair. This new dancing model was then rendered with physics simulations to achieve accurate hair movement during the dance. Finally animated a camera around and added some effects in After Effects.
