On this page are listed some generic services that I can provide. Hybrid services, or development services beyond those listed here are completely viable. Feel free to contact me if you have any ideas as to a service you think I might be able to provide you.
Services available from FIE fall into different categories. They can be traditional production services or cloud based vitual services, or anything inbetween. The major service offerings are listed on this page. However custom services are also a possiblity.
I have worked with some of the most respected motion capture facilities in LA. I have also run my own sessions on Vicon hardware as well as on experimental and proprietary systems.
I have worked with mocap talent and directors on many occasions. If you need technical supervision and planning for mocap, or you simply need someone to direct a mocap session, I am experienced and know what I am doing.
I can keep your sessions moving in a cost effective manner, and make sure you get what you need from them. It simply saves money in the long run to have mocap done right.
These services are usually dealt with in terms of a day rate.
Once the sessions are done and the data is cleaned, there is still that pesky matter of getting it into your production in a way that your animators are comfortable with and can work with. This is actually a rather large and unsolved problem in the general 3d market. There are some commercial packages that claim to make it easy. However, ask your average animator if they enjoy working with mocap data and you'll soon find two things. Firstly, there is not much authoritative mocap experience out there. Second, the experience that is out there, is generally not happy experience.
Simply put: I have solved many of these problems already. I have tools and technology that make animators happy to work with mocap. They are production proven and robust.
This technology base, which continues to expand, is available via a service contract. In the future it may become available as a simple software license.
Custom pipeline development can take many forms. It can be accomplished via service contract, day rate, software licensing or via other arrangments that may make sense given the specific requirments of any given development task.
Remeber, services are not limited to those listed above. Contact me if you are looking for something else, or wish to clarify anything written above.
