Motion Capture Punch Animation

Mocap punch animation after cleanup

For this project I cleaned up a punch animation that was done in motion capture. The character throws 2 small punches and then winds-up for a big punch.

For the beginning process, I had to fix the hands which were bended forwards. They were also jittering, so I had go back and fix it. I also got the character in a fighting stance since he was originally standing straight.

I tried to apply the 12 principles of animation with squash and stretch before the character gets into the fighting stance as well as emphasis on the big punch. I had trouble with the legs which were sliding throughout the animation. I had trouble with the graph editor trying to fix it.
