For my final project I want to motion capture hair. My self defined goal to capture (for now is just my) hair and movement in an actually experimental way. This is a combination of my other two projects and an attempt at pushing my experience with experimental capture. I don’t want to capture things in with the utmost degree of reality as I tried to with my hair clump scans but I also want a sort of immediate visual recognition.
At the moment I’m hoping to do a sort of photogrammetry video/ volumetric capture of my hair as I move or dance through a space and then key out anything that is not (for example) red in all of the textures. I’ve been looking into possibly using agisoft metashape to do the photogrammetry with and ffmpeg to process image textures with. To be honest, I’m not sure exactly how the technical pipeline will work.
– I’m not concerned with reality, hair simulation, etc., I am a little concerned/interested in how the subject of hair or movement may affect my exploration. I also don’t foresee the ability to be super expansive.
– Alternatively I want to stick motion capture reflective tape pieces onto my hair and use the ideate motion capture studio to get data.
