Part 2: Motion data animation

--- H-Anim separator bar ---

This document specifies the method of motion capture animation using H-Anim humanoid models. Each humanoid model consists of an articulated character with specified joints and motion capture data. As specified in ISO/IEC 19774-1:2019, each character consists of joints and segments in a hierarchical structure.

This document includes the following:

  1. Concepts of motion capture as related to humanoid animation,
  2. Concepts of motion capture data definition,
  3. Definition of motion parameters and motion-capture animation data for transferring or exchanging motion between different humanoid character models,
  4. Mapping the structure of motion capture data to the structure of H-Anim objects,
  5. H-Anim motion capture animation using interpolators,
  6. H-Anim motion definition using H-Anim Motion objects, and
  7. A method for generating and specifying an H-Anim motion capture animation

This document specifies a standard technique for exchanging humanoid animation using motion capture. It does not mandate using any specific run-time system to render the H-Anim characters or animations.
