Motion Capture Studios

I am wonder, strictly a thought process at the moment.

Does anyone know of any motion capture studio, that would specialize(if mocap studio specialize), in Martial Arts??

i had this idea, but, its a useless idea, if i can't get some melee fighting style on to the charaters.

I do, Monster Studios in Atlanta, they did all the LOTR mo-cap but just to warn you. Mocap is far from cheap.

Check out this guys web site, all hand done Martial Arts extraveganza and all hand animated!

His Auto Character Setup 4 is what I am planning on using for all my game development if the Lightwave plugin continues to mature and becomes equal to the Max plugin! This is what he is using to animate all the people in Ref!

hmm, i wonder how Konami and Namco do their mocap stuff, i know for Soul Calibur Namco used, a combination of MoCap Animation and hand (keyframe by keyframe) animation. which produced fanstactic results.

thats the kind of stuff i had in mind, but as you said its not cheap. -_-'
