About the Motion Capture style

Visual characteristics

Motion capture visualization in top-tier performance-capture tradition. Digital character with nuanced human performance: FACS-based facial action units, 150+ marker solve for body motion. Subtle micro-expressions translated to non-human blue skin. Behind-the-scenes aesthetic with visible reflective markers, gray motion capture suit, reference camera grid. Celebrating the art of digital performance translation.

Color palette

Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.

  • #1e90ff
  • #c0c0c0
  • #808080

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Motion Capture look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Motion Capture still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

  3. Step 3: Review before video

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
