  • With the rapid development of 3D animation, MetaHuman is widely used in film production, game development and VR production as a virtual human creation platform.In the animation production of virtual humans, motion capture is usually used.Since different motion capture solutions use different skeletons for motion recording, when the skeleton level of recorded animation data is different from that of MetaHuman, the animation data recorded by motion capture cannot be directly used on MetaHuman. This requires Reorient the skeletons of both.This study explores an efficient skeleton reorientation method that can maintain the accuracy of animation data by reducing the number of bone chains.In the experiment, three skeleton structures, Rokoko, Mixamo and Xsens were used for efficient redirection experiments, to compare and analyze the adaptability of different skeleton structures to the MetaHuman skeleton, and to explore which skeleton structure has the highest compatibility with the MetaHuman skeleton.This research provides an efficient skeleton reorientation idea for the production team of 3D animated video content, which can significantly reduce time costs and improve work efficiency.

  • The development of CG technology throughout the 2000s brought about a significant growth in the animation market. This phenomenon led to an increase in the number of people required by related industries, which led to an increase in the number of related majors in universities. CG application technologies are becoming more common with the advent of YouTube and virtual YouTubers, but high technology is still required for students to get a job. This situation is not easy to include both technological and creative skills in the college animation curriculum. In order to increase students' creativity, we need a lot of production experience, which requires a lot of knowledge and time if we only use tools like Maya and 3D Max. In this paper, We tried to devote more time to storytelling by minimizing the technical process required for production and proceeding with repetitive or difficult processes for content creation using third-party programs. And through the 12-week class, the experimental production process was applied to the process from planning to completion of animation works that students would submit to the advertisement contest.
