SLEEP TO DREAM


Made with Unreal Engine, Daz3D, AutoDesk MotionBuilder, and OptiTrack Motion Capture System. An alien avatar’s dream of escaping her homeland. 

I set up the motion capture system to direct my performers in motion capture suits. I retargeted the Daz3D Avatar bones in MotionBuilder and cleaned up the animation to bring into my scenes in Unreal Engine.

All 3D aspects of the project were completed by Jessie Zhai
Motion Capture Performance by Yilin Ye and Beatrice Mai
