Summary
Swiss professional freeride skier Nicolas Vuignier approached Artanim to create short 3D animations of freestyle ski jumps.
For the project, Artanim spent a day in Crans-Montana capturing Nicolas on the slopes using an Xsens inertial motion capture suit. His body was also 3D scanned to create a digital representation of the skier.
The captured motion and 3D scan were then combined to animate the virtual skier and reproduce his freestyle movements in 3D.
