Zotto (WIP)
Zotto is an immersive multigenerational folktale story about three women's relationship to each other and Denver's history of Japanese internment during World War II. It's a story about our histories, understanding generational trauma, and our agency. I'm capturing the production via photogrammetry, mocap/videogrammetry, and preserving it in mixed reality.
The capture took ~3 hours with over 4,000 photos using an android phone and while not under perfect conditions, the scans were cleaned up manually or used as reference for environmental art. The goal is low poly and limited transparency and shader complexity for mobile hardware while still maintaining realistic detail.
I created my own low budget mocap solution for bedroom mocap and used it to produce over 2 hours worth of data to recreate the performances and used inverse kinematics and scripting to breathe some procedural movement and reactivity to those performances.
