Capturing motion for FIFA 2013 (video)

The player is not intimidated: he goes from one end of the lawn to another. Dribbles a, driba two, three dribbles. A sight to see on any football field in the world. But no, this scene could very well be passing on your television screen. Live game? Not again, is the FIFA official title of the sport's governing body makes a lot of time to license to Electronic Arts.

In a story that began on Saturday during the local edition of the Globe Sport for Sao Paulo, one of the journalists at the headquarters of the program was to show how the EA is produced the so-called FIFA. The next year, FIFA 2012, is ready to hit the stores. The Canadian designers are already looking games in FIFA 2013, however distant that its release appears to be.

Watch below.



To capture the movements of the players need a large studio with synthetic turf to protect the network and not the angry crowd of balls, but a vast installation of cameras. The motion capture works only because the models of movement, human beings that perform the moves for the computer to transform them into 3D images, wear a black outfit studded with white dots.

The head of FIFA 13 promised more challenges for the title that comes only next year. Players will have to be better placed to not lose the ball, for example.

FIFA 2013 should be more reliable. The main contractors of the teams are going through all sessions of 3D studios around the world. After treatment in Photoshop, capturing the subject's face is ready to be used within the game. And with that, if FIFA seems more and more like what you see in the fields - either live in the flesh, whether on television.
