The Motion Catcher is actually a horse. Former World of Warcraft developer creates a new horse riding game

Developers who have participated in "Jedi" and "World of Warcraft" have teamed up to create a multiplayer open-world horseback riding management game called "Equinox: Homecoming".Since "Four-legged Partner" is at the heart of the game experience, the team decided to perform motion capture for all horse movements.

“The process is actually the same as human motion capture,” studio director Craig Morrison explained to GamesRadar+. “We put on special brakes for horses with white markings. I remember that outfit was customized in Ireland.”

“End of the end, our actors and actresses were wearing motion capture suits with camera helmets, while horse actors also wore costumes with markings, even with markings on their ears,” added CEO Colin Cragg. “All devices have to make sure that horses and humans’ motion capture systems are fully compatible.”

After multiple rounds of auditions, the team finally chose the extremely docile and patient mare Bella - it really did not cause any trouble during the shooting.The problem lies in almost all other links.

“Another difficulty with horse mobility is that we have to build a dedicated venue in a certain Canadian barn,” Morrison continued. “The venue should be large enough to allow horses to complete jogging, running and galloping, while meeting the capture needs.”

Cragg revealed that they installed about 60 cameras around the periphery of the building, but strong winds often cause building vibrations, causing all cameras to lose synchronization.For this reason, the team had to install brackets inside the building to resist the vibration caused by the weather.

Even more tricky, these unexpected delays have significantly delayed the filming season, and Cragg said the team ended up only winning three and a half weeks with the actor and Bella in the "outdoor riding field."“As Canadian winter temperatures plummeted to minus 28 degrees Celsius, we had to move in industrial air heaters to make sure the performers don’t shivering in the camera.”
