Ross Richards | Motion Capture Animator

I am a Motion Capture Animator with a First-Class Honors degree in Games Design. I also have experience working in the games industry at Eurocom Developments.

I have lots of experience working with motion capture animation, from running the 8 camera Vicon system at Staffordshire University, to organising and running the 18 camera system at Eurocom.

I am familiar with motion capture processing and industry pipelines. I have experience with software such as 3DS Max, Maya, MotionBuilder and iQ.

I am also experienced in rigging and skinning characters, as well as animation implementation into the Unreal engine. This includes creating fully playable characters in UDK using my own animations, and using UnrealScript to create custom mechanics, optimise character playability and animation blending.

I have incredible determination and ambition and am constantly looking to further improve, adapt and develop my skills.
