FIT MONSTER / MOTION STUDY 02
Make the movement feel natural.
Watch a full loop, then slow down at transitions. This study focuses on motion; characters still use existing models. Future refinement follows the approved character reference.
Drag / one finger to rotate · wheel / pinch to zoom · arrow keys to rotate
Watch the paths of feet, hips and knees first.
Which tools and motion sources did we find?
| Source | What it provides | Use in this study |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube/Muscle & Motion | 3D squat and push-up tutorials | Comparison links only; no original animation extracted or copied. |
| GitHub/Mesh2Motion | CC0 continuous human animation | Push-ups and jumping jacks retargeted to each character. |
| CMU motion-capture database | Human motion capture, 120 Hz raw data | One squat made into a loop; arms adjusted for balance. |
| GitHub/OpenGym3D | Multi-source exercise animation conversion | Uses its MIT conversion code, not non-commercial demonstration videos. |
| Google/MediaPipe | 33 landmarks and estimated 3D positions from video | A candidate for future video-to-motion work; occlusion and ground contact still need correction. |
| TensorFlow/MoveNet | 17 two-dimensional landmarks | Useful for pose tracking, not a ready-to-use 3D animation. |
| HY-Motion/WHAM/GVHMR | Text or video to human motion | Under study: compute, looping and model licenses remain to be addressed. |
What does this version achieve?
These movements sample continuous data with denoising, loop blending and ground-contact corrections. Compare first-version squats and push-ups; that version has no jumping jacks.
This is a motion-study sample, not a finalized lesson. Full coaching review and frame-by-frame video comparison remain incomplete. The captured squat is deep: inspect it from the side and practice only within your control. Jumping jacks involve landing impact.
Kenny uses the existing rig and Barbie an appearance prototype. They do not yet match the approved reference quality. That reference guides future faces, hair, proportions and clothing.
