Motion Capture (MoCap) is the recorded and collected data of movement that will be added to a 3D virtual character. It's most common usage is to capture dangerous motions, dancing, and fighting. It is also used to capture a character's motion around a background, or an animal's motion around its environment. MoCap is frequently used to create impossible motions such as flying or crawling up the side of a building.
