Martin Fir<\/strong><\/p>\n Ga\u0161per Merkun<\/strong><\/p>\n A five-day hands-on workshop where participants will learn how to capture human movement and transform it into 3D animation using free, accessible markerless motion capture tools.<\/p>\n Working in small groups, participants will develop, perform, and record short scenes using ordinary cameras, without the need for specialized motion capture suits, markers, or expensive equipment. The workshop will guide them through the process of setting up a simple motion capture system, recording performances, processing captured movement, and transferring it onto 3D characters using Blender 3D<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Because markerless motion capture relies entirely on bodily expression, the first two days will focus heavily on performance. The acting tutor will work directly with groups to help bring their scenes to life, guiding them on physical storytelling, body language, and expressive movement so their performances translate powerfully into the 3D pipeline.<\/p>\n The focus will be on performance, creative experimentation, and collaborative storytelling rather than traditional keyframed animation. Participants will also be introduced to basic motion capture cleanup, character rigging, and scene setup. By the end of the workshop, each group will have produced a short 3D animated scene driven by their own performances, gaining the practical knowledge to continue exploring markerless motion capture independently.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Martin Fir <\/strong>is a 3D generalist and technical artist based in Slovenia, working across film, games, and interactive media. He specializes in real-time graphics, VFX, Character design, procedural workflows, and custom tool development. He uses Blender, Nuke, Unity, Unreal Engine, Substance 3D, Photoshop, and Python to create assets, tools, and visual systems that bridge artistic vision with technical execution.<\/p>\n Ga\u0161per Markun<\/strong> is an actor, animator, and film educator. He has built an extensive acting portfolio of film and television productions, performances in theatre as well as voice acting and dubbing. Alongside his acting career, he has been active since 2017 as a mentor and educator with the Slon Animation School, leading animation workshops for children and young people and introducing them to the creative processes and techniques of animated filmmaking. His work brings together acting, movement, visual storytelling, and animation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Animation Hub is organised by Slovene Animated Film Association (DSAF) and University of Nova Gorica School of Arts in partnership with Animateka International Animated Film Festival.
