Motion capture can make the animation process much simpler and cost-effective - especially when trying to recreate character animation that is realistic. If you have interaction between multiple 3D characters, or characters engaged in sports activities, for instance, mocap can be used to save significant costs and time. But even simple, ambient animation - such as a character standing around doing nothing, is much easier (and more realistic) when captured by mocap.

One of our clients recently captured 100 animation cycles during a single day of recording with an OptiTrack PrimeX system. They estimate it would have taken one animator 6 weeks to accomplish the same amount of work.
