Transform your motion capture with real props that seamlessly integrate into your character's performance and animation workflow.
Add authentic object interaction to every performance with Glycon3D's intelligent prop system
Glycon3D gives you complete flexibility in how you work with props. Import any 3D object and either place it freely in your environment for interaction, or attach it directly to your character's animation skeleton using intelligent hooks.
Place objects anywhere in your scene. Perfect for furniture, stationary items, or things your character interacts with but doesn't hold.
Attach objects to skeleton hooks with precise control over scale, rotation, and position. Perfect for weapons, tools, or anything held in hand.
When you need props that move naturally with your character, skeleton hooks provide the perfect solution. Attach a sword to the right hand, a shield to the left, or a steering wheel positioned exactly where the character's hands should grip it. Set your scale, rotation, and position offsets once, then perform naturally while the prop follows every movement.
The workflow couldn't be simpler: import your prop model, choose how you want to use it, set any necessary offsets, and start performing. When you export your animation data from Glycon3D, you can seamlessly swap in your original high-poly models for final rendering while maintaining all the natural movement and interaction you captured.
Use low-poly versions for motion capture, then swap in your high-detail models for final rendering. Your attachment points, rotations, and movements transfer perfectly, maintaining the authenticity of your captured performance.
There's something magical about holding a real object (even a virtual one) that transforms a performance. Whether you're swinging a sword, stirring coffee, or gripping a steering wheel, your body naturally understands the weight, balance, and interaction points. This translates into more believable animations that would be difficult to achieve through keyframe animation alone.
Pro Tip: Start with simple placeholder props to establish your movements, then refine the attachment points with your final models. This approach helps you focus on the performance first, technical details second.
Watch your character interactions evolve from stiff, disconnected movements to fluid, natural performances. With unlimited takes and real-time feedback, you'll discover subtle details in how characters hold, manipulate, and interact with objects that bring your animations to life.
Stop animating empty hands. Start capturing authentic object interaction.
