Bodies in Motion This link opens in a new window
Library of dynamic figure reference for artists featuring both photographic and 3d resources. Includes facial expressions library, community artwork, and collection of Eadweard Muybridge plates.
Photography is shot as sequences of crisp high-resolution stills in the tradition of Eadweard Muybridge. 3d scans are captured using a state-of-the-art camera array that freezes dynamic poses from 120 camera angles simultaneously and then creates a full 3d model from the result. Content is not licensed for reference use for commercial artwork.
