Introduction

This project implements motion graphs. A technique for human motion synthesis from motion capture data. It is developed using OpenGL Core, and uses the CMU mocap data.

Controls and shortcuts

• camera: hold left mouse button
• move: W, A, S, D.
• fly up, down: E, Q.
• hide GUI: U.
• show pointcloud: C.
• play animation: space bar.

How to build and run

The code is derived from the LearnOpenGL repository, and share much of the basic structure. Use Linux for better performance.

Mac OS X

Building on Mac OS X is fairly simple:

brew install cmake assimp glm glfw glew
cd MotionGraphs
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../.
make -j8

Run the executable:

./bin/main/main

Linux (Ubuntu, also works under WSLg)

Install, if you haven't already, CMake, Git, and GCC as root:

sudo apt-get install g++ cmake git

And then get the required packages:

sudo apt-get install libsoil-dev libglm-dev libassimp-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev  libxi-dev libxxf86vm-dev

Create the build directory inside the project and navigate to it:

cd MotionGraphs/
mkdir build
cd build/

Run CMake and compile:

cmake ..
make

Finally:

./main

Windows

Currently, windows is not fully supported. However, an early demo version can be accessed with Visual Studio 17. Change branch to dev-vs to access the working VS solution:

git checkout dev-vs

To setup the VS solution, add the following in project properties:

• (Project Master Settings > VC++ Directories)

.\includes\

• (C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories)

.\includes\
.\includes\learnopengl

• (C/C++ -> Preprocess Definitions):

GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE
