The Digital Vessel: Designing Avatars class considers motion capture as a means of embodiment, expression, and control. Students worked in Cinema 4D to model avatars with blend-shapes that map animations to changes in facial expressions. The filters were compiled in Lens Studio, and then performed and shared publicly on Snap Camera.
