We have motion captured the animation for several major game publishers including SEGA, Codemasters and Atari. Games we have produced 3D animation for include World Snooker Championship (2004, 2005, 2006), Driver: Parallel Lines (2006), GTR (2005) & GTR2 (2006).

World Championship Snooker had over 1000 individual shots motion captured by Simula.

One of the many Driver: Parallel Lines cinematic shots.

We have also worked on adverts including this Baconman advert for Danish Bacon, which has been downloaded more than 3 million times. Another one of our specialities is motion capture for rapid pre-visualisations.

St. Martins, London use our system in collaborative research.

Our highly skilled technical staff are on board to supervise the use of our fourteen camera Vicon V8i Mcam2 Optical Motion Capture Suite. Many people use the suite including students, researchers and participants in community projects.
