A set of three figurines reconstructed from motion capture data of a baseball swing. A cool experiment in collaboration with [ZenoLink](http://zenolink.com/)!
Modeled with an OpenSCAD script by placing a sphere at the coordinates of each joint and connecting nodes with the [`hull`](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Transformations#hull) command to form the limbs and torso. The sweep of the bat in the third model is formed by the `union` of the hull of each consecutive pair of bat positions. I think it's a fairly successful way to make a static visualization of an object's motion.
Next step might be to replace the simple stick figure with some other character model rigged with the same data.
