<t>I am running 24 R1 Cameras and I also had some very long calibration times and poor results when I was working on repositioning my cameras. <br/> <br/> I think Doug's advice is spot on here. <br/> <br/> I had to reposition my cameras so they had more overlap. Now, when I'm first setting up a volu...

<t>Awesome Don!<br/> <br/> Let me know if you want any help with settings or anything like that. Morgan and I also came up with a couple of python scripts for selecting prime lenses that you can map to the buttons in the plugin.<br/> <br/> Have fun man... Once you shoot with a virtual cam, you won't...

<t>I'm a little late to the party on this one, but just in case anyone else who doesn't have the Optihub(like me) and does need to do audio sync, it's a great idea to have a clapper/slate around for your expression sessions. <br/> <br/> This way you can just put it in front of the camera you are usi...

<t>Hi Everyone,<br/> <br/> Justin Denton, from Halon, here. We had an absolute blast showing off the Insight VCS rigs at SIGGRAPH about a week ago. We put together a fun little 1 minute demo scene in MotionBuilder and had a great time showing it off to the audience. I think one of the best parts was...

<t>Hi Andre,<br/> <br/> Forgot to mention to you that I have 12 cameras in this volume, so even though its small, I can get away with lots of the cheats I mentioned earlier.<br/> <br/> We do more camera capture (Rigid Body) than we do actor capture so I have two areas taped off in two different colo...

<t>Hi Andre,<br/> <br/> I have also had to deal with creating a volume in a relatively small space, 10x16x8ft and have the R1 cameras with the standard lenses.<br/> <br/> We have played around with lots of different configurations, and I've done a few unusual things to help make up for the limits in...

Seth,

Your giving away all my secrets!!!

Nomad, the setup Seth mentions above works very well. It does require a few setup tricks, so if you decide to go this route, let me know and I'll be more than happy to help get ya going.

Cheers,

It looks like NaturalPoint has posted the Insight VCS Sneak Peak video on youtube as well!

<t>Hi Davve,<br/> <br/> I was the guy doing the demo in that video. At our offices, we have and do capture both character and camera in the same volume. It's so much fun to get up and physically do a camera move instead of keyframing it!<br/> <br/> As for the walking from one capture volume to anoth...

I was able to take this exact same setup and run the plugin just fine, botht he skeletal an...
