Here is an updated BVH file with tab keys removed, it should work better for Mac.

Thanks, I can open this file in Mac Cinema 4D, but I can't seem to get it to load into Poser (on a Mac), like you used in your sample videos. When I go to import it the app just spins and never loads. Any ideas?

Thanks--Tim

Thanks Jim for these samples! I'm already signed up for your newsletter, anxiously awaiting the release of your full mocap solution.

I do have a few questions though...

1.- Will it be possible to do more than 1 person capture when the solution is released? If not, is that being planned for the future?

2.- will it support tracking of a prop?

3.- Will it support face tracking while doing full body mocap?

4.- how many markers will it track?

I know that your product will sell for less than 5k, so perhaps a lot of these features will not be supported, but I'm curious anyway...


thanks!

Hello:

- We will only track one person upon the initial software release, but we do plan to support multiple actors in future releases.

- Yes, you will be able to track a prop, or even a camera to define a separate view port

- We will not have face tracking right away, but we may in the future.

- You can track hundreds of markers in a camera array, but it is really limited by how many it can distinguish optically. Basically, we aren't marker limited.

This looks wonderful..
I have tried to import it into Motionbuilder with little luck, are you (do you) have plans to include the FBX file format as output?

Any possibility of early beta testers or pre-purchase, maybe pricing?

Jim:

I second this request for possible beta testers... I'd be interested in doing this..

thanks!

Hello:

We will have a MotionBuilder plug in, for real time importing of our data.

There is a litmited Beta test group at this point, but we might expand it at some point closer to release.

The Flex V100 camera will be released in the near future, along with our Point Cloud software. This camera can be used with the Mocap software and should give a good idea of the pricing for the systems. We recommend 6 cameras minimum for full body mocap, but I like 8!
