some questions....

Post by Diegolum »

Hello, Im new in the forum ;)

We want to capture dancing people dancing one by one and between 5 /7 minutes each song, can the capture last that long?

What configuration do you recommend for that?

What is the dead line to benefit of the offer or pre-order discount?

What will be the shipping cost to Madrid Spain.


Thank you very much

Best regards

Diego,

What is your exact shipping address?
Shipping cost will also be dependent on the number of cameras, and any accesories that you might purchase.

An 8 camera setup should be able to do that kind of capture. It will depend on the number of cameras and the type of system you are using. The better the computer, and amount of system RAM you have, the longer the take can be. An 8 camera setup should use about 310 MB of ram for an 8 min. capture, although we have tested with takes of that length yet.
What configuration do you recommend for that?
Generally, a 6 camera setup is a good start, however if 8 cameras is within your budget you will appreciate the improved coverage. Also, you might want the following :
  • OptiTrack Motion Capture Suit (s)
  • Motion Capture Marker Sets
  • Camera Mounts
What is the dead line to benefit of the offer or pre-order discount?
The benefit for Preordering, is that we should ship the product, as soon as it is available, where as there may be a waiting list for orders after the 3rd.

Hello Vincent,

Our shipping address:

C/ Jacinto, 56
28280 El Escorial, Madrid
Spain.

"Shipping cost will also be dependent on the number of cameras, and any accesories that you might purchase."

# OptiTrack Motion Capture Suit (8)
# Motion Capture Marker Sets

And one more question :)

Can ARENA� Motion Capture Software, smooth the motion in order to have an very smooth effect like in Motion Builder?

If we use the capture motion data a very slow speed we will have a jumping animation?

thank you for your support
Best Regards

Are you looking for 8 capture suits, and 8 marker sets? or just one of each?

Are you talking about the actor moving slowly, or just dong the playback slowly?

The movement, or jittering of points, is dependent on the ability of the cameras to see the tracking dots, and the accuracy of the calibration. In general, with a good capture, there shouldn't be any 'jittering'

Arena has a smoothing function in post capture editor which smooths marker trajectories with low pass filter. Playing back slow should be ok. What is the 3d application you are using?
