Is it possible to capture 2 character in one capture take?

Hi Gigi

Yes, but you have to have 12+ cameras to do this, best with 18..

We've been doing an awful lot of this - a full film's worth. 12 cameras produces decent-quality animation with very few drop-outs. 18 might well be amazing, but 12 certainly does the job.

Sorry for the delay I been off the grid for a while. This is great, we have a 24 camera setup so we should be fine. Anything we should know in terms of setup, what need to be done. Can't see any onto on this. Do we just need to places 2 actor on the stage.. Guessing it's more complicated than that
Thanks for your help

The most inportant thing is to have the waist marker on the back of the actors to be on different sides, this is the one that differentiates each of the skeletons to Arena

Thanks for the help, we bill be trying this out in the next coming week.

We actually got decent results with 8 cameras. It freaks out when the actors get too close, but at normal conversation distance or more, the capture was pretty good.
