Very interesting Jon!

I can see Muvizu HQ turning into a dance studio!

Oh by the way I am an awesome dancer, cast or no cast.

I love the Kinect idea and there's no reason that it couldn't be hooked up to Muvizu characters and, with a bit of work, used to record animations.]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 12:40:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1061-using-the-kinect-as-a-cheap-motion-capture-system.aspx Message from Dreeko claireq wrote:

I imagine it would be a great tool to get a general animation in place that could be tweaked with keyframes for exaggeration and a more cartoony quality.

keyframed animation will always live on like stop motion. Motion capture is pretty cool but it doesn't really complement certain project styles. Look at Pixar, I bet they have access to the best mocap system around but they still key frame 90% of their animations in their films.]]> Fri, 20 May 2011 12:13:39 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1061-using-the-kinect-as-a-cheap-motion-capture-system.aspx Message from KerryK Dreeko wrote:

Epic and Microsoft have a very solid partnership, so that's definitely a possibility.

Its shows how u can use the kinect as a cheap mocap system on your pc

Hopefully epic will incorporate the kinect into the unreal engine one day.
It Would be very cool using this in Muvizu.]]> Thu, 19 May 2011 22:01:22 GMT
