Wow, that's alot of info. I found out who's producing the software but I didn't know anywhere near that amount about it. I take it they have a 12 sensor Flock in-house. Are they going to establish an in-house service to offer 3DS based companies the ability to use motion capture at their facilities? I was "REALLY" surprised when I heard about it. No-one has tried it before because of the unbelievably intense amount of data delivered by a device like the Flock. About a year ago when we talked to them about the possibility of using the unit with a PC, they laughed and said we would do better to stick with the workstations. We've played with the hardware before and have a number of motion files here, (Running/Walking/Karate/etc.) but I can't wait to see the software. I'm extremely interested in how one can deform and control meshes in 3DS through IPAS. IK is intense. IS it ready to be released? Paul P.S. – Why aren't you going to Siggraph?
