#Motion Capture
Metrolight was using the Superflou (sp?) system, out if Italy, which uses
infrared camera data, we found that the capturing technique was good, but the
main problem was the software that processed the motion data. It became a
really slow and tedious process. For some reason, the software had problems
compiling all the nodes attached to a person at one time (partial node
compiling worked). When we finally had some data, it was very good. In fact
it was used in the Herby Hancock video as well as a proof of concept project we
just completed. Unfortunately, time is a factor, and the Superflou system did
not meet our time constraints. We are currently looking at other motion
capture technology. If we find one that works well thoughout the process, I
will let you know.
I have been working on motion capture for a project and would be more than
happy to share what I have found. I also have a list on everyone who deals
with motion capture technology in a text file if anyone would like it.
