At Autodesk Univ. in San Francisco last week I saw the people from Diaquest capturing live video, frame by frame, converting the frames to Targa files, and using the Targa file sequence as a material in a 3D studio animation. They were using Video Post and .bat files with Diaquest software commands to digitize each frame of video. We have an Alix animation controller from Videomedia. Does anybody know a way to use the Alix to do this type of "rotoscoping?" Many of you in this forum recommended the Alix to us, so if you have any hints or suggestions, we'd be glad to hear them!
