kinect to motionbuilder proof of concept

By December 23, 2010One Comment

Since the release of the xbox Kinect, one of the things I am sure that 3D people and animators alike have been anticipating is a motion capture hack using the xbox Kinect – well here is a demonstration of that where youtuber Hoetan3 wrote a program that creates MotionBuilder BVH files obtained from 3D coordinates using the open source Kinect drivers OpenNI Kinect to interface with the xbox Kinect… I must say this excites me an all sorts of ways, some you don’t even want to know about.

    Cool

    Is there an auto-transfer from Motion Builder to .FBX to biped, so that biped gets re-structured automatically to fit the proportions of the person doing the kinect capture? Or CAT?
