[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[ESSALongboarding]

Now that looks fucking awesome make more videos :D

[bl4ckv1rus]

@geek113377 Hmm is ALMOST like:

Maya = BMW X6

Blander = Fiat 500

[kitsune0video]

Can you even rotat the body or kinect lost the motion if you do that?

Mocap with kinect

[truebones]

How did this turn into an app war... ? Go to Truebones (mychannel) to see new iPiSoft Tutorials.

@TheRobin1232:

If you have a great reel, your prospective employer won't care that you used Blender.

[blazraidr]

every autodesk product is crap, because the first time i opened them, i wasnt pro straight away. <----- thats your logic, it doesnt sound right does it?

[StopNation]

When will it be released???!!!@

[nanohawk2]

Cheap Motion Capture

[TH89]

Dude holy crap this is incredible you are a god

[MilkywayM16]

Why are you using HL2 beta skins?

[xxYetterxx]

Totally Awesome!! way to go MS for putting out a consumer level motion capture camera. This is absolutely a game changer for the independent game and film developers. And thanks to the uploader too

[cra0kalo]

Cool iam waiting on my shipment of the KINECT camer oh btw ipi soft your ipi soft program has been cracked I feel really angry paying money when people now are getting it for free!

It's by some team called X-Force and I was told about it by a friend.

[BeefotronX]

This could be a gateway to putting Serkisfolk in indie films.

[cildni]

Mighty impressive. When does this come out?

[nathanthekiller]

Hey guy's, They finally got a beta up. Go to their website ipisoft & go to the wiki section and you'll see it there.

Best of luck!

[XxAssConxX]

Amazing :D Mocap with Kinect would be AWESOME

[tnrnz1]

Useful for Gmod

[ValiskofDarkness]

Kinect: Useful for everything except Xbox.

[phoinx3D]

YEAAAH!!! XD

[TheDonBurroni]

off the hook, Keep it up IPI!

[punk3rd]

[TheLokiFace]

sweet

[xcloudx01]

amazing, i want this

[TickleWorld]

gonna buy a Kinect now :)

[chungzheng]

haha nice ^^

[ampix0]

this is incredible.. I'd buy a connect for this

[RabbitBlade]

amazing

[WeretFilms]

If this worked with $5 webcams instead of a $100 Kinect, It'd be amazing.

[WeretFilms]

@WeretFilms

Wait! IT DOES :D

[oxiigen]

No Linux version?! :(

[inr21sevier]

the holodeck is just one slite step away and all the animation isnt prerecorded to fit it all really real time connections? @mnikonov

[zimtower]

@inr21sevier /watch?v=WDlvn3voblQ

[acrionx]

Whoa! This is so cool! I've always wanted a way to do motion capture. Now I'm suddenly interested in the Xbox Kinect

[geek113377]

/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

So you can wave a character's hand. I want to see some jedi/kung fu before I shell out $1k for this.

[stuckon3d]

@geek113377

check this video out , i did it with their 4 camera system, i dont see why i could not do the same with the kinect.

Iclone4_IPI_combo

[Aelfuu]

This is awesome! I want something like this... if it´s cheap to make then motion capture is available for everybody. Great

[EvilWeevil]

Oh god... I WANT IT NOW

[VinnyJ]

Just needs finger-posing and it'll be perfect.

[bl4ckv1rus]

Imagine this and autodesk products... like Maya and MotionBuilder...a dream coming true!

[geek113377]

@bl4ckv1rus Why pay for autodesk when you can use blender?

[tryptychUK]

Why drive in style in a Ferrari when you can get a Prius?

Do you SERIOUSLY think there is any comparison?

[JamesWhiffinVFX]

@geek113377 because students can get autodesk products free for 13 months, and no one uses blender in the industry

[merkonerko2]

@geek113377 Why use blender which isnt AS good as 3ds max when you could get a trial of 3ds max and get a key :D?

[geek113377]

@merkonerko2 because IT'S A TRIAL!!! And (i think) that the educational (where you can get a key 4 free) version puts a watermark on the image, and doing anything non-educational (like making a movie) with it is against the EULA.

[Slixys]

@geek113377

cuz autodesk software is much more powerful and has many more plugins and integration features with a wider rendering engine support.

[sShaDOhsS]

@geek113377 Well, for students, it is free.

[xalener]

@geek113377 More licensing freedom.

[geek113377]

@xalener umm... have you checked out the liscense on blender? you can do basically whatever you want with it. you can't say that about autodesk STUDENT EDITION.

[xalener]

@geek113377

"you can do BASICALLY whatever you want with it"

Yeah, but with a paid copy of an AD product or Newtek product or what-the-fuck-ever product you can do LITERALLY whatever you want with it.

[Sakotius]

@geek113377

Because some people are trying to creat video games :P

[TheFXGuy]

@geek113377 The only problem is that Blender doesn't like applying animation from BVH files... Works, but not exact in any way.

I hope they implement a way to do it better soon...

[Spyder638]

@geek113377 because blender is a load of shit

[geek113377]

@Spyder638 I beg to differ. look at blenderartists org/forum/forumdisplay php?f=27 and come back for updates every month or so. you can browse the rest of the forum too for some good work. and if only i could send you my folder where i have accumulated lots of really cool blender art over the last year....

[rbneville]

@geek113377 I agree that if you have the time and patience to use blender then yes its is good (and free) but to me the workspace is confusing. I have never been a fan of the node-based interface like blenders. Also with autodesk you have more plugins resulting in more capability.

So to me its worth it to shell out the money to autodesk because it saves me time and time is money.

[geek113377]

@rbneville It's surprising how much you can do without nodes. Blender is open-source, so plugins are common and all over, The interface is only confusing to you because you aren't used to it. By your logic, I could correctly state that Maya is impossible to use just because I don't know where all the buttons are.

[rbneville]

@geek113377 i agree with that also. Its just my personal preference to work with Autodesk (Also i dont use Maya i use Max). On another note, this technology is great. I've always wanted to play with MoCap but I never had the money for 4 HD cameras plus suits and markers. i believe this will open up a whole new realm of "Amateur" animated films.

[loczyn]

@geek113377

Becouse Blender is just like Gimp in 3D?

When u start working in 3D u know why people chosen Autodesk...

[geek113377]

@loczyn What's your problem with Gimp. Give it the right plugins and it does exactly what you need it to.

[mugofdoom]

@geek113377 Because Blender sucks?

[TheWaveringRadiant]

@geek113377 sorry but blender sucks compared to Maya

[timjamespettigrew]

@geek113377 Because blender simply lacks

[YvesZairre]

@geek113377 Coz blender cater for newbies

[geek113377]

@YvesZairre actually, it is public knowledge that blender is catered more towards long-time users than new users. both the website design and the software design show this. your argument is invalid!

[animenoob09]

blender doesn't work as good as 3ds max/maya/c4d - but blender is free

[skyler114]

@geek113377 i think it's called an educational license

OH YEA

[mariusvanrhijn]

@OrganicMotion Advertising yourself on your competitor's video? That's kind of a d-move, don't you think?

[BrazillianFOsho]

how come kinect games dont track motion nearly as good as this?

is this like a better software?

[digitaldud]

@BrazillianFOsho

Well games have to track motion in real-time, here you could spend hours computing for just a few seconds of animation. It's accuracy over speed.

[zimtower]

@digitaldud watch?v=bQREhd9iT38

[zimtower]

Will there be a kinect-only edition for machinima artists?

[ak47oooo]

Just so everyone knows, the software this company sells is $1,000 for their standard package

[mafiagenious]

@ak47oooo Well you could get an educational license and get the standard edition for $300 which is ok

[zimtower]

Imagine, the guys at Valve paid tens of thousands of dollars to make their character animation, and this was done for under a few hundred dollars.

[Asytra]

Fantastic. I was hoping something like this would come out of the homebrew community. In fact I was so certain it would happen that I recently splurged on a Kinect. Aside from giving me a fantastic workout it will be fun to put it to use with more productive products. :)

[nathanthekiller]

Can't wait for this to be released.

[cildni]

Wow! The last shot is particularly impressive.

[InfiniteRealities]

I have a feeling the large Mocap studios are crapping themselves!

Awesome quality for price.

[cresshead]

err... this looks awesome!

looks like a slam dunk purchase from me!
