Microsoft Kinect in Blender - Realtime Point Cloud Demonstration

[airlife101]

Like if you clicked to see this video because you thought the Kinect was going to be put in a blender..

You should figure out how to do '3D Pictures' using a still capture from kinect, and maybe get auto texture generation working that would be awesome!

That okreylos guy got it working great, though his program doesn't allow you to save a 'snapshot' of it and use it in blender. Combine his and yours and get an instant 3d scanner.

Excellent Job!!!

@embraerss I'm assuming because of how frequently the coding in 2.5 changes. Trying to build a plugin for it is a friggin nightmare, because you have to change it almost nightly to keep up with all the builds.

Dylan! Awesome... I'm having trouble getting it working tho. I have libfreenect installed so I'm at a loss at why it won't run.

Thanks.

isso é algo inutel vendo pelo lado do jogo

eu sou daqueles que preferem o controle do que apenas fazer movimentos com as maos vazias

mas vendo pelo desenvolvimento de um software gratuito esse é um grande passo para o blender

BETA GAMES

@HKSDK para o futuro é perfeito para motion capture, para fazer as animações do jogo em unlimited detail

AWSOME!

All of a sudden I want to hack my RA's Kinect, but I know that he won't let me (hack a $150 system)

Nice work!

Could this be used to make kinect function as a cheap motion caption system?:D I'm really interested if the kinect is accurate enough to do facial capture?

Great work Dylan ,, looking forward to c more of your magic.

I was thinking if it possible to control an armature in blender using Kinect ?. this will make MOCAP available for the masses ,, think about it ;).

[BiglinesNL]

Will this be ported to blender 2.5?

[mrjimmyos]

Very cool, although the dance moves...

[wayfarerboy12]

That's pretty awesome! For anyone else who'd like to try this out, I ran this in Ubuntu Maverick with a compiled version of the latest libfreenect, and as long as you run blender with root privileges - sudo blender - it works flawlessly. Nice work :)
