  • Would it be possible to connect your Wii-mote to your PC without the sensor-bar, or would we have to buy one?

  • @abdulz1 you could connect it yes, but it wouldn't work. without the sensor bar to use as a reference point, the cursor wont know where to go.

    the buttons and the accelerometer would work though

  • @TheTowerBarron What if you used another Infrared source, like a candle?

  • @abdulz1 Then yes, that should work. But if you're going to hack the wiimote to be used on your computer, you could probably hook a battery up to the sensor bar wire and just use that. Also, you can buy wireless sensor bars

  • Very good explanation, directly, simple, and using a great resource that is the animation. I didnt read all the coments, but you can answer again what's the software you used to do the animation? Blender, Maya, 3D Studio?

    Congratulations, very good work!

  • @alvaroperdigao This was made in Lightwave 3d. I've been experimenting with Maya a lot these days, so expect more videos (finally)

  • wait.. if the wii remote has a microphone. Why the hell do we need Wii speak?

  • @Pjor1cp Umm.. well first of all... I'm not a nintendo worker. Second, I made this video when the wii first came out. So things like the Kinect did not yet exist. I appreciate, however, that you think my work is good enough that a professional nintendo employee must have made it.

    thank you

see all
