    nintendo wii and maya? wow... do you know Johnny Chung Lee hacking with wii?

    You're right about gloves for wierd creatures....but maybe some facial expression are similar for human and monsters... I'm trying to do some facial motion capture with OpenCV and some markers on my face :-)

  • True, but mocap is mainly for humans. If you have proper blend shapes you can even control wierd cartoon creatures with a glove / joystick controller, if you use motion builder. I'm doing an experiment with a nintendo wii glove, and hopefully it works out

    thank you! this glove is a low cost model, so it is very inaccurate... but I think that with a more serious hardware, more possibilities open...

    facial and mouth expression control hardware? nice idea, but i think that the future is in the video mocap...bye!

  • Wow this really is amazing. From your experience with controller devices and maya, do you think their practical for laying down animations? Even with joysticks, or touch screen controlls, it seems more practical than motion capture suits.

    You should make a device with that rig for controlling mouth and facial expressions like Jim Hensons studio.
