Do you need certain camera for this setup. what camera work well with wire frames.

Is that kennect.

@quadcorecocsukr I think you can use many different types, we used what iPi recommended which is 6 PS3 Move Cameras.

is it really needed the T pose?

[NovemberSoftware]

@RubenDandrea87 No, but helps the quality. System works by tracking forward or backwards from a known state. So always starting at a known default T-pose and tracking into the moves helps the tracking quality from what we have seen. You start a custom poses, but standard T-pose eliminates more error in tracking,

@NovemberSoftware do u think a i can make a triple video of a video game making a melee attack in 3 different views and put it in this program as 3 cameras? i mean if i can make 3 videos in one like this program requires..

[NovemberSoftware]

@RubenDandrea87 Interesting idea. It would be tricky to get it configured right, but definitely worth a try. You can try the 3 camera version for free still I believe. The only trick is you would need to setup the 3 camera's yourself or get the matching data from the game so the cameras in iPi would match the camera's used in the game. Then you would customize an actor to look like the guy you want to track and fit and track from there. Would love to see your results ;)

They must have worked hard on programming software and it's just new technology, my last question is will wavi xtion for pc mirrored version from kinnect work with ipisoftware soon release. once that launches there's no doubt site like ipesoft will pop up everywhere.
