Steve Scores! - BVH Motion Capture [3D Minecraft Animation]

Found some free bvh mocap files on the web and tested them out on this minecraft's character model which I created. Added some sounds and got this funny result :)

You should get an xbox kinect. When you plug it into the pc it works really well for BVH capture and that way you would have full ownership of the animations :)

[TheTiivik]

@Apterygiformes yeah I did some research on home made mocap and found out that there was already program meant for kinect or ps3 eye cams for mocap. Do they sell cameras separately, because I wouldn't want to buy a whole console, just the cam?

[snowbell01]

@TheTiivik id buy ps3 eye toy they like 50 bucks, the kinect is like 180 bucks,

[TheTiivik]

@snowbell01 yes but 1 kinect sensor can operate on its own, if I would go for ps3 eyes, I would have to buy 3-4 of these

lol there was no ball... O.o [inviso ball :D]

[TheTiivik]

@monkeyis10 yeap :) there was no ball included in the mocap so let's say this is "Air basketball" like those "Air guitar" guys =D

His head looks a bit distorted, otherwise an awesome animation!

JELLO HEAD

[snowbell01]

@TheTiivik oh, well then i guess the kinect would be a better choice lol

[Apterygiformes]

Hey i've been playing around with bvh and put a little experiment video as a video response. could you tell me what you think? Also i realised why your guy's head is jelly like. You need to delete your neck bone :P

[Teqnicality]

@TheTiivik yes they do.

[Apterygiformes]

@TheTiivik Yes they do sell the kinect cameras seperatly but unfortunatly with microsoft being microsoft it is still quite expensive. If i were you i'd ask friends whether or not they have a kinect and if you could borrow it rather than make the commitment. Try it out first :)
