Regarging Kinect I can say that, together with Ipi, it can get really frustrating, due to calibration, imperfections in the captired movements, and the limited movement you can have ( using 1-2 Kinect, with PS Eye you get more range of movement ). I gave up on Ipi after 2 months, not worthed.
I'll receive 2 neurons mocap "suits" in a bit ( which also includes fingers, not all of them however ), and based on what I've seen, on the software its using and the calibration, is really plug&play, and also the calibration is really easy to setup. The software exports BVH/FBX and someone already made a direct output to the Unreal Engine 4 and I guess that soon someone will create a custom plugin to connect it directly to Maya, similar to KineMocap for Softimage. Price is good and looks like one of the most affordable system around, also the software ( base version ) is free. I don't have direct experience with Xsens, but its quite expensive and more professionally oriented then Kinect/Neuron... 2015-05-27 0:12 GMT+02:00 Michael Heberlein <micheberl...@gmail.com>: > Hi gang, > > We're looking for an affordable motion capture system (no face or fingers > needed) to get some previs-quality animation or pose and timing reference > for our animators. > > Has anyone tried an inertial mocap system like XSens [1] or Neuron [2], > are those better than e.g. iPiSoft [3] with multiple Kinect2 sensors? > > I also stumbled upon The Captury [4] and FastMocap [5] but the first > requires multiple high quality cameras and the second seems to be not > available any more. > > It looks like [2] would be great but isn't available yet and [1] or [3] > are the alternatives we have but I'd be happy if you want to share more > thoughts and experience, especially regarding Softimage or Maya integration. > > Cheers, > Michael > > [1] https://www.xsens.com <https://www.xsens.com/products/xsens-mvn/> > [2] https://neuronmocap.com <https://neuronmocap.com/products-fullwidth> > [3] http://ipisoft.com <http://ipisoft.com/gallery/> > [4] http://www.thecaptury.com > [5] http://www.fastmocap.com > >
