Quote - That $2000 price was for hardware which I have no control of.  That was about how much it costed when I setup my system.  I got everything brand new(tripods, USB 2.0 hubs, 15ft cables etc), obviously you don't need to pay for those if you already have them.  Also full body capture might work with 4 cameras, that will save another $500, but it will be less accurate, there will be more occlusions and markers will need to be manually identified more often.

I originally started this project when I was working on making a fight video game and manually creating motions was so tedious, it drove me almost crazy.  Even if nothing good comes out of this project, I will at least be able to continue my video game development ;-)

Well don't give up...I really feel that the Poser community would be all over this if it comes to fruition. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your final product works!
