hi, I am planning on doing a major series of motion captures for poser charachters. I wanted to know if people would be interested in buying collections of mtion capture files (specifically for poser) a.how much wold you be willing to pay?(be reasonable) b. what type of mtions would you want? (i.e. martial arts, gunfights, discussions and talking, sports, etc. feel free to ad catagories) c. what characters would you want them for?(posett, dork, mike,victoria) thanks for your feedback, the more i get, the better i can make this product.

Hello: Answer a: around $30.00 for each set of animations could be a reasonable amounth. b: Gunfights, Boxing, Dance (clasical and modern), Skating, Office common movements like writting, rocking on a chair, etc, Thai shi, boat Rowing, Climbing, Walk designs, different kind of run sets, etc. c: P4 people and Millenium ones could be cool. I wish you a good luck with your product. Virus

Let me put in a vote for classical dancing routines, that's two. (except a vote for them is worth 10 votes, that's 20) Also, going from one very everyday pose to a different pose eg from lying down to standing (and stretching) where there are lots of poses in between that may be left out. That's the easy bit. Now you have to make them to fit a Thornworks Faerie. I don't know how many people have Peridot from June 2000 but Posette would do thank you.

About animals too, and the baby.

Howabout secondary movements things like hands through hair, looking at a watch smoking a cigarette , all things you would do in everyday situations

Not to put a damper on this idea but why not just keyframe some of these movements yourself and export the animation as a BHV file and you will have a reusable motion thats joint mapped for the poser figure that spawned it thats how i built my library of motions for my poser characters and remember there are quite a few FREE motion files on the poser4 content CD including poser scene files that have animated characters that can be exported as BVH Mocap

because Im lazy ;-)

At Credo Interractive, each BVH are packed in package and the cost of each BVH is about one dollar each. I bought many from there. Suggestion: BVH for Vicki and Mike will be nice. BVH for the different animal will be a big plus. I will be ready to pay about the same price as Credo Interractive.

Realistic Love Making BVhs

DON'T CLICK ON THAT LINK ABOVE,it froze my screen!!!

The link worked fine for me, it leads to an animation of a bald man in a sci-fiesque room talking.

I did that animation over a year ago its our very own poser4 Dork as "Baron Harkkonnen" Mocap

I knew it was from DUNE about 1.5 seconds into the audio. Thanks for brining up great memories! But to answer your question, Mocap: simple BVH's look superior in almost every respect. 30 frames = 30 keyframes, 180 frames = 180 keyframes. The more the merrier. I'm not putting down you animation at all, but if they had captured Baron Harkonnen's movements during that scene as a BVH it would look a lot better. -Tim

Karaneli: To answer your questions: (and yes, I would be very interested) a) Dunno ... I guess slightly less than what Credo or HOM charges. Depends on lenght, complexity, etc. b)Just about anything, but Chrome's idea about secondary movements is great. It's a virtually untapped market. c) Definetly MIKE AND VICKY!! (Versions 1 & (soon) 2) d)Whoops, there was no (d) ... hee-hee!
