but I simply cannot resist this one.

OK so... would colored dots on a "soft body surface" on a live model videoed from two different angles be something useful?  I could totally do that.

I am working on some new projects, and I have a greenscreen already, if such motion capture is useful I could add it the list of projects, with the consession of using a pastie/sticker to prevent it from being against TOS.

That could actually be useful, you know. Particularly if your model is willing to go through the numerous poses that people would think up. Even a simple straightline walk is going to have significant variations from a slow, low impact walk; a full stride walk (all barefoot). Then repeating the same with flats, then low heels, then actual high heels. The change in pelvic tilt changes the forces affecting the soft bodies in question, and the way they move changes in response (you get more side to side swing with larger breasts walking in heels than barefoot, for example; but -how- the hips are moving affects it as well. Roll the hips, the greater the pendulum effect). For that matter, if you wanted a sellable product, short video clips of a model standing, sitting, kneeling in various manners, laying down, etc, with spotter dots on the major body parts so that the =timing= and fine details of such actions can be observed might go over with the animating crowd. There isn't a whole lot of actual video out there with an indexed and marked model...
