Quote - 2-3 years ago, it would probably have been more cost effective to purchase a mocap system and do it myself; anyone know if thats still the case?

Still is, I think. Simi has one for about 10 grand that uses digital dv cameras. But then again, if you have 10 grand you could probably book a mocap studio and get all you need (depending on where you live). With all the games begin produced, mocap studios are pretty prevalent.
