It's been out for a while now. I think this is the second time I got an e-mail from SmithMicro about it. Luuk Steitner first designed it for Animation:Master and inquired about Poser interest in the forum at Content Paradise a few months ago. You can use a regular consumer grade camcorder. As long as things are lit OK and the dots contrast enough with the skin, you're in business. There is a demo video on YouTube

It does work. Luuk also keeps improving it. Good proggy for intermediate/advanced hobbiest level. A little more functionality with Animation Master as that program gives you more control over things like facial animation and animation in general. Always wished Hash had gotten polygon models to work better in it instead of their native spline based models.
