Does anybody know how to create BVH motions, ie-motion capture, without going to an expensive studio and gluing ping-pong balls on the subject?

you can buy pre made motion files at Bio-Vision or 3d caffe has some too. www.3dcaffe.com --criticom--

forgot about life forms which allow you too make and adjust motion files, and mimic too

Instead of going to an expensive studio, you could simply buy the expensive equipment and do it yourself; prices start at $10000 or so. The technology has moved on to wireless telemetry, with a range of up to half a mile; with the right rig, you won't need ping-pong balls or cameras. Just strap yourself into the suit and start dancing.

To create mocap you need to go to a studio or buy the equipment yourself. If you just want to make animation files in the bvh format you can do that in Poser. There's nothing magical about the bvh format other than it being cross-platform.

Didnt someone suggest importing an avi into poser as a background and then copying the movements with the posette frame by frame? Haven't tried it myself yet, so I don't know if it's feasible time-wise. Next Christmas i'll get some fairy lights strapped to my body and get friends to video me! Sorry, that last bit wasn't to do with Mocap,... just a little pastime of mine

Just went to the website from this thread they are giving a way once a month a new motion capture.

.bvh is a file format for motion. Mo-cap is a physical capture of motion described above and can be found in .bvh format. As to Poser, you can obviously generate motion and then export it as a .bvh file. This can be brought into various programs, like Life Forms for further development or used to move Poser generated mesh via bones in programs like Cinema4d, Electric Image, etc. In my limited experience, the export/import affair isn't exactly the easiest, as issues like axis orientation, figure scale and positioning, etc complicate the process. Poser Pro Pack may or may not simplify depending on your program (Cinema4D, Lightwave, 3dmax etc). manowar

Wipe, that was probably me suggesting the rotoscope technique. You know you're a no-one when you get referred to as someone.
