It involves pingpong balls, a black spandex and web cams. Anyone would like to try?

The only thing is it saves motion files in .bip format not in .bvh which we can use in poser.

Interesting but unless there's a converter to BVH, useless for Poser users.

It is a shame that it doesn`t output a more standard format.

  Agreed.   I would like to have MoCap capability, but I would need to be able to export in BVH or directly to PZ2.

I've seen bip to bvh converters in the past.  They're probably still out there.

Sorry for my ignorance, what format is 'bip' and which apps use it?

Appears to be a propriatory format used by a 3DS Max plugin called Character Studio.

Black spandex and ping pong balls aren't really my style.
