Default (Nerd) Kinect Mocap onto a Wood elf!

in case you have no idea what the title means here is a quick run down:

I exported the male wood elf model/texture using 3dRipperDX and then I took it into 3d studio max where I cleaned the model and rigged it using the standard Biped rig. Then I exported the rig to Motionbuilder where I hooked up my kinect to do real time motion capture and then had to map to the woodelf.

I was using my wireless mouse and television to do the capturing since my wife / kid had left for the evening (FREEDOM!). I've attached some pictures as a proof of concept.

What do I plan on doing with this? I don't know. I can easily capture motion onto the rig and animate EQ chars doing things... heck maybe even in a rendered environment like the the 3d fan art thread? Really I have no idea.
