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.

You could use Jack for the gnome models!

The live mocap stuff is fun to see in person but I hope to do more recorded/touched up recordings in the future. I think perhaps some EQ PSA's could be in order? I still have no idea where to take this.

your wood elf has poor char rigging, i bet the FK will not work that well if animating, i only skimmed through, and notice that you have a green suit im guessing to do the animation

but over all, not bad work

you're right on the char rigging, i wanted to rush to the end product and the biped rig is bound to the live mocap data. No FK/IK involved, although when I applied full IK to my biped rig it did animate pretty well.

Also the envelopes on the skin were poorly (quickly) done and I hope to touch it up in the future.

As for the green suit... haha not so much man, the green/blue suit you see is all done by the Kinect. incredible piece of machinery that is.

i use maya, thought 3ds max does all the work for you pretty much, i hate the reg biped doll, to me i like to freestyle making the joints/rig ect, been a long time since ive done some 3d stuff, use to make stuff for the hell of having fun, though i dont think ill ever get into the gaming industry, but have fun with it!
