Now this is just downright impressive don’t you think? Watch the video and tell me what you think.

I don't want to sound like a Jerk and I hope I don't. I though this was exactly what Nata... Kinect was doing, knowing the general human structure, watching the video building an outline then putting the skeleton in there?
Thanks IRSmurf, I just hate it when people start saying things that let people know that they obviously don't get it. I still think its great that they figured it out.
I remember seeing a program (I don't think I downloaded it) a long time ago that could analyze video for scene detection and record from a video cam. So you could connect almost any video cam to the computer and let it run and see who has been messing with what while you were gone and only get the video from when there was action.
There are tons of apps to do that. I use Supervisorcam to record video, and have used it to record an employee 'shopping' in our tech room after hours. I capture from a usb to composite video dongle.
Traditional motion capture involves placing actors in leotards either covered in reflectors and filmed with at least two cameras, or covered in sensors and recorded in a magnetic field. Obviously, you need the actors to go through the motions while wearing the getup, recording them in that specially-equipped studio.Alright, I'll play the part of the troll here...cause I don't get what's so special about it and was not impressed at all. Obviously I missed something because this looks like something that would be cool maybe 20 years ago. I watched the whole thig assuming that at the end they'd show me something that blew me away...but it never came.
Someone please set me straight.

So for now, that leaves the "hobbyist" 3D artist (like me) to still have to hand animate which is not only time consuming but woefully unrealistic. I've had some success with facial video capture but nothing for full body stuff. Still waiting.
