Cheap mocap setup for an amateur?

armagon

I'm interested in creating a mocap setup so i can animate a few characters for my open-source project. The biggest feature i need is good finger accuracy, since i'm planning to use mocap data for first-person hands. I was taking a look at iClone's Perception Neuron, but it's way over my budget.

Do you guys recommend anything?

Ive used this for finger mocap in the past and it worked great for most scenarios that didnt have much occlusion http://brekel.com/brekel-pro-hands/

You can gwt a leap for under 75 usd nowadays. As far as combining that with a full body syatem you might need something else. Ive seen a few instances of people using a couple kinects in opposibg corners of your capture area with pretty good success. If you need more accuracy then i think neuron is your next step up
