So I know your project isn't really about this but I would like to propose a slightly different angle for the kinetic technology that I think might be more interesting for future game content creation. Finding more methods to scan data is I think a pretty cool idea, however I think the cost problem will eventually fix…
Over the past couple of days, I've been playing around with using a Kinect and the software that comes in the Kinect SDK to do some 3D scanning at home. It has its limitations and the output is usually a little messy around the edges, but so far I'm happy with the results I've been able to achieve with extremely short…
Looks like lots of fun to me: http://www.pcgamesn.com/indie/garrys-mod-receive-kinect-support-week-or-next [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avgqr75MVcg"]Another Kinect/GMod Video - YouTube[/ame] Should be amazing with all the possibilities in Garry's mod! :) I had tried Kinect with physics objects in Motion Builder…
Recent iPi Change History Latest version: 1.3.1.123: * Improved calibration algorithm for dual Kinect configuration. * Improved accuracy for Kinect cameras – taking non-square pixels into account. * Minor UI improvement: support for drag-and-drop of video and project files. * Minor bug fix in activation dialog with…
I also have a 1st gen xbox that red-ringed outside of the warranty, they don't do jack for ya. I haven't bothered replacing it, been PC gaming it ever since. I was thinking about picking up a PS3 then their network melted down. LA Noir is pretty tempting and a handful of other games that would be great on a console but…
Do any of my fellow Polycounters have any experience with Microsoft's Kinect for windows? I'm researching the feasibility of using it for facial performance capture of voice actors in animation. I've seen some successful results by others using just a regular video feed, as long as they have tracking marks placed and are…
Hi , yes i used mocap a couple of months ago i was experimenting with using FaceShift Studio and a kinect 1. Was working really well i plan on using it for facial animation. Why did you need to have a modded Kinect? Microsoft now fully support the kinect with their SDK. Reconstrruct me is another good piece of free…
I did a search for ipisoft and kinect camera and ipiSoft before posting this. With IpiSoft you can capture full body mocap right on your desktop with one kinect camera! Check out this awesome demonstration video! http://youtu.be/Ey3JN2hv_Q4 Be sure to check out the 30 Day FREE demo of this amazing and powerful software,…
We got our Kinect units at work yesterday. Took it home and played Kinect Adventures. I must say, it's more fun than I initially thought it was going to be. I actually feel less stupid playing Kinect than I did waggling a Wiimote. The waggling always felt superfluous. If I was a kid, I'd love a Kinect.
As many of you must already have, a few months ago I heard about using a Kinect Sensor for Motion Capture to create animations. I bought one and tried using Brekel but the results were not good enough (glitchy, weird) and the workflow wasnt too straightforward either. Now a few days ago while searching (and avoiding the…
