Finally the MoCap report...and because iam a nice dude i share the workflow!

Wishlist / stuff to startup
() Windows 8 or 8.1 ...point!
() Kinect SDK 2.0 not 1.8 ( didnt work 4me ) from MS page
NOTE: Drivers are in this SDK
() 64bit of course
() 8GB
() Intel i5 or higher
() DirectX 11 graphics card
() big n fast(!) HD
() USB 3.0 ( carefull: not every device is working, google be4! )
direct connections!
() MS Kinect Adapter ( +- 50Euro )
() Kinect XBOX one or Windows V2 ( did not test Kinect360 ...maybe i will )
() 2nd Kinect for "360° mocap's" ( each +- 140Euro )
() iPi MoCap Studio ( free trial will work 30 days )
() iPi Recorder
() fantasy in your brain

Very usefull
() Fragmotion ( forget Milkshape in this case btw )
() BVHacker ( must have for basic n quick edits of BVH )
() (some) Knowledge about motion blending
( how to move correct 4ex walk anm: last frame same as first frame )
() Autodesk FBX Converter
( free, thank u Malice that u reminded me btw )
() Any Game Engine like 3dgs

Workflow
() Capture your movement ( iPi Recorder [depth 3d infos etc] )
40sec movement needs +- 15-30 minutes "rendering/tracking" time
() Track your movement ( render video to model )
() Postprocess filter is used to auto "cleanup" mocap data
() Retarget bones with your gamemodel ( nearly automatic done by iPi )
NOTE: I used FBX 2012 ASCII. model display sucks in Editor, but i
dont care cause bones are working
() Export MoCap data to BVH file
() If you want u can now edit the BVH file in BVHacker ( free )
Like "stick model to center ( walk animations )"
() Open a Editor like Fragmotion and apply the BVH
() Export to 3DGS MDL
NOTE: Save way: export to MS3D, open in MS3D, export to MS3D ASCII,
import in MED and save as MDL ( may fix nearly all possible errs )
() Thats it FREAKY !!!

After one day i was able to record about 30(![fact!]) animations. I tested
them ingame. Most of them i guess ill use later. So i did a fully
re-animate of a zombie model with 2200 frames in two days...gameready ( of course not MetricMinds Quality but... ).
Note: I resampled amount of frames down to 3 times with BVHacker, still
they look smooth and flowing. I was able to record with 30fps all the
time, solid. If you thinking about investing into a Kinect MoCap Device,
i can say: Do it!


Note about the videos below: Workflow is realtime! I only stoped and
restarted the vids cause of the rendering time! Everything else is chilled
realtime.


Video1
The motion capture depth video via iPi Recorder and only ONE(!) Kinect

Video2
The tracking aka rendering process ( depth video to 3d model )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvkUuUd9xOs

Video3
The "cleanup" postprocess and import into editor, finally export to 3DGS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh-a-ELGjYo

If you have any questions ask. Next 27days ill record until my feet start
to blood...i mean all that shit, fu** animations, dance animations ahhhh
cutscene animations ahhhhhhh Alien Invasion Head Explode Animation

Bad thing btw: After 30days u need to pay iPi Soft in intervals
( 4ex 1 year basic : 345$ ... while thinking about, this isnt that
much for that GREAT Software ). I hope some free ( good ) tools will
appear next years. If not, guess iPi gots a new customer...me

edit: When recording its a good tip to ähm...do it naked btw! Dont wear gigantic pants, like i did in this Video

edit2: Note the model only "moves" in animation cause i did workflow for a walking animation. To keep model staying like in the BVH use BVHacker before merging the animation.

PEACE !
