Machinima for Dummies: Facial Motion Capture for $99?

Facial Motion Capture for $99?

Motion capture is getting much cheaper very, very fast.

Case in point: Zign Track, which purports to do motion capture of markers on a face for $99 plus a webcam. The demos are impressive, although I’m not sure what Machinima packages aside from MotionBuilder would support imported facial data at present (UT3, perhaps?)

Having said that, now the capability’s there, the rest of the software may well follow.

Thanks to The Overcast for putting us on to that.

“This looks like a brilliant tool. I’m desperate to play with it now!”

Okay, if that’s not a lewd email signature quote waiting to happen, I don’t know what is.

Yeah, absolutely! I’m totally jazzed about what is bound to follow from this for full body capture.
