So I finally bought AN Xbox 360 Kinect to do motion capture for Source Filmmaker. I have some questions that need a little answering:
1. I have a USB 2.0 extension cable to carry the Kinect further away. Will a standard cable with M to F connection work?
2. Will the power adapter that the 360 Kinect comes with work just fine?
3. Does the ipisoft free trial and basic edition come with anti-jitter to help clean up the animation?
4. Will I need a second Kinect to make complex animations like fighting, moving from cover-to-cover, and lying down?
5. Is the Pro edition worth it for the extra features?
6. Is there another mo-cap software better than ipisoft?
7. Will a Kinect for Windows v1 be compatible with the 360 Kinect?
1. Standard USB cord should be fine
2. Yes it will do
3. It has anti-jitter options you can tweak (pre and post)
4. Depends really I've experimented a lot with it over the past years there isn't that much big of a difference imo.
5. No comment
6. Brekel
7. Yep
So I can use a 360 Kinect with a Kinect for Windows v1 for the two cameras? Cool! Brekel does sound a bit better due to the fact that it can animate the hands, head, and make waist rotations. Plus it's cheaper, which makes my budget a lot better. It's got a weird amount of options though.
1. Should I get Pro Pointcloud, Pro body, or both? Does that have anti-jitter? Can they support two Kinects?
2. Can I import the animation directly to SFM?
3. Do they have to be in a T-pose for the model animations to work? I have a model in particular that's not in a t-pose, but it's like a t-pose with the exception of the closed hands:
