I was hoping that you would make one of these when I first saw your daily SFM tips videos.
You are god.
Does this work if you only have one kinect?

Yes, you'd just need to adjust the setup and calibration- with one Kinect you could also do Brekel. Although it doesn't do a great job with skeleton tracking, it's better than nothing.

Still cost more than 220€ for making your own animation at home.

That desperate me :'(

Wow, this is great. The work you're doing with all these tutorials is invaluable. You have my thanks.

Oh man, I could listen to your voice all day...
Luckily these videos are very long and that fulfills that request!
Thanks for tutorials, man.
Now all I need is a kinect.

Brekel is unfortunately shit tier, but I'll check out IPIsoft. It appears to be the better alternative.

Nice work :P

You could use 3DS Max and just import the .bvh onto a CAT rig or BIPED rig and its all good to go

Kinect MSRP dropped to $109 for anyone looking to buy them

I have two questions about this actually.
1) How can we rig Half-Life 2 characters and import the motions onto them? I am assuming this must be done manually (Never really messed with Maya before)

2) Is there a 3ds Max work around? I'm able to use a Biped rig, slap a BVH onto it, export as an SMD, recompile the model and then use it as a sequence. Obviously it'd be much easier to just import the animation directly into SFM rather than have to compile each time.
