[QUOTE=Clavus;37378263]I wonder how much such a mocap setup costs in total.[/QUOTE]

There is Kinect software for that.

Kinect seems to be a nice solution for an animator on a budget, but it probably can't compete with professional tools.

[QUOTE=Aurora93;37379499]it's a cameraless sensor-driven mocap system

A kit with 6 sensors costs 13900 euros. Ouch. And that's without suits :v:

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;37387015]Was the conductor Mike Moransky? I always figured him for a younger guy.[/QUOTE]

It's Morasky, not Moransky btw

[Impulse 101]

Holy shit I know that valve puts "Valve Studio Orchestra" as the artist of their music but I didn't expect it to be a real orchestra, always thought they made their music digitally :v:

[The_J_Hat]

They used to, but I think they had an orchestra for TF2.

[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;37379814]Whoa that's awesome. Affordable too! I mean, if you do animation a lot $550 must be a negotiable investment for ultra smooth and convincing character movements.[/QUOTE]

$550 just for a tight suit to hold the sensors that cost over $1,000 each.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;37379121]Any HL3 hints in it?[/QUOTE]

Actually, yes.

@ 0:23 to the right of the guys desktop you can see the launch HL3 icon.

[QUOTE=Aurora93;37379906]receivers are at least $2000 but yeah[/QUOTE]

Hah. Yeah I should've read better. It seemed too good to be true anyway.

That's a half life 2 icon.

Now I'd like to see the making of the making of the trailer.

For some reason I kept thinking that they animated everything by hand and I was completely stumped on how they could be that good.

[Hollywood SN]

It looks like they get the basic movements from the motion capture, then tweak the animations for the actual video, i think they do it mostly by hand in the TF2 videos though.

[QUOTE=DeEz;37389068]For some reason I kept thinking that they animated everything by hand and I was completely stumped on how they could be that good.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure all of TF2's animations are done by hand. Including the ones in the "Meet the" videos.

[FuzzyPoop]

All that work and some of the in-game animations are [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-24ZIhNpQlI]less than impressive[/url].

[Aurora93]

they don't use mocap for hand animations lol

[FuzzyPoop]

[QUOTE=Aurora93;37398495]they don't use mocap for hand animations lol[/QUOTE]

lol that's exactly what i suggested

[don818]

Can't you do Mocap with a track IR? That's only 200 dollars.
