Hi there,

It's possible to capture someone running and put it on a a animation ?
If it's possible, how to do it because if I understand the most large you can have is 20 by 20 feet ?

Thank you for the help !

Hi
Yes, you can capture running motion. And you're correct that the range is limited to a capture area which is usually about 20x20 feet when using PS Eye cameras.
First, think whether you actually need a very long motion. Maybe, you only need a couple of steps and then loop them.
Also, you may experiment with camera placement to get a longer capture area specifically for running. Something like 10-12 feet wide corridor with cameras along the sides.

Thank you for the answer,

Well it's not more easy to do with a travelator ?

You can use treadmill or something similar to capture running. However, in this case you won't get correct movement of a character in the scene. It will be sliding on the ground instead of moving. You'll need to add translation to an animation manually in your animation software.
