Hi all,

my name is Dennis and I run an indie games company with my mates called 'Moonville Entertainment'.
Check out http://moonvilleentertainment.com/ for more.

We'd like to use iPiSoft Mocap for our current project.
The problem is that our budget is very limited and we haven't got a big room to capture mocap.
Therefore we aim for the 'Express' version which supports one Kinect and motion controllers.

I already purchased one Kinect v2 (including Windows adapter) and I plan to buy multiple PS Move controllers for better hand and head tracking.
So the question is:
Would this setup be enough for capturing things like a walk cycle or crouching?

Sorry for this noobish question, but I have no experience with this.
All I see is that people are using multiple camera setups, so I got doubts to get good results with one Kinect.

Best regards
Dennis

Hi
Single sensor is sufficient for capturing relatively simple motions. Main condition for good tracking is no body parts are occluded from the view of a sensor. This usually implies that an actor is primarily facing a sensor, so both arms and legs are well visible.
Walking, running, jumping (within a short distance) is OK. Crouching (if not too deep) should also be OK, but may require experimenting with sensor position to ensure good visibility of actor's limbs.
