Even if with a CAP with leds or trackers, but a head tracking is fundamental!

Yes, head tracking is the next big item on my wishlist! I originally thought head tracking wasn't too important but I can actually use this right now because I'm tracking a lot of motion timed to music and the performances have a surprising amount of 'head bobbing'.

After that I would really like to have a batch queue in DMC. This would be a major workflow improvement.

Wrist tracking would be nice after that but I could probably live without it too.

Thanks for listening guys. :)

Still think my idea of using a $2.50 LED Reindeer Nose would really make it easy for Andrew to calculate head tracking:

Yeah like strapping one on your nose to calculate head rotation and one at the top of your head to calculate head bending. The only risk is you will look really really silly and dragged to a mental institution which I am willing to do as long as it will save me alot of animating hours.

Something as simple as a baseball cap with a different colored brim might do it too. These are common and easy to purchase, plus you don't have to worry as much about the video footage getting out on the net. (Maybe.) :)

Anyway, whatever they come up with, I'm sure it will work great.

We'll be working on this after we release full support for Kinect.
