QUMA 3D motion capture figurine

[Aziz]

Hi,

This article on QUMA was just pointed out to me by a friend today. Apologies if it's been mentioned before. It's from last year, so not new, but new to me :-)

Just in case anyone else hasn't seen it - QUMA is a motion capture device using an action figure whose poses are mimicked by a CG figure.

Ola Aziz,

Never saw it, totally cool, ILM did a production rig like this for Jurassic Park (they won a Oscar because of this :)), so, Phil Tippet could animate the Dinosaurs rigs and the render was done in CGI :)

Take a look!! Markerless Motion Capture:

Thanks for that Markerless Motion Capture link, Tomas. Looks good. Wish I had it last year when I helped work on a local children's TV show. This new technique looks much easier than the one we used.

Thanks
