po-boy face cap?? hmmm, well, without actually capturing marker data, the only way I could really think of doing po-boy facecap would involve 2 dv cameras. set one infront of a person in a chair and the other to its side(could use 2 extra cameras, one on each side)

You would then place small colored dots on the victims(volunteers) face. Once you record it all, and dump it onto your system, you would then just use them as background reference video to animate some joints over.

Most facecap systems actually move weighted joints rather than the typical rotation associated with body mocap.

Hope that makes sense.

Humm... I use Blender as my main 3D app (it is free, so you could say that by itself it's a Poor Man's Solution) and there is a plug-in for Blender called "Poor Man Motion Capture" that takes a digital video and translate the motion of one point into 3D info... I'm sorry that I don't have the link, I used to be (the link, not the plug-in) on the old "Blender Community" site, but the site was shut down. So you could try searching on Google or even on The Internet Acrhives... good luck.
