i would like to find a motion capture system that will let me capture 2 people ballroom dancing, and output *.bip files. also that uses 'standard webcams', Logitech 640x480 @ 30 frames per second type cameras.
i did a search for cheap motion capture on Google, but nothing stood out.
if i can use webcams then i limit my hardware cost. i have old computers that are in the 2003-2004 vintage, using DDR400 RAM. i've used older systems with DDR333 for capture at that resolution.
* computers
* cameras
* software
* backdrops (large pieces of colored fabric)
* space, that is, room to set all the stuff up.
* color dot markers to facilitate mocap.
what software would you use in a system like this, to videotape the people dancing, and to convert that set of data to a *.bip or similar file ?
i mention *.bip's because i am familiar with them from 3D Max.
