Made another tutorial on how to get existing halo animations into biped/bvh/bip format.

Then you need to blend and "tween" the 2 mocaps.

Thanks a ton to l28, for helping me out with this stuff, and teaching me too :)

Thanks to TauSigmaNova and iHalo for the h3 biped and rig.

not as simple as it sounds though, you then have to clean that data and add the markers to it as the pure data on it's own is useless. Use Autodesk Motionbuilder for that. Once you get the hang of it, it's rather easy, ive done it.

And you need at least 4 cameras tbh, and might be complicated to setup the cameras.

@Maniac

Credit iHalo because the original H3 Biped that I gave you was from his release.

Credited.

Man this is awesome! You are awesome! Thank you~!

thanks for the links, i might get a chance to have a blast at this at some point.

Add it so they are jiggly, hehe

Oh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypA2iaG2Wmg I had more fun, 3 hours to render in 1920x1080 urgh.

Can one create a bip or bvh file from pre-existing animations? And do the bones of the biped have to be the same?

I am making a tut on how to use these on your own rig, and get them ingame.
I have the animations baked to keyframes on the bones now and need someone to tell me the best setup to get the anim ingame.

Last one crashed and complained about "limp body physics"
here is a new version, please tell me if this one works.

Cool stuff.

On a side note, linking mc bones to other game animations should also work right (even though they aren't .bip or .bvh mocap files)?

Alright, cool.

Nice one l28.

:) looks good.

Going to make a 2nd part to my tutorial, on how to get the mocap in game.
Thanks for spending the time to teach me l28 :)

Can we put in requests? I can't do this Mocap thing.

Here you can download some .bip's
http://www.mocapdata.com/index.cgi?category_id=19053
there are a lot more out there.

How about a armor lock animation? Or a jetpack?

I do not have any kinect cameras or ps3 cameras, or i would use a real jetpack to create a mocap of jetpack :) , google "brekel" if you do have these things.
I couldnt capture this either because i dont know kung fu, but the actions and foot positions look better now.

Cool stuff, cool stuff. Going to be using some mocap files soon when I reinstall CE and install OS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPC4jr5Du0Q

Going to make a 2nd part tutorial on how to get these ingame tonight.

Looks really cool.

Unfortunately I don't have Kinect :(

Dont worry about the black flashing, its a dynamic mirror problem.

Can you use a computer web cam or something?

Is that Gamma's ODST? Or the crappy leak?

Crappy leak. You can see the white thing on his crotch.

I only used what i could find on the mainpage.
That ODST uses the MC bones though the mesh does not matter, its only the bones that matter.
Looks like it uses the marine bones.
Here is gamma's.

seeing you guys put kinect motion cap in-game, something popped out of my head,

Assassination Idea :
when ever u press "flaslight/q", it projects a stun/emp dmg that prevents walking and plays ur DIY assassination animation then releases the kill dmg . has anybody thought of that?
