Writing because I'm actually pretty curious about this too...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh855356.aspx I honestly cant explain any further, my 360 is from 2008 and i never wanted a kinect. i know its what people use and even the people who did the H4 terminals used a kinect for mocap.

You can not apply a .bvh or a .bip to a game asset that uses bones.
You need to constrain the bones to a system biped and apply the mocap file from there. That is what this tutorial tells you how to do. Its old so ask if you have any questions. http://youtu.be/u-2UpYbyvs0?list=UUGeNL9Zlsf8pqqtu4pWozjA |

You can hook up the kinect to your pc (if an xbox kinect, you need the adapter, I got mine for 3 bucks) and use a program, such as MotionBuilder 2015, that comes with a plugin that can use the kinect for mocap data. You can then send the data back to max if you have the right version. Beware, though, as what you will witness will be the trashiest mocap you can ever pump out. :) Edited by Noble on Jan 5, 2015 at 08:44 PM Edited by Noble on Jan 5, 2015 at 09:01 PM |

there were a few mocap programs being worked on that used 4 video cameras (go pros in their case) to capture motion. idk if there are any public programs yet... but your best bet is a microsoft kinect if you have one. http://www.kinecthacks.com/guides/kinect-mocap-tutorial-1/
