You can set up up to 4 usb cameras.

then there is a marker configuration with a led light or flash light,

There is more information at the site in the forum.

Interesting I'll book mark this to see if it grows further. I just might buy it for a spin.

While it does look interesting, i think mixing the thousands of free mocaps out there is more fun :)

@Bo Bjering

Was that suppose to be irony or sarcasm?

I will look into it. I am guessing it is free?

@Tyler

A bit of both :), well infact so so many mocap captures out there for free i have never seen the need for software like this.

And there is quite alot of cleaning/optimizing to be done AFTER you capture, its not plug'n'play captures.

And no, its not free it seems, it seems if you wish 4 cams (best capture i guess) it will cost you just around 2000$.

But sure, if you do tons of custom animations, its most likely a decent thing to get/play around with.

The sliding on the animations is Horrible. It would take as much time to clean it as it would to do it by hand. I guess thats why our mocap suit sits in the corner at work and collects dust. I could do the animations better and faster by hand. Thats alway a problem with any mocap I have ever seen. Just my two cents. I guess if you do not have very experienced animators this is an option. DL out.
