Some interesting tools for the near future

I've always been interested in experimenting with mocap for my animated film production BUT I don't want to invest in a suit or solutions that require 3-4 cameras...ALSO I would use it for creative purposes and probably NOT to capture stuff to apply to a biped rig... so the thangs going on with the Microsoft Kinect look very interesting... apparently some skilled programmer types have already created software bridges to integrate it with Motionbuilder, Max and Maya...

So this would make your garage/bedroom/basement studio that much more powerful ^ ^


THIS really got my ideas going... I know there's sites like Veetle and Ustream to do live streaming stuff BUT your subject to they ad's and restrictions... but with the forthcoming Bit Torrent live platform you'll be able to stream whatever you want whenever you want as long as you have enough of an audience to seed and support the stream... so it kind of builds in a kind of natural selection....if no one want's to watch it then the stream will be weak...

And since here in he U.S. the ISP's severely limit your up speed so you can't do any kind of serious live streaming from your connection it seems Bit Torrent Live would work around that... it adds latency but as long as all the viewers were in sync that would be titE.

So you could run your own live streaming film festival and stuff like that... very interesting stuff indeed!Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
