Description from the author:

For this i used express version of ipi motion capture studio 4 and a single front facing Kinect 2 sensor. I also used blender for the tail motions and rendering, after effects for blending the footage, and lastly premiere for general editing and sound design. Godzilla is motion captured and the only key-framed element was the tail.

I tried to make a Michael dance video. The motion was captured with the iPi Soft 30 day trial using one kinects V2.

I have taken just in one day to capture all scene, but I have reworked a lot of skins motions because these motions are fast.

I have put the ipisoft skins motion (.bvh) on a 3D character made with makehuman.

I am very impressed to have this result only with one Kinect!

This video is a table tennis point played on the moon. Every single motion was captured with the iPi Soft 30 day trial using mostly one but sometimes two Xbox 360 kinects. The capturing took place over four days at 3 different locations in Scotland and involved the current Edinburgh champion and a Scottish international player who has competed in various Commonwealth games. 
I've included a credit sequence which shows some of the players captured shots.
The motions exported from the iPi trial were combined in Autodesk Maya and were textured and rendered with Vray.

Description from the author:

Almost all motions were captured with motion capture. The only exceptions of the arms during the shotgun swing attack, the green spartan death animation, and the arms on the white elite. The motion was recorded using only a single kinect 2 and the basic version of ipi mocap studio.

Description from the author:

Entire Episode was done with the help of Motion Capture in iPi Mocap. At first it was done only with one Kinect V2 and 3 PS Move sensors for the head and arms, but then additional Kinect V2 was added, to record more advenced moment scenes. Though have to admit, still more practice is required to master animation recording with 2 Kinects.
