Talks in spring 2018 at FMX and VRLA

It’s official I will be speaking at

FMX: April 24 – 27 in Stuttgart, Germany
https://fmx.de

 
And
 

VRLA: May 4 – 5 in Los Angeles, United States
http://virtualrealityla.com

 
Early bird tickets are already available for both conferences at their respective websites.
 
 
Topic will be “Ahh Screw It…Let’s Use Depth Sensors and VR/AR Equipment in Production”

 

The main vibe of this talk will be inspirational by showing real world examples of using low cost hardware in 3D animation, visual effects, game production.

In the first half we'll explore the use of consumer depth sensors (like Kinect, Orbbec & RealSense).
 Topics include pointlouds (volumetric video) and motion capture.

In the second half we'll look at recording Vive/Rift tracking data and see how it compares to some higher end motion capture equipment.
 As well as how a HoloLens can be used on a highend mocap shoot to help visualize realtime 3D characters on set.

Oh and there may be some 80s & 90s animated gifs :)

Free BVH Viewer from Ben van Basten

A friend of mine, Ben van Basten, just released a free BVH viewer on his site:

http://bvhviewer.developmentinmotion.nl

 

It can display pretty much any BVH file you can throw (including the ones coming from my apps) at it and can be nice to quickly browse through a bunch of files.

Brekel Kinect v0.36 update

This release fixes the glitches that were present in the MotionBuilder streaming. Make sure you also update to the latest version of the MotionBuilder device plugin for that.

It adds a start delay for BVH recording, so you can more easily do recordings when you’re on your own.

And a few minor fixes regarding flipped color image output, and occlusion display in the pointcloud view (red vs white dots)

Enjoy,
