hello.

I noticed that some mocap softwares like fastmocap or ipisoft can manage 360 ° full body rotation, using kinect sensor.
Do you think it may be possible for iclone's plugin ?

Thank you

No, or at least "not very well."

RL's Kinect plugin doesn't even work well for just regular facing work -- the feet slide and are VERY problematic.  Honestly, I couldn't recommend it for anything (iPisoft, on the other hand, works VERY well, and even just the basic version (Express) works well, although not for rotations (I have the "Basic" version which even in a single Kinect mode handles rotates very well indeed).

Unfortunately, there are no really cheap mocap solutions (iPisoft's comes the closest, but you are just renting the software so it *could* add up -- I still have about 16 months left on my own license and when it ends I'll probably reup for another three years, depending on what's available at that time).

Ok thank you for all these informations.

it's a pity there is no intermediate solution between kinect and neuron...

Well, as I said, I think the solution is iPisoft.  I've tried at least three (bought a couple) and iPisoft not only works, it works well.  To me it's even easier (better) than the Neuron (at least folks complain A LOT about cleanup, and the iPisoft has the best autocleanup I've seen, making motions look great right after processing).  It's almost exactly price-wise between RL's dirt cheap solution and the hardware solution and, if you can live without rotations, you can get it even cheaper.

At the very least, if you have a Kinect, you ought to try the demo.  It convinced me, and I'm glad I bought it (and unless a far cheaper mocap suit comes along in another year or so I'll reup for another three year subscription).
