Folks,

I'm currently testing the HIVE/Orion hardware/software mocap solution, and with no clean up whatsoever of the capture it looks pretty terrific in iClone (not "live" but I don't need live).  However, it doesn't do hands, and I'm becoming aware that hands are kind of important.  So I look at the PN and think, well, that has both hands and fingers, and is priced *similar* (it's a bit more expensive initially and then becomes cost effective after a year or two).  But I hear lots of folks talk about "jitter" in their captures, and I do NOT want to deal with that.  Or much, at least.  So I'm wondering -- what is your experience with it and if you do not get the smoothness you want how do you deal with it?  (Running the curve editor in iClone is a non-starter -- that's a ridiculously long and laborious solution).

I come from the iPisoft mocap which was buttery smooth but a PITA to setup and use (but, as I said, the captures were as natural and smooth as real motion could be).  I don't want to be stepping backwards, and worse comes to worst I'll live with using the Leap controller for my hands/fingers, but if the PN is viable perhaps I can go that route.  But I need to make up my mind relatively soon, so any help would be appreciated.
