Hi!
Got it mine yesterday.
It doesn’t rotate shoulders. I was hoping for more flexibility but it captures from fingers to forearm.

Just connected through an usb port and installed beta drivers.

Still have to figure how to use it with iclone as i’m a new user. 😉

Hi Renderwarrior, how are you getting on with the Leap Motion Controller? I've been thinking about getting one myself. So far I've seen very mixed opinions about it.... ? Is it working for you? Thanks

Hi! Sorry if I'm late, I've been a bit busy!
Well, I've not used it a lot as I'm trying to understand CC3 first, then iClone, and then Maybe I'll try to add animation both with Facial (iPhone) and with Leap Motion.
It works, of course, even if I had some troubles at first.
Actually I'm not really excited about the Leap Motion. It's a cool techy geeky thing, of course, but you cannot rotate shoulders, so you're stitched just to the forearm.
I'm not sure if there's something on iClone where I can move the hand and the program moves everything as I'm pulling the hand of a puppet.
It could be interesting if I place tha camera on the head, having in my view just the forearm (like a FPS game): I think it could give some fun there.
Maybe when I'll learn about attaching animation to the character in iClone, I could understand how attach some Leap Motion mocaps.
I checked some suits, but it's over my budget. So actually my weapons are the apps, the iPhone and the Leap Motion ;)

of course, but is it possible to do that with Motion Leap?
With the mouse or the slides I can move everything, but in my (few) tests wih leap Motion, it seems I can move just forearms/hands/fingers.

not sure. but i believe you could "yank" the avatar around first then use LM. But I agree it'd be cool f it used IK
