Suggestion: CTA5 Webcam Mocap bridge to Iclone
CTA5 is not yet running on my WIN7 bcause of Menu Issues, but a nice feature i can imagine of, could be a CTA5 to Iclone bridge where the facial Webcam Mocap also can be used with Iclone.

hi K_Digital

it is how the data is collected on passing the information on between the two programmes

as you know the motion link from iclone works well but you want it to do it the other way round as from animator 4 or 5

well here's my diagram explaining as to why a one way pass.

What i meant is sending cta5 webcam motion data into Iclone in order for cta5 users to use a webcam for facial mocap in Iclone without purchasing external mocap softare.

hi K_Digital

pleased to see you have got your motion working again see picture on link

as for tracking it is built into animator 4 & 5

please see picture

tip work on one character at a time because the complexity would be enormous.

CTA5.22 is now working on WIn7 (was a phyton 3.8 issue)


Another suggestion i would like to make, how about programming something like "Video to mocap" where instead 
of a camera any video can be tracked. This should open 2 important ways for mocap:

1- You dont have the camera in the face while recording/editing, meaning you could pre record a video
2- Use typical motions from other people in your project for more realistic character specific animations
