Hi all,
have someone there using zigntrack2, and he is having success?
I bought this and bought a C920 HD webcam (Logitech), and I'm at the stage of creating the balls to stick to the face (markers), the problem is that none of the balls that I created work ...
I need to know what type of glue to glue the balls on my face ...
thank

    I don't think you are supposed to stick the balls directly to your skin. Take a look here, the balls are sewn on bodysuits and caps.

    Jorge,

    Two things to try:

    1. Check the manual; here's some info from page 7. (emphasis mine)
    A good
    option is to use painted polypropylene
    beads. A quick search on the Internet
    should give you enough addresses for
    suppliers. You may have to paint them
    yourself.
    You can glue these beads to the face using special latex
    adhesive. You can find this latex skin bond adhesive in party
    make up stores.     Do not use latex adhesive if you have a latex
    allergy. There are some alternatives for latex adhesives in make
    up stores, like silicone based adhesive. Do not use any other

    2. Ask in Zign Creations support area: http://www.zigncreations.com/support.php

    Good luck.

    Hi everyone!
    Unfortunately, so far not getting hit with Zign Track2, even with the assistance of support Zign Creations: Luuk.
    I'm sticking to four days and taking off balls (bullets) in my face, and technical support helping me ... But I kind of got tired of it ...
    I have Mimic Pro, but Doctor pitterbill, Dr.Watson, Shtirlec, Joefarm not work in Mimic Pro.
    All I wanted was a facility to animate the face of the characters quickly, and practice. I just want my characters has expressions of anger, pain, hate, joy, as they talk.
    Someone mentioned here in the forum: Brekel, I'm looking at this, have a shopBrekel plugim capture mocap face, using a kinect sensor ... I'll look and maybe I'll go for it ...

    When I had my 32 bit system, I had work hard at getting it to work. I tried all kinds of markers. The little poofy balls attached with eyelash glue worked but could never get a good read on them. I have a new computer with a 64 bit system and a powerful graphics card but have been more interested in playing with ipisoft then Zign Track. I will eventially give it another go. At this point, it was a waste of money. I'm glad I got it for half price at CP!

    You can make your own phonemes for a character using mimic pro, there are tutes all over, here's one

    PS reflectivity is a major issue using small markers, more reflect is better unless your camera is auto adjusting for changes in exposure. Is it?

    Yes, my camera's automatic setting, but the technical assistance of zigntrack, told me to turn off everything that was automatic, but still not solved my problem.
    Mimic Pro ... Problem with this is that it gives error when opening the face of some 3d models
    the error is this image (Mimic Pro)

    Never seen that error message. Do you know which channels are affected by references to multiple groups? If you do you might be able to male a definitions file that doesn't reference them. (It is very unusual for a mocap rig to output nothing at all ?)

    Hi,
    Now I was looking at some stores, the price of kinect ... The sensor kinect for windows, this almost 3 times more expensive than the kinect sensor, xbox360.
    is the kinect sensor for xbox will not work on your computer?

    Jorge, ¿tuviste exito con el ZignTrack? Estoy pensando en comprarlo pero tengo mis dudas, no he visto muchas evidencias de que sea funcional. ¿Cómo resolviste tu problema de la animación facial para los personajes?

  • jorge dorlandojorge dorlando Posts: 1,159

    Hello SINANIMACION,
    no, I did not had any success with Zigntrack, and there was still the need to fill the markers face, and it did not work for me, but you may have worked for others here ... They should manifest itself at some point.
    At the time, I found the BrekelProFace, which does not use markers on the face, movements are captured by the Kinect sensor, and you create templates for poser numbers

    I have not been at it for a long time, I'm working on something else, but I will still go back to the animation project, but not for now ...
    After those days there was an application called IkinemaWebAnimate, it appears that currently have changed the application name ... Let me see that I speak to you.
