PeelSolve Demo Release Candidate 1

Feb 8, 2006

For more information about this software please visit http://www.mocap.ca/
or email solver@mocap.ca

This software is for evaluation use only and is provided "as-is".
Commercial use including use in production is prohibited.. Please see
Licence.txt for more information.

The aim of this solver is to provide the highest possible fidelity
solve of motion capture point cloud data on to a skeleton of the
same proportions as the capture subject. This skeleton can then be used
to drive a mesh or retargetted to a character rig. This software does
not provide a solution for retargetting data on to a rig of different
proportions.

Is is not always trivial to get a good looking solution, particularly if
the capture subject and target model are different proportions; if the
joint centers are not in the correct place artifacts can occur. A
limitation of providing a high fidelity solution is that the skeleton
rig has to be similar to the capture subject. Modification to the
position of the joint centers will often help to reduce artifacts
in the result.


For instructions on how to use this software, view help.html or visit
http://www.mocap.ca/howtosolve_trialversion.html

This release will not expire by design, but does not have all the
features of the full release version, including:

- Joint stiffness, to stop joints from wobbling around when driven
by less than two markers (e.g. neck and spine).

- Translation degree of freedom, allowing a joint to translate along
the axis of its length

- Translation stiffness, so stop a joint from growing too far

- Marker weighting, to give markers more influence than others

- Skeleton calibration for helping to find accurate joint centers

The plugin provided just provides the core solver to illustrate the
functionality and capabilities of the solve. For users that do not
have a large mocap pipeline already established, this plugin can
provide a solution from marker cloud directly on to the character
rig with minimal setup.

Please purchase a copy of this software and support its development
and development of other products such as a retargetting solver.
