As this week was during the break between Semester One and Semester Two, the group wanted to try book a Motion Capture session, and to get Alex in the suit, as he had not done last session. Everybody turned up to this session to learn how to mark up Alex in the suit. As taught last time, the group ran through the procedure of setting up Vicon iQ and configuring each of the cameras. Since Jack had written a step by step guide of how this was done, this was easily achievable, with a little help from Geoff. The step by step guide can be viewed here:
Step By Step Guide
Alex was put in the suit, and we were shown how to mark him up. There are 52 markers, and are placed evenly around the body. Markers on the left hand side were symmetrical to the right hand side. This video shows where the markers are to be placed:

Once we were familiarised with that, we could continue on the process of the ROM test, cleaning up the data, and then importing to Motionbuilder, attaching the data to a model, and then setting up real-time. This is all explained on the step by step guide.
As this was only our group's second attempt at using Vicon iQ and Motionbuilder, we would need alot more practice, so more sessions will have to be booked.
Since Alex has not finished the character, we had to use an already created model, but as soon as Alex has finished his model of the character, we can use that next time in the MOCAP suite.
