Blade Introduction
- THIS IS AN OLDER VERSION
Currently at the Studio in
SCAD-SAV, we are using a passive optical system with 12 Vicon MX
series cameras: MX4 (4 mega pixel) with Vicon Blade 2.6. Our
volume has increased with the new version installed Dec 2013 (by
about one foot all around) since it has less difficulty with
occluded markers.

Note that we now have a new wand and are getting much better
calibration errors (previously we were reaching over .35).
Values around .20 or under are now expected. Recalibrate if your
overall error exceeds .20. (See Camera Calibration for more
details).
Once you have the basic capturing achieved, you can also
try finger capture. Finger capture is much easier now
in Vicon Blade 2.6.
Note that you can clean data in Blade, Motion Builder and
Maya - select the technique you prefer. You are highly
encouraged to use Blade for cleaning up and fixing minor errors
(re-targeting is better done in motion builder).
Streaming now works with Motion Builder
2014 and has been fulled tested.
