   How profitable could MoCapture be?
  I proposed to my boss today that we should pick up a motion capture system such as MetaMotions's Optical setup. I told him of this website and the huge comunity of people and I said we could sell the data, and some other art services. He really liked the idea, but currently has all his money tied up in real estate. He said to get some information together and he'll look for a investor. So does anyone have any insight on the business? Selling captured motion, renting studio time. Would any of you pay for quality motion capture data? If so, how much is a reasonable cost?I'm located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I'd be willing to write a game object too that handled animation tracks for differnt kinds of entitys. But thats where I get into my second idea, the game company.If I could pull together a full-time paid professional developement team. We'd be a heavy user of the motion data. I think we would do pritty good, because if we are not that great at cutting edge graphics, some really nice/realistic animations in a cell-shaded enviornment has a lot of possibilities.My guy Barry will come through for me. He's supporting my tricycle and well me right now. If anyone knows someone with money its him...   
  The majority of successful MoCap services are entirely mobile, and will generally commute to wherever their clients quite fast. Pick up some copies of Cinefex and take a look at some advertisements in there to get a gist of the competition, and then begin to formulate a basic plan from there.   ;Cool, Never read that magazine looks like good stuff.   ;Quote:Original post by honayboyzcurrently has all his money tied up in real estate. On a side note...he'll probably end up selling off soon. Investing in real estate now is like investing in the stock market in 1928. (disclaimer: statement may be exaggerated)
