Anybody want to do some mocap?

Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area who is fully vaccinated and that is interested in doing some mocap? Let's use each other to stay focused, motivated and learning.

I have:

Two PN Pros and one XL textile garment.

1 Xsens Awinda with a S, M, and L textile garment

iPiSoft Pro with two Azure Kinects

2 HTC Vives with 4 2.0 lighthouses and 10 trackers

Rubber mats for a 20' x 20' area with curtains

Since I can't get the GPUs I want anyway, I'll soon have a PN Studio + gloves and I plan to get PeelSolv, which I understand can solve BrekelSoft data to an armature.

I've got more equipment than I've got time to learn how to use, so if some enterprising and technical minded individual could step in an learn how to calibrate and use the equipment, spoon feed me and motivate me to do more of the hard part :), I'd be happy to be your operator while you capture for your own projects in return.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I've also got a Houdini tool that isn't perfect, but does a reasonable job to retarget most of that data to G8Ms and G8Fs as well as Maya, but my MoBu license expired and I'm not going to renew it.

    I wish I could mo-cap things, seems like so much fun. but LA is a bit long flight.

    Dang, if I didn't have to move back home because of COVID, I'd totally have come over as I was in Studio City. I honestly don't know if and or when I'm moving back (it's hard to justify the cost now that I've been out of LA almost a year, like my car insurance went from 320 a month to 66 for the same policy on the same car) but I will be in town to visit friends at some point. I'll let you know when that happens as it would be awesome to meet you in person after talking with you here the past year and check out some mocap goodness!

    I agree, that'd be nice. Consider it a standing offer.
