Open source motion-capture software

Question

Is there any open source software to map points on the human body to a simulated 3D model? Something like they do in some movies to map the movement of actors onto 3D models. What do they use? Are there any open initiatives for a wider audience in this domain?

Answer 1

There is a Open Source Motion Capture Software Project from UFMG, in Brasil, which can be downloaded here https://github.com/davidflam/OpenMoCap
