Using Processing, Midi Yoke, Ableton Live and 3D Studio Max Motion Capture Controller, I was able to transmit movement from the WiiChuck to 3D Studio Max via MIDI... May not be useful ^^

very nice, you should take a look at either osculator for the mac (you are using windows right?) or glovepie on windose, with these you can connect the wiimote through bluetooth and translate the signal to any midi value. although I can see that going through arduino was an interesting thing to do. Great work!

Yep, I could have used glovepie, but I wanted to format the data with the Arduino as it's just a test before wiring some servos

Kinda like this -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDSbYY_3yPM

Not really : this way, you can capture events and use it on some prerendered animations, not realtime, so you can have real high quality rendering, etc...

I don't know that arduino can talk whith max!!
melka 3 months ago

It can't, but it can ear MIDI messages... ^^

i mean you combined Processing, Midi Yoke, Ableton Live and 3D Studio Max Motion Capture Controller. how can it possibly not be useful?

You're so right ^^

Good stuff... I'm sure that someone out there has been begging for something like this... what you need to do is figure out how to record camera movement with it.
melka 3 months ago

Thanks. Here I'm controlling the rotations of my objects, but you can control almost any parameters. You just have to assign the Motion Capture Controller to the parameter, like X/Y/Z position of your camera.
I might make some more videos to show what is possible, but right now I'm trying to have 3DS read the serial port without having to use all those MIDI stuff.

surely the next step is to make 3ds create animations based on the realtime movements yopur controlling, a bit like motion capture and character animation setups.

Good work fella
melka 3 months ago

Well, with this setup, I just used the "test" button, but I could have recorded every movement.
I'm currently working with maxscript & dotnet to simplify the process, and I hope I'll be able to release something soon ^^
