Query – Motion Capture -Irish developer wondering if there is a business case

[Anonymous]

Hello game developers,

as an Irish software developer looking to set up a human motion capture business to provide services to game development companies in Ireland– I would like to know if there is a market for this service. Perhaps you could help with this enquiry?

Do you see game developers requiring motion capture services. eg. Full body motion capture to assist in animation / modelling?

thank you for your time,

I will be interested to see what others say but I would think fairly limited. Maybe a business when combined with the animation and other industries..

I know that this is also done in TCD – at least it is available to students and staff there.

There’s not much development ongoing that would require custom mocap solutions as far as I know but you could possibly offer canned mocap packages like Mixamo https://www.mixamo.com/motions

Also nothing to stop you formatting them and selling them on the Unity or Unreal marketplaces or sites like Turbosquid, but it’d be tough to generate regular income here.

I would say ‘no’ to be honest with you.

Thank you all for your feedback – really appreciate it.

It looks like there is no demand at present – I will do some more research in medical and sports areas to be complete . I now think that this will not be a storng enough idea to base a full time business around.

Pete- thanks for the link to Maximo.

Thanks again for contributing.

Garrett.
