Remove metallic items such as change, belts, phones, jewelry and so on, as they can interfere with the magnetic sensors in the suit and damage them. I recommend wearing comfortable clothing, such as jeans and T-shirt. A poorly placed sensor can do strange things to the way your characters behave. The first thing I'd like to discuss is putting on the suit and how to position the sensors correctly.

To follow this tutorial, you'll need to have Axis Neuron, iClone 6 and the Perception Neuron plugin for iClone installed. There will be some useful tips that can further enhance your mocap performance as well. We'll be covering how to put the suit on, configuring the Axis Neuron software, and how to clean up the animations within iClone. This guide will show you how to use it and get the best possible results for your videos.

They've recently joined forces with Reallusion to bring mocap to iClone, and I've been putting it to good use in my upcoming project, Star Wars: Imperials. Perception Neuron from Noitom is a great piece of hardware that finally makes motion capture affordable for home users and small studios.

Award-winning animator Damien Valentine uses Reallusion's iClone6, Perception Neuron and Axis Neuron to create motion captured 'Star Wars' animation.
