Introduction
Vicon Blade is the newest software from Oxford Metrics; it takes the pipeline from marker capture all the way to a retargetted skeleton applied to a character - whereas Vicon IQ will only produce a kinematic model that needs to be applied to a character. Vicon Blade permits the editing of animation following the fitting to the kinematic model, which is more powerful and allows the correction of animation at all levels - this means we can export a direct FBX file that can be imported into Maya directly
This section is broken down into a step-by-step guide which follows the essential path to capturing and editing a person's movements, and a tabs section which describes each of the tabs at the top and provides information on each window
