    They better be wrong.

    @Grey_Area: R.O.A.C.H.: As someone who lives in the state with the longest name, I have to ask why everything is always said to the size of Rhode Island? If it isn't chunks of ice breaking off the ice caps, it's meteors heading toward earth, tropical storm masses, oil spills, the amount of rainforest in various South American countries deforested every day/week/month - Is Rhode Island some kind of universal base measurement unit for all larger than easily measurable objects in the universe?


    Do people even have any idea how large Rhode Island is? I;ve found most people who've never lived in RI are suprised to find out how small it really is so it this just a way to make something sound much larger than it really is?


    ps. Nothing personal Grey_Area, your comment just reminded me of all the news reports I've heard where things were described as being the size of RI.

    @vinylrake: You are a touchy little people, aren't you? To be fair, "a sea urchin the size of Delaware" just sounds stupid.

    Delaware never gets compared to anything and that's just a bit sad.

    They're not for motion capture they're tracking dots. You guys have the basic idea but those are for tracking motion in 2d in compositing to place the other parts of the suit that need to be rendered. He's wearing the top bit and the hands because those would be the toughest areas to integrate with the plate(the live action image). Also it's better if he wears part of the suit in the plate so there's good reference. It's not that it's cheaper or not as good as mocap, it's really a completely different thing. That's the way you do it.

    @MrSpyder: that probably explains the lines, to show orientation and angle of the surface, and not just tracking dots to show movement.
