Re: Motion Control Camera

I was trying to remember the name of that company (Kuper) but got it
mixed up with Kluber (the oil and lube company) :)

Anyway, I started out doing 3D design and animation with 3D Studio MAX
and it was partly the ability to use it with camera control and motion
capture systems that made me realise there was potential to also use
MAX for CNC machine control and digitising.
So if anyone wants to use the CNC Toolkit that I developed for my 5-
axis CNC machining for their camera and animation work then that would
take things full circle.
