Free & Easy Mocap with Rokoko Video & Blender Tutorial 

They need stop calling everything AI.

just don't tell our bosses, mine thinks most of my animations are still handmade

@@unnoficialsatan741 absolutely. You're definitely not getting paid enough for how much work you do as I'd I'm sure. Might as well make the job as automatic for you as you can.

@@RomboutVersluijs right this is like, 1 part physics simulation 1 part kinematics calculation 1 part some other third thing

Thanks a lot man … appreciate it

Thank yoU!!

Our pleasure!

Legit though

its free...

Have fun!

Thank you! You too! LOVE U!!!! will be making more

Uploading first thng tomorrow mate :)

Heyy brother the unreal tutorial u requested is out! Enjoy

Hey brother sorry the video wiill be up in 2 hours ... the 4k is being processed :)

@@badxstudio Wheeeeeeeew!! Thank you!

@@jamesonvparker no problem broski

LOVE U!

Glad you like it!

Thnxx

Thank you susant! Uploading the export to metahumans in the next video for unreal engine!

@@badxstudio Best of Luck 🤞 I will watch it

i haven't tried this yet but perhaps once you've got a working rig in, rename all the bones to match with the ts4 rig & copy the rig action over though i see you made this comment a year ago, i'm looking to do the same thing so let me know if you found your own solution or have anything to let me know before i try it myself ^^

Love yaaa

Hey man thnx for letting me know yeah that was because i added a copyrighted music

Vous avez deja essaye rokoko video?? De rien

Glad it helped u man! Just be aware that this is still as of Dec 2022 not going to beat the fidelity of a suit! However I bet with the rapid tech advancement in AI we believe soon it just might :D

Heyyy so it really depends which platform you are speaking of! Because all these different export settings from Rokoko essentially use the same animation but use different bone names and joints. For instance the bonelist of a mixamo rig is different of one that is Unreal Engine mannequin both of which rokoko export is capable of. For this tutorial we used mixamo export and rigs because thats free and most people are accustomed to it. So in conclusion I guess i wanna know which platform you are trying to export to and also why do you have to do bvh? fbx should work fine in most places :)

​@@badxstudio Some issues you may fix by manually renaming bones, and software like maya and blender have features that make this process easier. This usually is something like: change every "_L" into a ".L" or use numbers with 3 digits instead of two. So I would say: 1- Learn the nomenclature for rigs used in the software you are exporting into. 2- Get familiar with the renaming tools of your software. 3- Make sure you are exporting from Blender in a correct format (i.e.: a format that the other software can read and that can contain animations).

same issue

found the solution immediately after lol. if anyone had this issue, i just checked CURRENT for Use Pose instead of REST, found right above the retarget animation button

hahahhah sorry we saw this late but glad u figured it out :D We've been there before were we put it on rest and LOOKED FOR HOURSSSSS trying to figure it out :D hahahhahaha

I have no idea but I know Corridor Digital does it. Also, I bet the solution is to search for the correct plug in in Blender which can translate the info from arkit. Other thing to keep in mind: Human body rigs tend to be pretty similar from one app to another. Face rigs tend to be more custom, so you might find that your model's face simply cannot be animated, or the arkit controls don't even begin to coincide with the face rig you have in your model. Disclaimer: I replied on a few comments of this video. This is the first one that is pure speculation.

Technically, yes. But: Usually a walk cycle is a loop. The video might be a loop too, in that case it might be easy to tweak the animation keyframes by hand so the final product loops. Though, none of the software pieces used in this video "thinks" that you are actually making a loop. So, you probably have to tweak things by hand anyway. Keep in mind: the techniques shown in this video are super cool, especially in the case that you cannot find a pre-made animation that suits your project. But Mixamo (one of the webs shown in this vid) has loads of animations, some of them are walk cycles. Loops. I know the mocap technique shown here is super quick, but for many cases you can solve your needs even faster: go to Mixamo and search for your walk cycle.

Right?? Thing is they need to make this realtime first

​@@badxstudioWell, do I have some news for you. Xranimator and warudo BOTH use Google's media pipe to do full body motion tracking in real time. And with a couple of blender plugins, you could theoretically make it work in blender in real time. Dollars mocap made a couple videos on this, but since it's using the VMC protocol, which both of the aforementioned programs support, you could theoretically use either one.

Hahahaha why 3 hours? Do you need help? Ask any questions if u need :)

@@badxstudio i was talking about the whole installation process, downloading models but i tried it on a model but the movement is not as exact ,the hands are crossing the body from middle and i dont know the error of repetition of bone use in the bone list where can i show you ?

@@kartiksaxena2515 Good luck! Also, maybe try to do just a few steps of the process: Make sure you're able to import and export fully rigged and animated models from Mixamo. If everything works, come here again and try to go over the full process!

U mean in rokoko studiio software?

Well percy tbh the technology is available for FREE which is why its nuts ... iits current state is not meant to replace the way you animate but to speed it up by giviinig you the main keyframes so you can do the in-betweens. however do check out MOVE AI also if you really are curiiious about where the tech is going :)

Are you saying that the animation u get from your video is fine in the ROKOKO STUDIO but when you bring it to blender it messes up?

Is this in the rokoko studio software? It could possibly be due to the fact that your input video was not optimal .. lighting, your clothes, your movement and all that matter! even video qualiity ... But nonetheless you can always clean up the animation within blender ... should we do a video of that?

@@badxstudio That would be greatly appreciated!

@@nando3d Sure we will put that iin the plans

What kind of error?

You can easily tidy up the animation by changing the key frames inside of Blender

Lol its super easy now :D

Im glad it did brother

@@badxstudio blender

@@funnyslimworld1487 Oh then this tutorial should be just fine for ya! Only saying because importing to unreal is a lil more difficult and we are releasing a tutorial specifically for that too! Thought you might be interested

Hmmm not sure why that is happening for you? Did you try hitting the N button and looking on the tabs on the right? if that doesnt work maybe try to download a different version of blender and install the addon again?

@@badxstudio me bad i frogot to enable it

U mean after u get it from mixamo? if you have the original character then just bring iit side by side then click the white one and then shift click the original one and use CNTRL + L .. then copy materials :) if u need to just look for how to copy materials on utube

@@badxstudio I am vacation right now and didn't bring my Laptop, but I will try it once I'm back. That's a great suggestion, thank you man!

Well you can imagine how much this could help in pre-vis or storyboarding alone where you want to just pitch an idea of animation but dont want to actually hand animate everything! Not to mention AI technology is one that grows every single day so one can only imagine how this will turn out to be in 1 year time. The point here is that Rokoko is making an effort to democratize mocap and make it free and accessible where many companies charge for the same service.

@@badxstudio One year is too fast but 5 years more than realistic

It’s probably because of the baggy clothing and the background not being simple.

Sure thing! Will definitely consider that :D

Well the one from MOVE AI actually does beat out many mocap tools out there with just a few cameras. Now in the case of a free tool like this, it's not meant to replace manual animation, but rather help with the blocking phase so you have a base to begin with and then you can go ahead and add your own flavour to it. At least this is what we've found from our experiences :)
