Do you think the ai motion capture (move.ai) produces better quality than Xsens yet?

Love your transparency and willing to test things for us who are planning on investing in our own setups man! PRiceless resource.

Just a nice comment to push the algorithm! Thanks for making the video :) Very funny intro!! hahah

Great video han! Good to see someone reviewing these with the highest quality benchmark set for their work. Most people i see are somehow doing a ton of cleanup after posting 6k for tech like this and i feel the same way as you. If you are paying that much, the tech needs to deliver a lot more. Looking forward to the ai solutions. Hopefully they are cheaper and accurate.

I really need to get my own mocap suit. Also crazy that cod keyframed that whole anim sequence. If we didnt have mocap idk how we wouldve finished all those cinematics in time haha

Would love to see your tutorials as you do it all in UE etc… Even if you do courses, I would like to pay something for it! your videos just amaze me!

Han - Thanks so much for testing this gear for us. This is tremendously helpful for us content creators.

I've been on a similar journey from XSens + Manus Prime 1, then Prime 2 and ended up selling all of that and replacing it with a small OptiTrack setup + Quantum gloves. Having the reliability and volumetric accuracy from the optical system means 'high fives' are possible and you'd have a much better grip on props etc - see what Matt Workman does with his Vicon setup. I've had other thoughts about having tracking points on the finger tips and using those as a post-capture corrective 'ik' weight to help keep the gloves spatially precise.... I'll see how that goes!

Great content Han! Really well made video.

~4:56 I can't tell the if the right one is real footage or in engine if I don't pay attention to the fingers! Not only is the mocap data so clean, but the absolutely amazing scene you've setup is just on whole another level

awesome info, really appreciate it.

TY for make this tutorial really 🙏🏽 i love your content 👏🏼 Hope i can learn more info on the next video TY again

Thanks for your perspective. The end user experience matters as the cost doesn't necessarily produce all the value needed from a production standpoint.

This is very entertaining!

This is a great video and i always be interested in other mocap solution. Thank you also for your honesty and your integrity. I really enjoy all your content and you are a wonderfull indie director. Hope you are working on a new production :)

Fantastic review and overall conclusion, I also have the Xsens body and Manus 1 gloves system and am creating cinematic pre-vis and short film projects and Im finding that the body motion capture with the Xsens suit is really very good and quality is up to standard but the finger and face capture ( using various different solutions) always falls short and you end up having to adjust and adapt the way you tell the story and shoot the scenes due to the weaknesses in these elements of the mocap pipeline. Im hopeful that the new faceware portal is going to improve face capture and still looking for a good finger capture solution.

Which motion capture solution do you currently prefer?

Would the hand tracking of a Quest 3 be able to help with capturing/animating hand data?

more animation content please!

Thanks for very complex text and honest option. I really wonder your option about move ai

Great video!!

I notice at the time 5:00, you can previz the gun's mechine motion without any tracking module, how can you reach that?

any updates on ur search for the best gloves or mocap suit? lov the honestly of the vid, so really curious if ur opinion has changed

Great video, Han, Have you tried Perception neuron? I would be very curious to see how they preform against Xsens and the other competitors. Cheers!

Please which toy gun or prop were you using for motion capture 4:00. I need one for my upcoming short film 📽️

I went all in on the Awinda, the Metagloves, and the Standard Deviation Helmet for iPhone facial capture. I am super impressed by Xsens! I agree with you on the gloves: good, accurate, but SUPER fragile and choppy if you obstruct the view. The facial mocap, however, is abysmal! Do you have any advice? I am using stylized cartoony characters and nothing comes even close to the range of expression that I need, not to mention that lip sync looks like garbage. I tried Faceware - meh. AccuLips in iClone...better, but it restricts the face...

hans i rememebr you used to have a course but i cant seem to find it. Is it still around?

Can I recieve from you the name of this camera you use on your head while capturing the animation of hand? I'd like to read more about this stuff and get into animating so this is kinda important for me.

Hi, really interested in this content, so how do you manage hands now, given that you concluded that it might not be worth purchasing any of the available gloves as of now if one holds high standards about the animation. What’s your work flow in regards to the hands part of the animation? Would really appreciate your response!

Thanks for this - you returned the stretchsense gloves? Not good? Any pointers there ? Also, moveai for hand motion? Pretty cool. Did you manage yet?

Hello, thank you for your video! But doesn't xsens HD reprocessing automatically solve the mocap problems of xsens gloves?

the man!

curious, what didn't you like about stretchsense? For me its the most accurate capture solution when working with props so far.

Hello! My group and I are currently working on a “Star Wars Revan Malachor V” fan film and while looking around I stumbled upon your epic video. I was thinking some of the stuff you did here could be applied really well to our fan film. Would you be open to talking on discord or somewhere about working in some minor or major capacity on this project?

Great video! Please do make videos about an AI workflow! I also tested a couple of gloves and got similar results: just not great results. But AI might definitely be a solution. So yes, please do make videos about AI Workflow, thanks :)

Thanks for making the vid. Here's my story: I bought 2 pair of stretchsense. For slow, regular movement I found them OK, but when dancing - yikes! crazy jitter, espcially for sudden stop. For fast accurate, complex movement, just not there - inaccurate and drift. Also, the motionbuilder integration is an absolute nightmare, mostly because there is no way to change the start frame to zero, so the starting frame is set to the dawn of man. OK, not that long in the past, but literally in the millions of frames. Oh - and the Annual subscription, just got a bill, $2980 USD. (Anybody want a pair of inexpensive stretchsense gloves?!). One positive is they have great customer service. The Rokoko gloves look better in online demos, actually - for 5 times less money. On Xsens Body suit - when I first got mine, it was pretty good, but on their last update we couldn't even get a calibration going. (The one where they ask you to walk in a circle.) Not sure if my sensors are old, or if the new update was crappy. I've never had good range of more than a few steps. In one capture last year we actually walked near the talent with the Awinda Station Anyway, wasted $5k CAD on a license that we used for six weeks that was a constant fight to work with. Not happy.

Hello man! For simulating the cloth what is your workflow? I'm having a hard time deciding what to learn and have the best quaility! Thank you!

hi mr. han. can unreal engine 5 put together with rtx 4090 work together to make something as good as Avatar 2 ?

Please do review Move Ai!!!

🔥🔥🔥

Great info! They definitely seems extremely expensive for what they are. Makes sense to invest more in the suits. I spotted you have both the Link and Awinda Xsens kits - can I ask do you notice a difference in quality between them? I'm considering which one to purchase...

I also thought that those gloves would really push Manus a step ahead from StretchSense....but oh boy, for 6k I expected much more than this. Since I had multiple issues with the old gloves ( broke down after few weeks ) I'm super worried about the very flimsy cables from the fingers tip to the hand, since I suppose that if they get caught somewhere, it will rip out the electronics, but I hope I'm wrong. Thanks for the video, I think that with that 6k you can invest in something else :D

hey, nice comprehensive ... what about perception neuron? PN studio pro ...

What about using Vicon, an optical mocap for hands?

Stretchsense gloves are much better. The manus gloves have way less sensors and have tension that doesn’t let your hand rest naturally

Hello sir, can you tell me what softwares you used for your first cgi scene?

MetaGlove should be ashamed. As a part time hobbyist robotics engineer, I'm almost encouraged to design my own mocap gloves after seeing these in action, just to prove that it can be done for much less $ and deliver sub 5mm precision, especially since output requirements aren't even real-time, such as would be with finger tracking in VR.

Is your name Han? 한국 분이세요?

$6000? that's a deal breaker if it doesn't work properly
