Reading this after getting the anker battery….🤬

With Rokoko, you would basically do a better job of cleaning up the MOCAP than I did. I was a bit heavy handed with this clean up because it was my first time really. I would probably filter a bit less on the first pass and try to use more of the raw performance. MOCAP clean up is it's own art.

@@CinematographyDatabase oh ok 🤩 I was thinking if you cut out every second frame , and applied motion blur it might also work🤔. It's almost slow motion but still so awesome 🤩 have you thought of doing music videos too? Virtual production is the entire future of the media industry🤩🤩

How did it went? Did you manage to finish your wearable? I am also developing a full body system of my own. I know it is 1y later, but regarding the router, any dedicated router should suffice. Also the internet connection is not required (should actually be avoided) as only the wlan is necessary to connect to the sensors.

@@dimeland2 Hi, I'm having some issues with my router is there somewhere we could talk I'd like to ask you some questions if you don't mind

I’ve heard the C4D retargeting is pretty easy too with the Retarget tag. UE is more complicated in general compared to DCCs because it’s a game engine / real time. It isn’t simply baking data to curves/key frames. It took me a while to get comfortable with this workflow but most MOCAP to UE look exactly the same.

@@CinematographyDatabase thanks for replying. Your meta human combined with the Rokoko mo cap looks amazing though.

yeah I've heard there is a lot of interest in the suits and gloves, so they are a bit back ordered

They are worth the wait, and it’s a small company so I think they are overwhelmed right now (with Covid etc). But the suit and gloves are awesome

I feel you. Waiting for so long already and it keeps getting delayed.

@@CinematographyDatabase They say they're sending like hundreds of suits in a per week basis. I think that's an over exaggeration otherwise it would mean the entire world is now getting rokoko suits xD

@@virtualfilmer I really need them to see how awesome they are ^^'. Right now only got the gloves, but can't do anything serious with just those.

I haven’t used the Perception Neuron system myself.

A year or two ago Rokoko sent me a suit to test out with Unreal Engine. Then I recently got back into MOCAP and they sent me gloves to test with MetaHumans. I see good stuff from the PN team but I’ve never personally used it. Shown in this video, I really like that the face, body, hand data is recorded all together into Rokoko Studio. That is such a simple process compared to recording each separately. Rokoko is also very active in the community and Sam does some great live streams to show how to set it up and shares helpful Blueprints for MetaHumans. Without his initial work I wouldn’t have been able to produce this video.

@@CinematographyDatabase thanks

Those streams are offline now. If you look up MOCAP clean up YT videos they are pretty much all the same process.

Yeah the MH needs to be in a Tpose before the Rokoko LiveLink node. Rokoko should have a nice Control Rig for putting the MetaHuman into a proper Tpose. I made mine from scratch.

Yeah, but then it won’t capture head movement. If the camera is on a desk/stand it can also capture head rotation.

Yeah I’m kind of interested in their coil tech, I haven’t no idea how that works. But I don’t have that system atm.

The iPhone can do the head rotation tracking but in this case the Rokoko head sensor does the head tracking.

Not that I've heard. You have to calibrate correctly, have a reliable way to keep the foot sensor on your foot, use the locomotion 2.0 filters, and then do manual foot contact clean up in Maya/UE/etc.

I recommend Standard Deviation if you are using and iPhone.

I have a dedicated ASUS router that only allows the suit, gloves, iPhone, and Rokoko Studio workstation on it. It does also provide internet, but it's not needed.

@@CinematographyDatabase I have also ASUS and Rokoko, and it wasn’t allowing me to connect suit and gloves until I connected cable from ISP router to ASUS.. now its working as it should..

@@m1sterv1sual ahh thats good to know, I didn't try it without the ISP plugged in.

this one is from Technoprops, I recommend the Standard Deviation one for iPhones. Technoprops isn’t publicly available.

@@CinematographyDatabase $1350 inc counterweight - oooof that’s a lot of cash, considering we end up with AR kit data at the end of it 😂

I think that real time MOCAP like this gets us around 80% towards realism and then GAN/DeepFake will provide tools to get the rest of the way there from the tests that I’ve seen.

Rokoko Studio doesn't have a ROM with prayer pose to try to estimate the correct bone lengths for hand position. It will definitely always require clean up later to hand positions where you want them.

@@CinematographyDatabase exactly. V annoying!

One question is how are you retargeting or are you just directly Bone Mapping? Either way, you need to make sure your animation that you are applying is using the correct source aka the correct skeleton type like Female Medium Normalweight for example or the animation will scale the MetaHuman into odd proportions.

@@CinematographyDatabase Yeah, I am using Character_BoneMap.uasset file provided by Rokoko. But that is for UnrealEngine 4.6 and I am working in UE5. So is there any other way for retargeting or Bone Mapping for UE5?

@@CinematographyDatabase Thanks a lot 👍

Yes. If you use an inertial suit like this though, interactions between the characters won’t really like up.

@@CinematographyDatabase so it's a yes and no with doing a project with two or three people and make a video like that ?

The face systems are separate. Most consumers use an iPhone and a Standard Deviation HMC. High end is Faceware or Facegood.

@@CinematographyDatabase so you put the iphone on the helmet ? does the helmet also have sensors ? where can you buy this head set helmet

This is a Technoprops, but I recommend the Standard Deviation for iPhones

they aren't publicly available. I recommend the Standard Deviation HMC if you are using an iPhone.

@@CinematographyDatabase Awesome tip! Thank you they look exactly like what I was looking for.

@@CinematographyDatabase only the price is confusing. It looks like 100 but costs 1150. Is there anything that has a better value for money that you could also share with us?

those streams are on my VTuber channel - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcdohqVhmLXDk4U.html

Why is it private? 🫠

Character Creator you can choose what pose they export in and or just export the CC3 Tpose and use that in the AnimBP in UE. Retargeting is one of the harder parts of all of this.
