now the feature is gone

That's very cool. Would be nice to see what you come up with :)

Bro I'm so curious to see you scene...

@@AlbinThorburn Which scene and what do you want to see ? :)

Thanks for the cool app! Looking forward to seeing how it develops!

Where are the filters?

@@CGDive 4:57 The upper right part of the screen, below Transforms, you activate filters with the white slider, then you set their value between 0 and maximum. I'm not sure how Fomin is different from Beta.

@@llYuki0okami How did I miss this? :] Nice find.

@@llYuki0okami I can no longer find the filter option in the latest update.

Awesome! I'll check out your videos. I tried glb but it seemed to import the characters at a weird angle. So I stuck with the evil I know better (fbx) :P

Yeah, it's in the video. I think they made some sort of a fix for that on the plask side, didn't they? I haven't used the service in a while...

@@CGDive I don't know if there is a fix, I just know that the curser has to be on frame 1 for me for the rest pose to be a T-Pose. I only started Plask it last week. Thanks for making a great video though, learned a lot from this!

hahaha, I can't dance to save my life. I actually thought that guy's dancing was alright :P

Oh cool, is it available somewhere?

@@CGDive It's on the blendermarket, but I can email you a copy for free later, hope you like it.

@@CGSparrow thanks, I'll check it out on BM. What is it called?

@@CGSparrow ah, inverse lock bone, I guess. Will check tomorrow.

@@CGDive Your email? I will email you a copy for free for your great videos.

de nada, amigo!

Thanks! Yeah, I have Patreon because it's popular but honestly, I don't like it that much. Meaning, I don't think the platform provides a great experience for people who are supporting me. This is much better!

@@CGDive Cool... I was on your patreon for awhile... just signed up on Vault. Workflows targeting Unreal has been lacking, you fill the void nicely!

@@jerrybradshaw5409 Thanks, Jerry!

Yeah, they added a price tag. It was kind of expected.

LOL please don't continue that train of thought hahaha

The addon works based on Bone names. Both armatures need to have bones with the exact same names. In the example in the video, I got both armatures from plask so it works. My guess is that you are trying to connect armatures with different bone names which are not supported :) If the bones do have the same names, then it could be a bug/problem. Please send me your blend file for inspection :)

Not sure what you mean, unfortunately. Sorry. You can try to ask on our Discord with images. That might be easier to understand :) discord.gg/YFH5HUv

if you find any solution please let me know

I heard they will introduce paid plans soon. But free plans will be available still.

Yeah, it's no longer free. If the site is slow, check your browser settings for something like "hardware acceleration." and turn it on. Freemocap FTW :P

Could be, we'll see. If they keep it free in the current state, I'd be a happy camper actually :P

Please send them ea message on their website :P But I did hear that they had an increase in traffic and that caused problems with the app. Try it again now.

Still same thing to me, from Italy. 1.40am on 24th of Feb, not working the Export feature. Warning An error occured while exporting the model. If the problem recurs, please send us a message on our website.

@@ernestomarchi2009 I can confirm but I can't do anything about it. I am just a guy who made a video about Plask. I expect it will be fixed soon but I can't promise anything. So I have to stress a part of the error message you're seeing: "please send us a message on our website." :D

@@CGDive Yhyh I know don't worry. Was just to inform the community. Now they fixed it by the way.

Yeah, I haven't used Plask recently so not sure what changed. The bind pose is basically a T-pose or an A-pose. A neutral default pose. It's useful for many workflows. If you export the character before applying a motion, it should be in that pose.

@@CGDiveAh, maybe it renames bindPose to empty motion now

Hi. What didn't work? Do you mean that that bone pairs don't get assigned automatically?

@@CGDive no, I mean, I export the entire rig generated by autorig pro and import it in Plask and it doesn't work ... Should i just export the armature generated by autorig pro ?

@@rgbstudio4881 oh, that won't work for sure. The ARP rig is too complex. What I'd do is use the default plask characters to get the motion, import it into Blender, and target to the ARP rig.

The most basic step that you can take is to copy the first keyframe for all bones to the end of the cycle. That will give you a loop. But it will probably look unnatural so you'll have to edit the poses to make it look good.

I got a walk cycle working from my own video footage of me walking, and brought it on to Blender. It's not perfect, but it worked. You'll need to correct the legs swinging action though and head positioning, spine etc... As they turn out crooked due to the walk in the video being at an angle. The AI Mocap cannot extract the walk data aby other way but crooked if you wish the model to actually walk rather than walk in place. You could get a tread mill though and that would create a far more accurate walk cycle using Plask's AI Mocap. As it would deliver you a far more stable walk in place video extraction. I'm going to invest in a good quality tread mill, or maybe try to create my own in the future just for these AI Mocap tools.

@@virtual_intel This channel has a lot of actual walks on a treadmill :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbyafNSjnam4pIU.html check it out!

@@CGDive I tried that. There was still a noticeable pop at the end that I just couldn't seem to fix.

@@binyaminbass Hey, I'd be interested to check out your file and see if I can fix it. I am planning to make videos about such problems so it could be a nice exercise and I could help you in the process. To get in touch: cgdive.com/contact

Did you select the bones you want to bake?

Keep it up. 3d is hard!

Not sure, sorry. Blender doesn't work with bip or any 3ds max tools directly.

Yeah, check out my Retargeting Playlist. There is no need to watch all videos if you are familiar with retargeting in general. The Complete Guides to Rokoko or Auto Rig Pro contain info about retargeting to Rigify kzfaq.info/sun/PLdcL5aF8ZcJux9f5Bvb1QlByiHWTK3ICP

It should be in Retarget Helper. Did you try it?

No idea what you mean :) How do you put a mannequin in another body?

For animals? Plask can only extract human motion.

frighteningly plausible :)

You don't unzip it. Here is a video on how to install addons kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arSegNFomdulZqM.html

Thanks for the comment. I hope you understand that I can't do much about that :D Either the video wasn't valid or the site is not functioning. Get in touch with the people from Plask!

You likely have Scale keyframes on the armature in Object model. Delete them, and you'll be able to scale it freely.

I have no idea what kind of cloth that is, sorry. Could be a million reasons.

"Weird" is not something I can analyze and offer help with :) I haven't tested it will long videos, to be honest. I would suggest contacting Plask Support about that. They are very nice.

there is www.kinetix.tech/ I think it's still free but it may go the same path as Plask, we'll have to wait and see. Plask still offers some free 30 seconds a day. That's not too bad. :)

No idea :) AI mocap does not create good results every time...

Are they? It's probably just the model...

​@@CGDive hehe ye, if i compair with the default rig from ue4. Importing this animation you just made here, to ue4, to work with the default ue4 mannequin, do we need to do another retarget for that? ( i think this one is missing the rootbones from the default one)

@@RDD87z I think the Plask skeleton is not compatible with the actual Mannequin. Some sort of retargeting will be needed, most likeley.

I believe they split it into two websites. So now plask is just for mocap and the other one is for image generation.

I haven't used Plask recently. The one I like right now is Rokoko Video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9NnaKymuKidnYk.html

@@CGDive than you

It was fully free when I made the video. Then they introduced the pricing. I expected this to happen so I think I said something like "free for now" somewhere in the video.

@@CGDive oh for sure. I don't blame you, just making sure no one goes in with wrong expectations.

@@vamuse Yeah, thanks! I just added some info about that in the info box and a pinned comment.

Not sure why, sorry. You should get in touch with the app devs.

did you watch 17:34 ? Retargeting to Mixamo would be exactly the same. I have more in-depth tuts about retargeting with rokoko and Auto-Rig Pro .

@@CGDive when i am put animation on my rig in plask ai the rig move upward with wierd animation

18:34 is all I have to say about that.

The addon is installed as any other addon. I just made a video about that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arSegNFomdulZqM.html Did you install the Zip file?

17:34 :)

not sure if I understand. The addon is here gumroad.com/a/286676083/NNQRs Are you unable to download it or use it? Include as much information as possible, otherwise I can't help.

I haven't tried it since the credits were introduced. Not a good look if credits are not consistent.

@@CGDive I think the site is broken. I managed to get a capture when i did go somewhere way below the 900 credits in use. My 30 seconds became 3 seperated captures, but the 3rd one didn't wanted to work. I can't use all credits that i have got left. And with every capture, the less it let me use the credits i have.

@@MrGTAmodsgerman I'd get in touch with the app owners/developers.

Not sure. If you render a 3d character as a 2d sprite then it might be possible.

Sounds too hard to calculate 😂 Plask is not that precise at this stage.

Probably too hard to calculate, but you could just modify the animation or where the chair is in the scene or something within blender instead.

You mean making the legs look stable on the ground, right? To make that look really well you need IK controls. Either retarget to an IK rig or use something like Rig on the Fly which can generate temporary IK easily, I'll have tutorials about that this year.

Plask to Humanoud... OK, I'll make a note about it.

@@CGDive thx

30 FPS, resolution is not essential. Read their documentation, it has a section about video setup.

@@CGDive I see. I checked their docs and dont see anything on outfits. Is there a best outfit to wear that makes the AI best capture joints?

@@EvolvedSurvival I'm not an expert but I think you should avoid loose clothing. Also make sure the color of you cloths is different than the background.

I am not familiar with vmd, sorry. I know it's part of the mmd stuff which I am not familiar with either. So happy googling and let me know if you find something :)

Sorry, which one?

Clearing all transforms brings the rig to Rest Position. So that's not going to help 🙂

@@CGDive yeah but what pose is that actually. Since most rigs use either A- or T-pose. It's weird this had that awkward pose. So clearing rotation sets it to that fighter stance, that's really weird.

Perhaps especially when you use their app to rig an upload, it also starts in either a or T-pose. Kinda weird it exports in a different oose. But then again, perhaps that's due to how blender imports something

@@RomboutVersluijs not every app has the same concept of rest pose as Blender. So guess something gets mixed up in the export process. Glb actually exports the rest pose correctly but it had other problems. There may be a better workflow but that's what I found.

@@CGDive yeah that was sort of the same i was thinking of. Still wonder if that app actually exports a tpose or apose. But since you said glfb does have it. Could be couple other issues. I'm not familiar with how other apps interpret a tpose when importing a armature or rig

It looks decent to me but I have to say that I haven't tested for that in particular. The service is free and fast. Test it :)

Not sure, sorry. Ask the app devs :)

Arms crossing means that the Rest poses are different :) Are you using Rokoko?

yeah I am using rokoko I have changed the pose of the plask rig to A pose and use current pose while retargetting as mentioned in ur previous video of retargetting

@@CGDive I can share the file in discord or anywhere u want Plz help

@@coolhighlights1380 YT had flagged your comments as spam, sorry. Yes you can share on Discord :9

Except?

No, I think that's somewhere in my bookmarks tho. Have you?

@@CGDive Not yet but I shall try it soon

@@davidcripps3011 I tried it quickly after reading your comment. Take with a grain of salt since I only tested with two videos ... but Plask seems better (a lot better), at this point at least.

@@CGDive That was quick! I had the same initial impression

@@davidcripps3011 There is this as well: cgtinker.gumroad.com/l/rotom I haven't tried it yet.

No idea. 😆

Haha, mr Mannequin is everywhere.

Do you have Hardware Acceleration option on in your browser?

@@CGDive where to see that? Im using chrome browser

@@CGDive thank you youre a life saver done tweaking h.a on settings!

@@FengWei149 did that solve the performance issues?

@@CGDive yes thank you!it is smooth but exporting take a bit long. But its ok now than before

Here is my tutorial about retargeting with Rokoko kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hN-omMVlndO5lqc.html

Depends on the rig you downloaded :)

@@CGDive Like character rigs?, PS , Is plask free?
