I hate how actually good informative videos like this one are super low view count and extremely hard to find but all the god awful videos are the thing that pops up 99% of the time. Pure straight forward, easy to understand, not sponsored

This was an amazingly comprehensive video! Very nice!

You might consider reducing the music level. It can sometimes be difficult to hear since the music competes with your voice.

This is an excellent resource, thank you! Interesting one that I've seen being mentioned is Haritora X, might be worth a look as a low cost / lower quality option. There really isn't a lot of good content on this stuff out there so appreciate it.

Soooooooo well done! Great overview, packed with golden gems and super entertaining ta'boot.

Amazing video! Very comprehensive and accurate: I totally agree with all the information here. I think iPhone and Leap Motion is the best set up for a VTuber: so convenient. Also, thanks for the shout out! Once you get your tundra trackers, I think you are really going to appreciate the form factor. They will still cause a problem with your tramp stamp, but it's much improved.

Thanks for making this I'm planning to getting something one day for the action games I want to make

Recently considered learning how to use mocap to make short form comedy sketches. (Haven't started yet) It looks like a daunting process but I'm also really excited to see if I can learn it.

great vid! really helps narrow the scope of options out there for us plebes. the prices on some of these things are organ donor levels of insanity, especially glove solutions. Luckily my wallet is on a life support induced coma right now, so only I got the heart attack.

16:55 Just a small clarification, SteamVR basestations themselves don't actually "tell" anything, they're just used by the tracked devices as reference, they just beam out an IR laser pattern that sweeps the space many times per second; hence the name Lighthouse.

This is definitely the best video I have looked into regarding this content. It is just surprising it onoly has 5214 views at time I am writing.Thank you so much for sharing this content. you save us hours and hours

Nice video and thanks for the mention!

In his suited environment.. . :) explaining stuff to us

Recently discovered the channel and I thoroughly enjoy the consistent quality and topics. Have you seen anything about iPi Soft's markerless mocap? I've seen some people get extraordinarily good results with two kinect 2's. The only issue is that it's not real time. Wondering what you think of it.

I never even thought that rokoko is based in Europe and contacting customer service might be a bit of a hassle. I’ve been figuring out if (or more importantly WHY) I want a mocap suit and thankfully I haven’t been getting ahead of myself and just blowing money. This video thus far has been the best video for someone trying to figure this out. And you like PrismaticaDev! He seems super knowledgeable and wholesome! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Im looking at going with the vive trackers as well for my setup, but im curious with Rokoko and PN you get finger tracking, how would you do finger tracking with a vive tracker setup?

There used to be a jank oldschool optical setup where you get some PS3 Eye cameras and modify the cameras, you kick out the IR-filter lens and install an IR-pass-filter lens, you install IR ringlights on the cameras or weave sanded off IR LEDs into your costume, but i don't know if it ever was developed fully into anything you can use for puppeteering, i think the software was geared towards offline to BVH capture.

right into my TRAMP STAMP lmao

Curious to get your thoughts on AI motion capture solutions and if you feel there's room for that in your process or others?

Do you have any experiance on grabbing the capture from nintedo switch just dance? From the website it says to use a phone with the just dance app, I am a vtuber so would ned to have that data roll into unity/unreal somehow.

nice video ❤

for me when i was searching mocap I ended up sticking with Mocap fusion a free software along with just 3 tacker 2.0 2 stations along with tundras straps an ive never had a problem. Ide say if your on budged I wouldnt go for 7 cuz so far ive gotten equal quality as 7 of them just with 3. maybe if you want range of your elbows an knees. a good pair up with them to is the vive face tracker if you want to record lip stuff an dont have a iphone

Just 1 out of the 4 base stations I ordered worked. The other ones were fully broken since the beginning and the last one never arrived. That’s an astronomical issue, since I own 7 trackers and the base stations are truly non existent. The “avatar 2” from corridor shouldn’t be a benchmark, since Sam is just learning how to properly use all of this fuzz. The best example out there I have seen is Xanadu, he uses the xscen hardware and iPhone combo. It have been a nightmare figuring all this bs out, since I’m looking forward to make interactive games and mainly feature films with this tech. I’m currently taking UE5 courses, too bad all this information is obscure, unrealizable, and or non existent. Devises such as meta quest pro and forward May add or change the way some things, but we will have to wait and see

so, with the VRChat beta now allowing mocap as a tracking option, I feel this video is going to get a *lot* more views lol

Hope u make it big time $

Would be great if the BGM was slightly tuned down, love the video

If you can get on the Xsens Indie program, the software is free and renewable for up to 3 years iirc. The perpetual license for the software is insane, as much if not more than the mid-range suit. If you're a one-man studio, I don't know how you could afford this. Some resellers do offer payment programs, but I don't know how flexible it is beyond a deposit and once-off payment for the balance. What I will say is that the fidelity of the suit is amazing. No sliding, no cleanup besides occasional penetration and it's free from magnetic interference. The Xsens Manus gloves however are prone to magnetic interference in very close proximity, even if you're holding a phone, I found out recently XD They also run via bluetooth, so even if your suit's range is 25-50m, likely your gloves won't transmit the data all the way. I don't know if there's onbody recording for the gloves and I think only the premium xsens suit has that, where you can go out of range and then come back and offload the data from the sensors. Only downside I've had so far is that I don't have a laptop, so if I want to do a mocap session, I gotta take my whole workstation.

Hm, it's not possible to use Leap Motion for face tracking? I would've thought someone would've released something like that by now...

i just wanted to animate and now im overwhelmed 😔

Anyone have experience getting all the trackers for VRmocap to anchor and track consistently/repeatable without a VR headset (headless setup)?

Thanks for the video, I wanted to buy a rokoko, but after checking a few videos I won't, I need something like plug and play, just like the iphone with face live link, and is quite decent, and neither rokoko nor x sense do that right away, and I don't need extremely accuracy neither, just decent, so a solution would be something similar to face live link (using the Lidar sensor), but capturing the body, or at least a plug and play plugin that uses a camera connected to unreal engine or anything, so one can do some live recording or streaming like I want to.

Hey would you still recommend spending on vibe trackers and controllers for mocap in 2024? I'm currently using psmoveservice ex and its pretty good but I hear the vive is better, while at the same time hearing its outdated and not worth it anymore... but I can't find any solutions as good for less than 1k

18:28 what software name mentioned here? (i mean the software shown in the video, not megasteakman)

I have manus gloves and use their polygon software to use the gloves + vive trackers - as far as I can tell this is the best bang for the buck (polygon is free also!)

What plug-in you use to Mocap with VIVE Tracker or did you design the blueprint yourself?

Really really nice overview of the current landscape. The thing I am trying to determine now is whether the manus pro trackers are a superior option vs the tundra labs trackers. Pricing is 300 dollars for each manus pro module which is hard to swallow, but you can't really but the tundra labs trackers and it's not clear how long they will be unable to be ordered. I'd also like to hear your insight on a lesser known tool for Unreal called Rigel which costs 500 dollars but it supports up to 10 trackers, where as manus polygon is limited to 8 trackers. Rigel also has some interesting features I have not seen anywhere else, things like adjustable real time smoothing, and self clipping. Please let me know what you think.

You just helped me save a ton on my car insurance... nah, fr though this video literally just saved me time and possibly thousands of dollars on my future mocap rig. when i say future i definitely mean within the next six months. Thank you kindsir.

Can you get just tundra trackers? Or do you need a vive.

I used Vive Trackers and my own solution for Unity to record pretty much every animation in a story-driven game - Best Month Ever. Having said that, I've bought Noitom Perception Neuron Studio for my next project :). So far, I like it a lot (it's like XSENS, but half the price, and you don't pay for the software).

Vive trackers are expensive as hell. If you own 7 of them, isn't that almost the price of a suit?

Ta'boot? Haha he is such a character!

where is the xsens rokoko comparison?

Are there any decent software for full body motion capture using Vive?

Great content, but your animation was a bit Willy Wonka with your elbows looking like you're airing out your armpits. You could fix that with changing the table height to look like your arms are resting on the table.

The information and explanation are very good but the music is very distracting especially because it's so loud.

I have no experience in this, was just looking at what is out there for cheap setups for animation and I am surprised that the suggested way is to use around 7 trackers on body that end up being (say for tundra) 480$ + 360 + straps 156(38 belt + 35 feet + 45 limbs + 38 arms) so $996 without head tracking or elbow bending/hands unless you have gloves/vr equip already? I would have thought buying a bunch of cameras to put around you on stands would be more accurate for the whole body and more comfortable, than over a grand and be reliant on batteries and pay extra $100-200 for added points? I thought webcam based software was making a lot of the suits redundant, I just watched a video on using a $20 kinect controller but had limitations on body parts out of camera view, seems like there should be a lot of options inbetween the $20 kinect and the $1000-3000 suits?

Not valve index, wireless vive pro eye, and add face tracking to it.

SD wants $1200 for the headmount? Does it fold the laundry too?

How about perception neuron?

am shit at animating, searching for ways to make nice looking animations easily with mo-cap, let's see.

The music is too loud, man.

Thanks for the video, but the backgroundmusic is to loud and very repetitive.

Does Mocap make sense for SFM2

Don't buy tundra trackers they have alot of tracking issues

what a joke FaceCam iPhone HMC 1200 bucks!! ? i rather use that money on a full bod suit then just a head mount i might use maybe 50 precent of the time

none animate yourself
