Rokoko Mocap Suit into Blender (and mocap requests) (Patreon)
Content
So this is crazy cool- Rokoko gave me a motion capture suit a few months ago (with the caveat that I make fun stuff with it), and they just released an update that lets me stream the motion straight into blender, which... I don't know how useful it's going to be compared to recording the motion in the Rokoko Studio software natively, but it sure is fun being able to directly control the models (and it's great for brainstorming).
While it's not particularly expensive for what it is, $2,500 still ain't nothing, so I just wanted to extend an open offer to anyone who might need random mocap data to post here (I'm mostly thinking short stuff, like up to 30-40 seconds), and I'll try to record it when I get a chance.
As I say in the video, the final result usually tends to be better than what you see there, since it does a final process over the top once all the data's in (since this is streaming live, we don't get that)- but we still have a few limitations: the processing expects us to be on level ground (climbing ladders gets funky), we don't have hands, or a face- but that still leaves a lot of options! Let me know!
This was how I did the crab battle, animating the brunt of it during the 20 seconds I spent acting it out (I slowed down most of it).
