BLENDER + ROKOKO IK Rigging (2 Minutes!!!)

If you're serious about getting the biggest bang for your buck, you'll want to take full advantage of motion capture by integrating it DIRECTLY into your IK rig. It's easy to set-up and saves hours of retargeting in the long run :)

In case the instructions weren't clear, to add new Rokoko Animations: File(1) > append(2) > pick Blender File with FBX animations(3) > actions(4) > pick your animation(5) - Done Totally worth the small time it takes to set up, and I highly recommend this workflow for anyone looking to animate long term :)

[@jamestroici732]

If you notice your character arms imploding after doing this method it's cause your MESH's REST position is in an A POSE and NOT A TPOSE. To Fix this just swivel the rokoko rigs arms into an A pose. I hope this saves you the daysof pain it took me to figure this out.

Brenda's whole Body explodes. Trying to figure out what I did wrong.

@@jamestroici732 thanks for this tip!

[@sircruxstudios]

I have been using curves like a maniac. This is pretty straightforward and works like a charm.

[@lukecresante5859]

This is fantastic! Totally adding this to recommended Rokoko onboarding :)

[@nekospace3614]

Rokoko ✨the best investment 👍

[@x64.graphics]

What IK rig are you using to match to the mixamo rig? having trouble

[@sircruxstudios]

Pretty cool!!!!!

[@EmpireAni]

Thanks 🎉 it helped ❤

[@keyofvoid1787]

Extra note: you will want to rename the bones with batch rename (Ctrl+F2) so you can work with X-axis mirror. You have to delete the "Left" and "Right" parts of the names and add the corresponding ".L" and ".R" suffixes

[@JoseRodriguez-gx6yv]

You the best

[@SugarLightStudios]

will this work for the mixamo animation as well?

[@AxlWhoa]

anybody else having a problem with deleting the action of in 3.4.1 ? if i remove the action the animation is still on the character and i cant put another action in its place. the rig will just turn by 90 degrees. any fix ?

[@dieshawn807]

When it comes to rokoko and other motion capture, would it be possible to use drivers as well, to get that good and proper deformation with mussle stretch and expansion? A separate question as well. When you have an IK rig with drivers, are the drivers also exported with the rig to UE4/5?

[@peter7147]

in your previous video, it shows the bone list automatically, but for me it wont show anything. What can I do?

[@kenhiguchi2144]

motion capture is fun

[@Oahspe]

Hey thanks buddy! These are all really helpful little tuts. Have had my smartsuit for about a week now and love it. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent jittery tootsies? Just like, make the straps tighter? Everything looks fine from afar, but for close up shots, I got lots of micro jitterbugs going on. Nothing that can't be handled in cleanup, but I'd prefer if there was a way to prevent it in the first place.

[@jamestroici732]

I believe the jitters are inevitable. Everyone I know that's worked with rokoko have said that cleanup is almost always needed for close-ups or high-quality animations.

[@HemisphereCinema]

where do you get the rokoko rig

[@CircusOfBedlam]

No matter what I do, the arms are messed up! Can any one help? I imported a daz gen9 into blender. Then took a rokoko animation from the rokoko studio and imported it as fbx. i then used the rokoko plugin to retarget. There are some missing bones, but I have no idea which way round some of these are. Like there are roll bones and twist bones on the other rig. Are they like for like? Is there perhaps a diagram of the HumanIK rig joints compared to rokoko?

[@horizon928]

genius

[@OM33WRLD]

Is auto rig pro Ik I’m so lost ? Any got me on this question ?

[@HeStoleMyLastName]

Has anyone tried baking the animations from the Rokoko rig onto their IK rig? I'm trying to export animations for game engines and with no actual transform information being on the bones I'm exporting just the bind pose. If anyone has any ideas or has seen any work around for this id be super grateful. I have been unlucky in finding a solution so far.

[@oddur638]

hey, love your vids! Doing a great job :) but can you but all the rigging and weight painting videos into one or something like that? I am in trouble figuring out what video is supposed to come after the one that I just watched (navigate through the videos on which one is next). It would help me a lot thanks :D

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Sure thing man, here's a playlist that has all the videos in order for you :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfEop2tpayrhcU&ab_channel=RoyalSkiesLLC

@@TheRoyalSkies Thanks soo much :DD

[@mmmkrisppy2168]

I miss your older animation content bro :(

[@kriegs8315]

Yes

[@keyscribbler8897]

What is rokoko? Is it a software

[@dannyanalogue]

Do you have a solution for foot slide? Your retargetted version has visible foot slide. I've found this to be the biggest problem with their plugin, as well. Thanks!

[@dannyanalogue]

In fact, a lock and release IK script/add-on for feet bones would be the holy grail of mocap data in Blender. Surely you're the man for the job!

[@KingCeryn]

The Rokoko studio software has options for feet IK, but most of that stuff can be fixed by just tweaking keyframes in blender!

[@Ansett1994]

So Rokoko rigs must not be scaled except 3D model. What if I have a proportion 3D model?

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Correct, the scale is connected to the motion capture data. If you scale the Rokoko Rig it will revert back to normal each time you append an animation. You can change the proportions in edit mode no problem, just not the scale in object mode -

"Youre done"

[@raelroque5595]

can you explain the best way to animate with few money or no money?, yours videos are exelent but too fast i dont speak english, but i understand a little nice work

[@jamestroici732]

You might want to look into some free programs that use video to create rough mocap animations. It's all in beta as the tech is still developed but that's your best shot for free mocap software. Camera-based mocap software is a very quickly changing field so I recommend researching yourself what's available right now

[@suzukiriyumeko]

I get going fast is your thing, but it literally makes it harder for some people to follow. I can't even remotely follow anything past 45 seconds because you skipped steps as if everyone would know what to do

[@oldleaf3755]

good. getting used to your voice
