Incredible and comprehensive tutorial, thank you! As you point out, there are other (shorter) tutorials out there that cover bits and pieces of this info, but nothing as completely packaged and comprehensive as this one you just uploaded! And an excellent summary of the inexpensive body MoCap solutions for us indies ha ha, thanks a ton for doing this!

The sphere method is what I do as well. The reason the ball goes off into a random space is because the transform it was using for world space becomes its local coordinate when you attach it. I haven't had much luck with keeping world space when attaching or detaching, but its not much of an issue. Great overview of the process, thanks for the tutorial!

Great tutorial! As far as I know, when you attach an object, its location is related to the attachment. So you basically need to set the attached object to its 0,0,0 if you want it to be at the same place of the attachment.

Outstandig turorial! I believe the heavy wheight on the head and a the 60s limit is a problem for acting. I would rather reccord face and body apart: face first and use the audio to guide the performance.
@NorthwoodsInteractive3 күн бұрын
Yeah it is definitely a limitation, and what you mentioned is a popular option. Just keep in mind there a lot of subtle movements with the eyes that are hard to sync perfectly when doing the animations separately. It can lead to the uncanny valley.

bro is the character meant to look at the camera? if so, you can constrain the CTRL_EYES to look at camera to make it more realistic.

@Bobh15317 минут бұрын
This is the first time I've felt like I understand the whole process. Thank you very much. Not much detail on the MoveOne site, so some questions you may or may not be able answer: What is the real minimum computer setup? I'm running an M1 iMac with 16GB of ram. iMac has a good camera. Could that be used in place of the ipad? Any idea when an android version of MoveOne might be released? How much memory/storage space would a phone require for the captures?
@veith3dclubКүн бұрын
Thank you so much! Crazy work!!! Respect and thank you for showing all this! Do you create always a new Metahuman Identity or do you reuse old if it is the same Headrig for example?
@NorthwoodsInteractive22 сағат бұрын
Thank you! That is a great question - so I actually create a new metahuman identity for every facial animation I use, even if it is the same headrig. Basically every time I roll the Live Link app, I do the face calibration gazes at the beginning, and set up a new identity and performance in UE. I think you might not need to do that, but every time I have tried to use the same identity for multiple performances, I get weird animation bugs.

Hello there, this is an extremely useful tutorial! Thanks for showing us everything, from the beginning till the end! I have a question though: How does Move One handle body occlusion? For example, if I turn around and my arms are occluded by my body, I assume move one loses track of them, right? Every clip I have watched displays only full frontal movements, which usually isn't the case if someone wants to create lifelike animations. Thanks for your reply!
@NorthwoodsInteractive18 сағат бұрын
As far as I know, it does not do anything special for occlusion; if it is out of sight, it won't know what to do with it and it will likely bug out. It seems to work ok in this animation when I turn away a little, as though it has a little bit of predictive ability. I have not stress tested it, and have always tried to give the camera as good of visibility as possible
@phoenixstudios752018 сағат бұрын
@@NorthwoodsInteractive Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, that's what stops me from getting into move one or other similar mocap systems that process video files: When creating lifelike motions, in many occasions the arms will be occluded by the body and the software will lose track of them. Only two or more cameras can solve this.

Thank you, glad it was what you were looking for! That's a great question, one I should have answered in the video... I did the whole process twice, once to see if I could actually get the results I wanted using Move One, and another doing the same thing for the tutorial. The first time, it took me about six hours to complete the entire scene. The second... much harder to say since I was making the tutorial at the same time.

Best way to transfer from iphone to PC is to send it to WA, to youself, I mean to your number. My WA user appears in my WA and I can text me my self. Or upload your live link face take from your phone to G drive, it zip it automatically, then in your PC , download that zip file from your G drive. That simple
@NorthwoodsInteractiveКүн бұрын
Oh yeah that will definitely work. The merahuman animator files can get a little big, so depends on your internet. Most people should be able to transfer using Drive.
