So if I have to animate genesis 8? First I must have to animate genesis2?

[@DeepMotionInc]

@@giacomorizzo9982 Hi! We just checked and the Daz team has fixed the issues with the BVH import. You should be able to import the BVH animation file directly to a Gen 8

[@Catthyp]

Noooo wwwaaay this is exactly what we needed! Amazing! Thank you so much! No feet sliding almost! Yaay! I feel free from animation limits in Daz!

[@bydreaminc]

How did your results work out for you?

[@ssj3mohan]

your tutorial was amazing.

[@MaybeItsRandy]

This might work!! 😱😱😱 I’m using an iPhone 11 but I have a laptop though,I’m gonna try this.

[@eblgraphics]

TAKE MY MONEY!!! Testing immediately... OMG if this works it will be amazing...

[@DeepMotionInc]

Looking forward to your test! Please reach out to us if you need any support, we're happy to help you get the best results possible.

[@nicolasmontes7207]

Why the hell would you use Genesis 2 in 2021?

[@DeepMotionInc]

We showed both Genesis 2 & 8 and had requests from our community for both! If you have something specific you're curious about, let us know and we will consider including it in our next Daz 3D tutorial update.

[@strenifstrecs2551]

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out.

[@runidjurhuus3937]

Amazing

[@lioncrud9096]

does this work for genesis 8 and genesis 8.1?

[@gseric4721]

Wow. I've been using Mixamo animations for years, but the problem with the pipeline to daz is several of the animations aren't level with the 3d origin of the Daz3d interface consistently(sliding feet, feet do not remain level), and there are other animations that are just too choppy going from frame to frame. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Are there any good sites that provide good sample videos that have blank backgournds?

[@Catthyp]

It works!!!

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

This would be nice in a Software Version so you wouldn't have to be Online all the time with heavy limits. I would use this for IClone instead of Daz because Daz is very difficult to Animate Large Scenes that I can compose with ease in IClone. Daz is very limited also with Rendering still and just needs a Major Overhaul to modernize it and make animations practically possible. Will you have a Software Version of this available ever?

[@DeepMotionInc]

Currently only available online. We have a separate iClone tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGGclYR8o9yJjdk

[@davidmouser596]

Has anyone succeeded importing the new Genesis 9 FBX? I've been trying but no luck so far.

[@roblesliemedia]

Does anyone get "No Rigged Mesh found in the FBX Scene..." ? I'm stuck there.

[@roblesliemedia]

Have it working now, you may need to have the character selected before exporting. Messed around with the FBX settings too but just glad it works.

[@MultiMirs]

You have to make sure that your selection is on "Genesis 2 Female" rather than any individual body parts, e.g. "right forearm"

[@Light59583]

is this really working?

[@twantlavish]

Hi, I really want to use this website and upgrade, but every time I try my animations comes out super jittery, and sometimes the foot are stuck in parts or bend wrong, arms going through chest. I keep trying because I see everyone else nice videos. What am I doing wrong? I keep making the best videos I could still no luck. I’m on the fence of upgrading because it’s not working for me yet. I don’t want to give up, I could really use some guidance to get good results. I don’t want to upgrade if the free version is not working out. But if it does I will upgrade for sure. And everyone keeps saying you get 60 seconds. Was this changed? I’m new to the platform. How to get the animations smooth and working good. Is there a overall tutorial I need to watch because I have watched many of your videos. I use daz studio the most. I watched it many times. My only issue is getting smooth animations. It’s like the character won’t register the video correctly or fully. I had one video that was almost but it was full of shakes and the feet had issues. Hope to figure this out. It could just be me I don’t know. Can you help in anyway thanks.

[@DeepMotionInc]

Thank you for reporting issues you encountered. Here is a video capture guideline to ensure that you captured good quality video for the service: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmKYeopnfMepbLc Also can you send your problematic videos or resulst to [e-mail] for us to take a closer look and share with you suggestions or feedback ? We added a new "Motion Smoothing" feature to Professional plan and above. We will share a demo video for the feature next week and stay tuned.

[@DeepMotionInc]

Hi Twant - sorry you're having issues with your results. Can you please provide your source video to [e-mail] and our team can help you!

[@twantlavish]

@@DeepMotionInc Thank you for responding to my comment. I appreciate that, and I’m grateful for the video guidelines, I’ll watch it and do my best to get better results. I will send in my issue video next time to the support. Thank you again for letting me know what I can do to get better results. I have already deleted the videos I have had issues with before your response. So if I have the same issue again I will send it.

[@bydreaminc]

@@twantlavish How did it end up working out? I'm considering this as well.

[@elisabethwiegele1751]

Does Genesis 9 work the same as Genesis 8?

[@realtalkmultimedia3182]

You Rock!

[@frankcabanski9409]

Any way to get this as software rather than a service? Don't like the model of limited minutes - using minutes for test runs, work in progress. Would like to run locally.

[@WayneMcAuliffe]

I suspect the (DeepMotion engine) software is hosted on a seriously powerful beast. Locally, it'd require a very high-end workstation (at the least!) to get it working satisfactorily.

[@frankcabanski9409]

@@WayneMcAuliffe Understood. However, paying by the minute of video is a non starter.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

Agreed.. I don't Subscribe to ANY service.. I don't like the limitations placed on accounts that way and I like to work offline and not Share what I am doing with these companies.. Cuz whether you know it or not, that's exactly what you are doing!!

[@therelaxingcgi]

Awesome! but what if I want to animate any genesis 8 with the default A pose? does it work? or do all need to be in t pose? Thanks for this!

[@JeanGabrielTORDJMAN]

cela fonctionne pour genesis 9. ?

[@wilfreidngarbe3936]

I LIKE IT, IS THERE ANY OTHER SOFTWARE TO INSTALL AND USE IT OFFLINE

[@KrustyPickles]

yea i followed everything tep by step and when i baked joint rotations my character went ill spider crab looking. but i continued. then when i drug the animation to the view port it just added a copy of the gen 2 character i used to make the animation. so i tried to just import the animation and same thing. added a gen 2

[@MBZMaster]

Is it compatible with Gen 9?

[@DeepMotionInc]

We will be adding a built-in Gen 9 character in the next week or so!

[@supasuoasuoasupa1939]

[@michael86734]

cool can you bring 3D models from google 3D house

[@themightyflog]

What about the face stuff and hands? this hasn't been updated in awhile.

[@p7singh]

Which software is this? It's not look like BLENDER.

[@DeepMotionInc]

This tutorial is for Daz 3D

[@michael86734]

does it come with models

[@DeepMotionInc]

We do have default characters but we are also in the process of developing a model specific to DAZ with the Daz team. Stay tuned for updates! bit.ly/DM_Discord

[@davidmouser596]

Is this still limited to G2 characters? I only use Genesis 8 myself.

[@davidmouser596]

Tried it with the Genesis 2 Female and works pretty much as advertised. If they get this working with Genesis 8 characters I'll definitely buy;)

[@davidmouser596]

Okay I managed to get the Genesis 8 characters to work by making a separate install of the Genesis 8 Starter content. Otherwise when I try and upload I get a duplication error on the joints. A workaround rather than a solution;)

[@megafarihinable]

Does is work when there are 2 person in a video?

[@DeepMotionInc]

We are actively working on multi-person tracking... to be released very soon!

[@JedStreaming]

Good evening, I followed the tutorial to the letter, and the result is promising. Close, but maybe not close enough. At the moment I get similar results using a solution based on Kinect v 2.0. plus it's a free solution. But I will follow your work closely. A little disappointed with the result, not enough seconds per month to test and have the right to make mistakes, results not very faithful, but close, so the tool is promising, to be continued.

[@RicardorVFX]

I can do it facemocap ro Daz3D??

[@DeepMotionInc]

Our Face Tracking uses Blend Shapes - you can check out our FAQ here: bit.ly/facetrackingfaq
