Free AI Mocap from Video! Plask & Blender Tutorial

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to use Plask, a free AI tool to extract character animations from any video file. This is astonishingly simple and provides great results. I'll also show you how to upload custom characters and export the final result to Blender. Leave a comment if you have any further questions!

Wow. Blows my mind how far we've come that using ai for mocap is that simple.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

This is just the tutorial I've been looking for. Thank you!

[@matgaraj]

Returning here 2 years after I first saw the video, I realised just now how much I have learnt. I am so grateful for your channel, everytNice tutorialng

[@EmadMohamedsaad]

He did a very good job imo. Explaining the basics step by step. English is not my first language and I have no experience in using DAWs

[@lotusfilm1]

This is absolutely amazing! THANKS A LOT!

[@footballtwitterreactions7138]

So many incredibly free stuffs in the world of animation! I will be using this when I finish modelling my characters

This is absolutely amazing! thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. Never knew of Plack's existence until I watched this vid.

[@BlenderDaily]

happy to hear that you find the tutorial to be useful!

[@MelvilleG]

Just mesmerizing! Thanks friend. I believe we'll have to wait for the AI mocap feature to be implemented in Blender. And that it eventually will be - I have no doubt

[@MrCaptainbirdman]

Awesome tutorial Nick!

[@roozbehebadi6661]

Dude! Plask is what I was looking for in a long time! thx a lot!

[@yogeshzine4977]

this channel is really cool and usefull bro. i encountered your 3D scanning video and it blown away my mind. this channel is like a gold mine for me, Thank you very much for so much advanced learnings.

[@eastartomaliso7819]

U made it simple man ur subscribers are well deserved

[@CGSparrow]

For the foot locking/alignment issue, I wrote a blender addon: Inverse Lock Bone. It's helpful for MoCap which needs to lock the foot (and recalculate the location of the master/root bone). Hope it helps in some way.

[@gameimprovements4347]

Does it work by chance?

[@CGSparrow]

@@gameimprovements4347 No, not by chance. The user must specify the bone to be locked and the frame range to be locked, it is specific. Users need to do some adjustments in each step of the character animation according to their reference video. The addon is used to help recalculate the location of the master/root bone, thus making the foot lock.

Wow, that's amazing how fast this technology is moving. The upper end MoCap system costs $500k. I sure would be hesitant to drop that much money on something that will soon be obsolete.

[@theFishy_]

No mocap system costs 500k
