[@OverJumpRally]

You should put this link as first thing in the description!

[@harveynewman]

@@OverJumpRally That's true, let me change that. Thanks for the tip!

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

🥰🔥Thanks for the shout out Harvey, very much appreciated! Wish you the best of success with this first course! Hope to talk to you soon.

[@harveynewman]

Thanks Pierrick and thanks once again for all the help, it's HIGHLY appreciated and it won't be forgotten.

[@foofinu]

Thank you so much for the callout, Harv! ❤🎉 Really appreciate you, bud. Best of luck with the course!

[@harveynewman]

Most welcome Rick! Least I could do and thanks once again for all the help. It’s highly appreciated!

[@YorkReacts]

Awesome stuff Harvey using Keil Figgins for your rigger was a great idea and also Ive worked with Eric before for capturing mocap and he is amazing at what he does. Excited for you and for all the people who take the course. Wish you the best and hope this thing takes off for you

[@harveynewman]

Hey York, thanks a million brother! Highly appreciated and yeah both Kiel and Eric are brilliant to work with so it was a no brainer to bring them along. I hope it proves successful as well, let's see, keeping my fingers crossed for sure :D

[@threepeatgames]

Thanks for responding so quickly to my other question! Last question: Will your workflow for making run cycles, stops and starts from mocap and pose overlaying (e.g. changing unarmed animations to rifle-carrying, etc) be in part 1 of the course? I've been working through all my MVN Link mocap dance cards to build out different sets for UE5.4's motion matching, but my workflow is definitely slower and more painful than I'd like it to be.

[@harveynewman]

Yes we will get there, part one will get you most of the way there but if you have lots of files to process you might want to wait until part 2 comes out. Either way keep in mind that processing lots of motion capture takes time even when you use powerful tools and plugins.

[@threepeatgames]

@@harveynewman thanks! Tried to purchase the course last night and this am but am getting a "this product is not available. Contact the school owner for more information." error

[@harveynewman]

@@threepeatgames Hey there, yeah I was updating the website, should be up again you can try again at your convenience.

[@mithunmonga4491]

I'm really hyped after hearing more about it! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure your course will impress everyone, from aspiring professionals to pros. Congratulations!

[@harveynewman]

Thanks Mithun! I hope people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it putting it together.

[@linpingchow]

Woo, looking forward! Hope it goes well!!! 🤞 Does the course share the process of planning and recording mocap shoots? I'm super curious how big studios do mocap shoots differently, like if there is any industry trade secrets to it

[@harveynewman]

Yeah that’s going to be part 1 of the course the one releasing on Thursday. :)

[@STTaho]

Really cool that you're teaching this cause as you said not a lot of people teach mocap for animators and there's a bunch of opportunities for it in the industry. Gonna get the early bird promo myself! Thank you for doing this!

[@harveynewman]

That’s great I hope you enjoy it, there’s a lot in there. Looking forward to seeing you in the course group.

[@TheChannelOfGeorge]

Ah man, I have been waiting for a course like this! The character and the story behind his creation is awesome!

[@harveynewman]

Hey George, yeah going back to that idea of the amount of time I spent working on this, it needed to be a character I am passionate about otherwise I would run out of steam :D Thanks for watching and I hope to see you over there in the course community

[@raphaellima1332]

I bought the course Early Bird! I'm looking forward to the classes. I already work with motion capture for cinematics, but I always try to update myself and look for different methods. I bought Richard Lico's course at the beginning of the year and I highly recommend it too. I'm from Brazil, sorry for my bad English

[@harveynewman]

Ola Raphael. Tudo bem. Muito Obrigado! And I hope you enjoy the course as much as Richard's he's really good at teaching and breaking down complex subjects. And thanks a million for purchasing the course, looking forward to seeing you on the close group and more than happy to answer any questions you might have over there.

[@joshuaboone5870]

Very excited for the course Harvey!! Great video 😄

[@harveynewman]

Thanks a million Joshua...excited to share with the world, a bit nervous I must say, when you work on something for so long is always nerve racking to finally release it.

[@MarkMastersAnim]

Awesome man! The rig looks fantastic too!

[@harveynewman]

Thanks a ton Mark! Looking forward to see what the community creates with this guy. Exciting times for sure!

[@mb-andthenwhat]

What Maya plugins are required/used for this course? Excited, but I’ve bought too many plugins already….

[@harveynewman]

Hey MB the plugins will be included and except for Red9 that is made for more advanced users they are all free.

[@AnimatorHeadSpace]

Awesome man! Glad to see it.

[@harveynewman]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@LOVER_LINK]

Is there a complete syllabus for the course? I don't see it on the site or this video. Or all of this still a wip?

[@harveynewman]

Hi, not quite yet but I’ll make sure to work on one before release next Thursday for part 1. Thx for the nudge

[@threepeatgames]

@@harveynewman Any luck on this? Would love a little more detail about what's in the course!

[@davidecheagaray2256]

Just got the early bird access! Super excited 🎉 Hoping to make some cool mocap anims 💪

[@harveynewman]

Thanks David. Looking forward to seeing you in the course group.

[@WorkbrandAssets]

Very cool, looks like a great course!

[@harveynewman]

Thanks I surely hope people enjoy it, value for money was in the forefront of my mind when creating it so there's lots there for people to consume.

[@wojtas789]

Hi, since this course is made in Maye, does this course make sense for someone who has never used this program? Is it better to learn the basics of the program first?

[@harveynewman]

Hey there, good question and you can follow along with no problems even if you are not familiar with Maya as I go through the Maya settings you need to use step by step for Motion capture and also show you all the steps you need to take to import and clean mocap, plus how to active plugins and more. So there's plenty there but it should be all easy to understand and follow along. ;)

[@fatwaaminrais1454]

owuuh.. didn't know you did mocap 😅😅😅😅 Horrayy

[@harveynewman]

Oh yes I’ve been doing it for quite a while now. :)

[@fatwaaminrais1454]

@@harveynewman wow.. What do you think about the output of mocap? Is it not really useful for animated film? I get that respond few times when talking about mocap from my colleagues

[@YggdrasilReviews]

Ahhhhh it’s happening!!

[@harveynewman]

Indeed!!! I hope you enjoy it if you decide to join the course. SO much work went into this!

[@alexsoulmocap]
