Rokoko Studio Live Plugin for Blender - including Retargeting tool for Motion Capture animations

In this video, Sam is going through the details of our updated Rokoko Studio live plugin for Blender (2.8 and newer). What’s really exciting about this release is that we have built the retargeting tool for motion capture animations that Blender has been missing! This fixes some fundamental workflow issues with mocap animations in Blender - namely importing and retargeting. The plugin is currently available only for Windows users but we promise we’ll release the complete version soon.

Wow! Very impressive. Within just 2 versions of their new plugin, the ROKOKO team have not only solved a BIG problem with Blender, they've also simplified the workflow, AND have explained how to apply the method in a way that anyone can follow. I know who I'll be buying my MoCap gear from when the time comes!

[@dansdaily3489]

This is literally one of the best plugins for blender I've ever used. Didn't think it would work and it was just marketing but honestly it's so good. Blender needs this natively.

[@RokokoMotion]

We are glad to hear that!

[@Defaultsound]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Just got our smart suit last week. So far I've spent most of the time messing with re-targeting solutions for Blender. Just gave this a go and it makes it so much easier. Additive layer corrections will be a breeze now!

[@RokokoMotion]

Wonderful to hear! :)

[@Defaultsound]

@@RokokoMotion Been exploring it some more today. Just wanted to ask is there a solution/Workflow for root motion in Blender & Rokoko? Adding in a root bone to the Motion Capture data sort of works, but doesn't retarget 100%

[@Defaultsound]

On that note, did some further testing and have found a solution. Will be releasing a video soon show casing this :)

[@Defaultsound]

For anyone interested, in this video I share a solution on how to add root motion! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2rGo3h9Zs6DiMU

[@maciejszczesnik9441]

That is simple awesome and will speed up my workflow a lot :). I've been doing manual retargeting for some time now (I even have some videos about it). I will link your video to my channel for all the people who were following my method :).

[@RokokoMotion]

Great to hear, Maciej - thanks!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I do think your method has more control, i didnt see any method of animating on top of the rig like you showed. THough i think using bones vs empties would be more useful so you can use other addon to control bone layers etc

[@mszczesnik]

@@RomboutVersluijs Thanks, I'll try to update the video soon with an updated workflow. I do a lot of retargeting lately.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@mszczesnik Nice! Really appreciate you showed your method. I also commented in the addon by Bartos, but hes a busy man. Plus he did it for free, he normally makes paid addons. His addons are super nice! Perhaps when i got the time ill try to comeup with something as well. Im not as good as Bartos with Python, but i can manage to make handy little addons now and then

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Side not perhaps, i see that FBX import patch was actually implemented. Thats really nice, i was checking differences, but untik i checked the code, i was sure it was working. Feels indeed very fast vs old versions!

[@koraybirand]

Current / Pose function seems not working as intented. I am using 1.4 at the moment. I have a UE5 APose mannequin and my animation (rokoko) in TPose. I put my Mannequin into TPose and retarget with 'POSE' option. My arms get crossed. It works if I apply my pose to rest (with cats plugin) but that messes up my skeleton and if I import my edited animation to UE5 it is messed up. I tried everything and POSE/CURRENT seems not working. Is there any sort of documentation that I can read.

[@antoniolimpo]

Same problem in Blender!

[@OfficialAEPBR]

I hope this will be available for the camera motion capture, even though its not live right now and will be hard to implement im confident it will be a thing someday!

[@oldleaf3755]

thanks, Sam

[@RomboutVersluijs]

The auto bone orientation can cause issues depending on what the source rig uses. If that was imported different, you get tangeled limbs, looks kinda weird. A solution is to play with the first and second bone and see when the Z is pointing down or is pointing in the same direction as the source bones are. You need to check the limbs for this, mostly noticeable on the arms.

[@gouravdas7557]

great video.

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

If you have a Subdivision Surface Modifier in place, make sure to set Viewport to 0 before retargeting, unless you want to wait all day for it to finish.

[@rorymayne2190]

[@br1ann88]

This is really awesome, and Im loving Rokoko studio so far (the interface is SOOO AMAZINGLY SMOOTH AND CLEAN!), but sometimes, my motion capture data does not work well with my character. Some parts, like the arms, go INTO the the body of my character. This only happens when I use motion captures like walking, where the arms swing up and down, and hit the hips of my character. The arms just go THROUGH my mesh of my character. Any help? I'm relatively new to blender, so maybe im doing something wrong.

[@davidschmidt8059]

Will there be retargeting features for IK legs and arms.... This is a great addition, and would love if I could use it on our production rigs at work, for a long time we have been using Auto rig pro to retarget our Rokoko data onto rigs, which has been working for us, but it does limit what we can do

Another way to fix that Tpose or Apose issue, is apply the armature modifier when its in Tpose or Apose, then apply it and add it again and relink the armature.

[@ColinTCS]

Tried installing this plugin to both Blender 2.8 and 2.30 and neither would activate, consistently errors and attempting to auto update does nothing. :-( Windows 8.1 64-bit

[@darindial8908]

6:25 for this issue if you apply the armature modifier, click on the armature, then go to pose>apply>apply pose as rest pose, then re-apply the armature modifier, it fixes the issue without having to manually readjust the armature.

[@tommywright]

I always have to duplicate the armature modifier, then apply the duplicate, then apply the pose.

[@HawkarAso]

thanks

[@MorganFuse]

I had a walking animation, but , for some reason, after retargeting, my mesh is rotated, and moving upwards. Also, leg movement is clunky, and wierd.

[@kanagawa7d]

Why are my hands in the wrong position after retarget?

[@filmdon2475]

I follow your steps exactly for the A Pose fix, however after retargeting my animation loses its locomotion and some of the bones offset. Any fix for this?

[@RokokoMotion]

Hi! Make sure that the two poses match as close as possible. This will give you the best result. For the bone offset, open your skeleton in Unreal engine. Where it says "Skeleton Tree" click the options dropdown and turn on "Show Retargeting Options". Then for the offset bones, you want to change the option from Animation to Skeleton. Then save your skeleton asset. For the loss of locomotion make sure that you have a root bone in both the character skeleton and the skeleton you are retargeting from, and that the retarget manager has been set up correctly.

[@mastanarts]

[@ShhhHhhhz]

i have alot of old mocap animations, how do i retarget them all to my model at one go instead of doing it individually?

[@RokokoMotion]

Hello! You currently have to retarget individually, but you can reuse the bonemap for the character to speed up the process. I recommend that you write bulk retargeting as a feature suggestion on our product board for Studio Beta, as there might be possibilities for this opening up when we get our fbx import/export pipeline up and running in Beta: portal.productboard.com/rokoko/3-rokoko-ideas-roadmap/tabs/6-ideas

I'm strongly considering ditching my Perception Neuron V1 Mocap Suit for a new Rokoko suit- but do you have a livestreaming plugin for Unity / Unreal Engine? I'd rather use FaceCap for capturing my facial animations than Rokoko's inhouse facial capture.- Also what's going on with the finger tracking gloves? Haven't heard anything.

[@RokokoMotion]

[@macitseferi1843]

hi..Is just rig enough for bring the character to life?or should i add it in animation ?

[@RokokoMotion]

Heyo! Adding the rig is just the process of pairing the mesh to the bones, but you will also have to animate the bones afterwards. As for face capture, the process is similar but you will need your mesh to have the same 52 blendshapes as the ARkit that we use for that, if you want to easily retarget to your character.

[@aliakdogan9426]

thanks so much , retargeting in blender has been really terrible and disregarded ever since

[@RokokoMotion]

We hope that our tools are going to make animation easier for you :)

[@aliakdogan9426]

[@SaltedMallows]

4:58 So I get to this part and press re-targeting but when I hit the button Blender Freezes for a very long time and after it finished it was a bit disjointed with faces of the main model mesh sticking out very far for some reason

[@RokokoMotion]

Hi! You need to make sure that the two poses match each other. If they don't, it can cause the joints to get dislocated when trying to retarget the animation. If this is the case you can jump to the "A-Pose character fix" chapter in this video.

[@SaltedMallows]

@@RokokoMotion Oh I did it already it just turned out that for some reason when I hit the button to do the function it didnt do it instantly like yours it took a minute and froze until it was done, I don't know why I would prefer the instant thing you got but, take what you can get I guess?

[@CoisasdaLuisaHelena]

hello, for the retargeting go correctly, the animation need to be on T pose on the beguinning,right?

[@doekewartena5729]

I think this is outdated and no longer works correct.

[@RokokoMotion]

Heyo! The first frame of the animation should match the rest pose of the character. The easiest way to do this is to use a standard pose like the T-pose at frame zero in your animation, then just scrub the first frame when rendering so it doesn't show up in the final result.

[@mehdianim]

Does it wupport retarget to rigify or other control rigs or is it limited to bone skeletons ?

[@RokokoMotion]

Hi! Yes, you can retarget to a Rigify rig. The workflow is pretty similar to doing the normal retargeting without a control rig. Make sure you map out your bones correctly. Then you have to match the two poses and select "apply pose as rest pose". Then you choose the "current pose" option and you should be able to retarget the animation to your Rigify rig

[@animefreak1992]

[@8Yaron8]

Interesting. Is there any support for xbox 360 kinect?

[@RokokoMotion]

Hi! You can use the retargeting part of the plugin for transfering animation between any two joints / joint trees - you just may need to input the values manually. So if you had a mocap skeleton and animation generated from a Kinect, you could retarget that animation to a character using the plugin - any skeleton will work. Hope that answers your question!

[@ninicookie6300]

i wonder if this works for retargeting any other character animation too... gonna play around with the plugin :3

[@RokokoMotion]

It does! In our opinion this is really the best plugin for retargeting mocap / joint movements in general from Blender. You can aways input the joints to be transfered manually, so that allows for a lot of freedom when transfering joint movement.

[@starfishey1001]

can this be used to live stream, like for example, streaming on twitch, but instead of a face cam, it's an animated character

version 1.1.1 no longer functions properly when retargeting third party animations, such as mixamo. 1.1.0 had no issues, but with 1.1.1 it insists on leaving the root bone at its starting location. so, this means my character moves forward, but her hips stay in the starting position. reverting to the previous version fixes this entirely. all the assets are the exact same ones, the Rokoko plugin was the only variable. i have tested several times and every time i revert to previous version, everything functions properly again. thanks and be well

[@waynethornley8807]

I have a question about this - super cool btw - I imported an FBX into Blender with all the same settings as in your video, but instead of a skeleton, the rokoko model came in. Also, not in T-pose, but in the classic "I'm leaning over and clicking my mouse" start pose. :-) So I figured out that I need to uncheck "mesh" to get just the skeleton, BUT I cannot get a T-pose. Every time I import an FBX from Rokoko it comes into Blender without a T-pose, but in the pose at the start of the performance. What am I doing wrong?

[@RokokoMotion]

That is bizarre - perhaps Blender is set to start at frame 1 instead of 0? I've never seen that result before, come to one of our livestreams on KZbin on Thursday at 11AM PDT if you want to chat about it live - weird!

[@doekewartena5729]

@@RokokoMotion Thanks for the fast reply. While the pose is correct, I noticed there is a bigger problem (also in the older file). The warior skeleton has hips, spline[1-4], where the skeleton from rokoko has just spline[1-4] and DOES NOT have the hips bone. This makes the retarget go wrong cause all the vertices that belong to the hip are not retargeted to anything, and there is no slot to manually fix this.

[@RokokoMotion]

I see! You might want to try a different export setting from Rokoko Studio if that's the case. Are you using the Maya HumanIK setting when exporting? That works pretty well for most cases (it's just a different bone layout and naming standard)

you guys mind telling me why I have to pay a Subscriptions to get 24 fps when I just paid 4,000 dollars on your suit? I can't even get any animations because of all the keyframes lag my pc to oblivion.

[@Ian_Paneque]

I wish I had money for this...

[@RokokoMotion]

Hey, Ian! Did you know we are currently running a monthly animation challenge where you can win up to 500 USD this month? It's an ongoing challenge and we switch up the prizes every month! The best part is, you don't need to own any of our tools to participate 😉You can find more info here: www.rokoko.com/community/contests/made-with-rokoko

Can't log in ... Will remove it

[@MrDarkblader1]

Did you use English as the language for Blender? For some reason some languages aren't able to login. But this will be fixed in the future

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

you need to make a standalone retargeter. many people will avoid this plugin due to the absurdity of having to create an account, connect blender to the internet and login just to use the retargeting portion of this. i am not a python programmer, but this has given me incentive to rewrite your code to make the retargeter stand-alone and Offline. (I am not suggesting any malicious intent by rokoko, but the retargeter should have been accessible without an account, and the login required only for the functions that you would nomally be logged in to the website/core application for.)

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

This was where i had posted code to remove the login. I have removed it due to request by Rokoko. Thanks for the very cool product, everyone at Rokoko! be well.

[@nomorecookiesuser2223]

Oh, and of course, if the people at rokoko want me to remove the code comment, just let me know from an officially recognized account (i.e. comment to this, requesting removal, from the same account that posted the video) and thanks for making all of this to begin with. i hope to become a customer in the future.

@@nomorecookiesuser2223 Hi there, thanks for commenting. We would prefer that people don't remove the login and keep the product as it was built. Here's our reasoning: All usage of Rokoko products requires a Rokoko ID. It is our way of keeping track of what’s popular among our users, so we can better prioritize what new features and products will be most beneficial to get done (among the many things we have in our pipeline). Although we decided to give away this retargeting tool for free, it of course wasn’t free to create and it is a part of our Rokoko Studio Live plugin for Blender. That plugin requires a Rokoko Studio Plus subscription ($19/month). We wanted to be generous with the Blender community and provide these solutions for free, but this product will still be treated in the same way as all our other products when it comes to the Rokoko ID. Hope that clears it up and that you understand our reasoning. Thanks, Rokoko

@@RokokoMotion Ok, the code to bypass login has been removed, no problem. My question is, is this exact plugin as it is, going to start requiring that subscription, costing $19 per month?

[@RokokoMotion]

@@nomorecookiesuser2223 Thanks a lot. The free version that we've released for the retargeting will keep being free. However, if you want to use the entire plugin in this video where you connect it with Rokoko Studio and stream data from either your suit, gloves or something else to the plugin, you will need to subscription. One caveat though, we are planning to change our pricing structure soon, so people working singlehandedly on project with small budgets can access this all for free. Will be rolled out in late September. More info then :) Thanks!
