      well, one thing is an advanced algorithm that analyzes the location of the receivers 1000 times/s, including their distance from the camera, also allows you to make movements that cannot be seen (hand behind the head), and the other is kinect from xbox 360

      @@Dread_2137 That's not a kinect. According to their product description (this channel is from the creators of the mocap software used on the left side) they use a simple webcam or video file as input (no depth tracking like the kinect) and apparently use AI to visually identify and interpret the person motions and export the data in real time to your preferred engine (Unity, Unreal), which is pretty cool. They even have a limited time free trial in their website.

  • @RedBirdRabbit
    @RedBirdRabbit Рік тому +4957

    This is a really good demonstration of why mocap in film isn't just a matter of recording an actor's motions!
    Miku mimics the dancer's motions perfectly here, but differences in proportions make a HUGE difference in the energy of the performance. The shoulders especially make this super clear- the dancer uses a lot of big, dramatic shoulder motions, but Miku's shoulders are so thin and comparatively close-together that the energy of her motion isn't anywhere near as dramatic.
    In a production setting, an artist would use the mocap data as a basis for further animation, working to convey the spirit of the actor's performance more closely.
    There are a lot of Hollywood types that try to sell the idea that mocap performances in movies are 1:1 copied from data created through the actor's performance, but it's important to remember to respect the work animators put in to give that data convincing life :D

      It still really struggles with rendering heels naturally though. Unless someone can rig up high heels with trackers, there's always going to be movements or postures that you either can't do in heels or have to do differently, that won't translate nicely into the render.

    but if you get a model with a nice amount of extra "bones" or "joints" you are going to get a lot more realistic of movement.

      her face is also being captured by mocap, so it could also be part of her job to make miku by default look happy and energetic during the dance. though I’m sure she’s having fun, it can also be even more work to consciously keep a big smile and animated expressions while dancing, so chances are they asked her to be expressive.

    a cool little list for everything the $25k model does rlly well:
    - the model is always on the ground, and if the dancer moves they copy it
    - there’s rarely any clipping, only in the skirt mainly
    - the model also copies facial expressions
    - no one mentioned this but she even has a shadow under her
    - the fingers match too
    - the hair never clips and moves kinda realistically
    - it can copy subtle movements like the body roll she does
    - its a full model, no spots are left unfinished
    - it even looks like the model exaggerates some expressions, most obvious at the end
    - it’s also somehow always on time
    - doesn’t glitch out with hard or fast moves like the spins, kick, or fast hand movements around the head
    - she also has heels but her ankles still move

      it definitely doesn't copy the facial expressions, i'm assuming what you saw were just coincidences. if you look closely you can see that the model is lipsyncing to the song and there are a lot of instances when the faces don't match so i'm guessing the facial expressions are added in later

      The X shape of the shadows are meant to mimic stage lights, there’s no shadow of the full body because her back and sides are also powerfully lighted, so the shadow casted is just of the lights hitting her legs from all angles. This technique was also used in old idolm@ster games.

      Not really. The 100 dollar version looks choppy and floaty while the 25k version looks like it's in the room and is quite smooth besides an issue with the dress. The movement is so roughly translated in the 100 dollar one that I would say it's not even worth it, and someone should shop for something closer to the 1000 dollar region if they are serious and trying to capture full body movement.
      Of course, all the issues that are glaring to one person might not be so obvious to another.

I am guessing by the end no matter how good of shape she is in she is a bit toasty due to the garments.
    KUDOS!
    The left hand dancer is MAGNIFICENT for $100. Holy Hannah things have come a long way. The $25k gear makes the right Miku look like a pretty good approximation of a REAL dancer. The feet always matching ground level is very noticeable. I saw in comments the Miku also had shadows but honestly I did not notice it until I read that. I watched the anime characters for about a minute and then just focused on the real dancer. THAT is a problem as she just blows me away and the others are just distractions. OBVIOUSLY this is great for mocap/games/anime etc etc etc but the fact that I chose to watch a person in a goofy getup dance their heart out rather than "cutie swiss-miss anime girl" on left or "sexy-cutie anime girl" on right lets ***ME*** personally know that real people still out do tech wizardry ....

Then she would have to try and do the EXACT same performance for each suit, which is unrealistic, and any deviations would be difficult to say if it's the suit or her performance that causes any difference in model behavior/accuracy.

    I really like that a lot of the moves were to highlight potential challenges with this kind of technology. Spins, arms going behind the head or body, arms going straight forward, moving between foreground and background, points of precision movement, head movement, etc. It definitely showcases the more expensive equipment that clearly spent money to address these things while the cheapest one freaked out. If the camera can't understand depth of field well or can only see what is seen from the front, of course it will have those issues where one that uses a different system won't.
    So I like that the dance was both entertaining and made sure to make it an honest comparison rather than something "easy" to give the cheap one a chance.

      you get endurance through working out regularly... when I was younger and my knees didn't hurt, I did 5 mile runs w/o breaks (now it's aerobics & some weightlifting). It's time for you to start cardio my dude. It feels awesome to be in cardio shape, it's what out bodies are built for. It feels like flying sometimes.

    Surprised how good they both are! The 25k holy crap, amazing software. That being said, it's kind of amazing how well the cheap one did for only $100, but its flaws were glaringly obvious. Even so, for $100, great starting point. The dancer, wow. Someone should link her channel if she has one, quite talented with great positive energy!

    Very nice tracking and the mocap is similar to the Kinects when used for virtual FBT trackers in VR. I see similar limitations with not able to do subtle movements and only ever being able to face forward for tracking and even some issues with the arms when pointing ahead instead of outward like in the final pose as the end of the dance.

    My take is that the 100$ one is pretty good, and more than enough for most people who aren't doing so many complex movements. That said, the $25k one is clearly superior, and if you want to actually capture all the small detailed movements, then its kinda insane how big the cap is between them. In other words, the 100$ one is pretty good, the $25k one is reeealy f**king good

      ⁠ just because one is way better than the other doesnt mean you cant compare them. They are both mocap, and both are trying to replicate the same thing. The whole point of this comparison is to show how much of a improvement the right is from a cheap basic mocap.

    This is EXACTLY how Vex Ruby works. Vex Ruby uses a full OptiTrack system with face tracking for live streams. I’m so glad this video exists as it makes it easy to explain why we went that route. Motion Capture for life!

    The thing is, the one on the right has shadows. On her legs, and around her feet. They are pretty static, but it helps sell the realism. It's a minor thing that you don't actively notice, but that alone helps a lot.

    $100 is for game type of streaming, while $25K definitely for dancing since the best alternative is not wearing mocap

      @@kurrielle yes but the company putting out the above video sells the left one :P a 100$ isn't a lot and it does track motion, but I'd wánt to have the right option, If I'd make money from using the cheaper option I'd def save for the more expensive setup.
