As a voice actor, I wouldn't be surprised if this starts replacing my mocap jobs soon. It seems much cheaper too. Big + Also a huge fan of your work Loacher!
I had no idea that Star Wars short was done using Rokoko it had just popped up in my recommendations generally because I like seeing what the fans are doing, thanks for doing an up to date review on their gear, I'm a games developer and if I can ever afford it the Rokoko suit is going to be my next big purchase, very excited about their gloves.
$3K is less than nothing for thr price of admission into 3d animation in the long run. Most 3d animators will tell you how much of a cheat code MoCap is. I'm unironically hyped to see what other peeps might do with this.
I noticed how clean the capture is when you are outdoors with no interference from metals and stuff... I am on the hunt to get my suit to work on my games and seeing how clean the data helps a ton. The hard part is trying to lower magnetic interference and I hope Rokoko can work on that
Even if the suit was average, their customer support is awesome! I was having a unique experience trying to connect the smart suit pro to the new rokoko software, which we got working in minutes. :D
Wow this technology is amazing. Loved the last fan film. Would love to see some duels reimagined in the engine. Like a luke vs Snoke and Luke vs Kylo duel totally reimagined. Lightsaber clashes and everything. Keep up the great work man!
My question is, that can you use this suit as an actual undersuit of a real clone trooper cosplay? Becouse in that way, you could've record mutch realistic movements, like for example, in 4:08, youre arm is collapsing with youre chest, and also, you could't crouch that way in a clone armor. But in an clone trooper armor, you could've feel youre movements, making them almost 100%realistic. And yeah I know, that a clone trooper cosplay isn't a cheap thing :)
To act movements for Clone troopers is sooo cool! I have to admit that I'm jealous. :) But you have to work on thinking, that you wear a clonetrooper armor, because it often looks like, that the tricept/upper arm armor is glitching in the side of the chest armor. ;) Keep up the great work!
I'm so Jealous, I've always wanted to Mo-cap characters that appear on the same Screen, primarily clone troopers. i found it fun to do a set for an Actor. than do another set reacting to the previous Actor to make it look like two people.
wow thanks for sharing. did you do the mocap take outside to minimize the magnetic interference? looks pretty clean. I bet you plan on getting the rokoko gloves when they ship right?
How was the retargeting process from Rokoko skeleton to UE4? Did you use regular Manequin or some custome one like AdvancedLocomotionSystem skeleton? Did you need to perform any major cleanup (other than proper setup of arm position to fit rifle for example)? Also, I wonder how did you learn overall about technical aspects of creating cinematics in UE4. Did you just relly on official documentation and Epic tutorials? And as usual thanks for all of your great work! You serve me as an inspiration as I'm getting into cinematics in UE4 as well! Though I'm still a rookie using Mixamo, but most of the time I dedicate to making my own models :D
I did my retargeting in Autodesk Maya The way I go about it is that I take my animation rig set up for the characters, and I transfer the mocap animation to the controllers of the rig using orient and parent constraints From then on cleanup is pretty simple, using animation layers and all that Yea I learned UE4 through official documentation, along with watching UA-cam tutorials The majority if what I've learnt comes from experimenting on my own however Thanks for the kind words! 🙏
Looks awesome! Can't wait to get mine. Their website says 4-6 weeks but it is actually closer to 10-12 weeks. Still waiting on mine. I'll let ya'll know in my upcoming review once I get it. Hopefully I don't have to wait another 2 months for it.
I got my smart suit pro and it’s amazing. Doing animations in minutes which would have taken hours and hours by hand. I have crash mats to do falls on but I am seriously worried the wires will pull out or the sensors will break. Also if you land on your back, doesn’t it turn off the hub?
Finger tracking isn't included in the Smartsuit, for that Rokoko are working on tracking gloves. So yep, the finger movements were hand animated, hand animations were adjusted a bit to fit the characters.
Buddy! With this amount of motion cap at your finger tips, you can try actually bringing CGI into the real world, just like how movies are made. You motion capture a character to freakin give you a high five in real life!!😂😂😂
Mocap is awesome, but try not to rely on it too much. Having the skill to animate by hand is still very helpful. I’ve seen this problem with a lot of people who use motion capture with super acrobatic fights.
I wanna see a short film where the camera is on the end of a clone`s gun switching from facing the enemy to facing the clone holding it. It would be great if it passed from clone to clone.
i would like a complete motion capture suite with headset like they used in the movie planet of the apes and in ninja turtles . My question is how do i capture my facial expressions if the suite doesn't comes with a headset . Do you have to buy the headset seperately ?
Hey! You actually don't need a monthly subscription to use the Smartsuit Pro or Rokoko Studio. You can download the software for free and see what's included in the basic version here: www.rokoko.com/en/shop
Hello! One question - are you really able to record running? :). I own Rokoko and Perception Neuron Studio and also my own solution build around VIVE trackers. I use Rokoko a lot for more stationary movements, but running is just impossible to record for me.
I've recently began learning animation and I was wondering why you choose to use ue4 rather than software made more for this specific purpose such as maya or blender especially considering you have to use that software in other steps of production
back in the day I chose UE4 because I've only had rendering experience with game engines at that point now I'm sticking to it because it has tools so good they would be a mistake not to use
@@loacherfilms Hey Loacher, hopping in here. No need to go in depth, but what tools are you referring to? Real time rendering? Node based materials? Niagra? Chaos?
Dear LoacherFilms, I wish,you ansewered to my question It's pretty valuable for me I guess,you use motion capture or something like that(mean suit) So,the question is:"For example,I got original cgi files of clone trooper(ROTS),but armor adapted to Morrisons' body proportions and height.Are there any possibilities,aka functions in program to adapt armor for another height and body"?
Motion Capture only gives you a skeleton with animations, i.e. your recorded movements Retargeting that to the skeletons of your characters is something you need to do yourself This can be done in Motionbuilder, Maya, Blender, or any other 3D software of choice ✌️

It's amazing how technology is so advanced these days.
Yah
10 years ago, the thought of a motion capture suit being commercially available was laughable
Totally, its just humans that don't advance as fast

I cannot stress enough how talented this guy is.
Seriously, only 88k?
WHAT
You deserve more.
❤
Dang, that must make your animation films so much easier as there is almost no actual animating which allows you put out more great content.
It would be so cool if you could do a mandalorian battle or even a Jedi vs sith. That would be super cool
Siege Of Mandalore
One day mo cap will so inexpensive that anyone can use it to create anything they can imagine. What an amazing time to be alive
Most likely it will be possible just using regular camera, but then pushing a vid through AI that will define the animation, it is already studied.
That suit looks like so much fun
Very nice. Big fan of your work for a long time.
Wow this technology is amazing. Loved the last fan film. Would love to see some duels reimagined in the engine. Like a luke vs Snoke and Luke vs Kylo duel totally reimagined. Lightsaber clashes and everything. Keep up the great work man!
It's so cool to see how you make your videos
This channel deserves more than a million subs
It's nice to see how you make such amazing animations
That’s super cool of how you do that! I bet that’s a lot of fun! Keep up the great work!
Always wanted to be a film maker, thanks for the review
I KNEW IT!! I knew they weren’t hand animated! Still love your work, though.
That's honestly really cool.
Also favorite part of the video was you just falling over.
How do you make any profit off this? UA-cam can't possibly pay well enough for such high quality work
By selling animations or animated models or by making games and movies
I love your work! It's amazing and so detailed! Keep up the absolute best work I've ever seen!
Could you make a tutorial like those you've made for SFM?
How do you only have 88k subs...your animations are amazing and you deserve well over a million

If this would work, he should collab with GalacticArmory. :D

Amazing video, not even in the market for a mocap suit but this still is intersting and well made
Cool, so this is how you do it.

Man, this is so amazing i wish i could try one. well done mate
Did you create the 3d models yourself? These look great!
I just preorder Pro 2! Which will be even better
GREAT JOB MAN!!!!
I would absolutly adore to make videos and animations like this 🤩
Yestarday I was wondering how you did the order 66 video because the animation were really good, now I have my answers haha
Need to make a RvB comedy series with this.

Great video. Did you end up animating the hands yourself(what did you do for hands)? or have they updated their suit to track hand motions? Thanks!

how u still liking this man?
can't complain!
How easy is it to use on a scale of one to ten?
In all honesty, a solid 10
Great, The way you used it was smooth!
i would like a complete motion capture suite with headset like they used in the movie planet of the apes and in ninja turtles . My question is how do i capture my facial expressions if the suite doesn't comes with a headset . Do you have to buy the headset seperately ?
You should do star wars vs halo
Are you able to play with a ball? and is there a way to record its movements too? I want to ad basketball mocap to my animations ;). Thank you!
I freaking one want one!!!
How about clothing on top of the suit i.e. Armor, backpacks weapon props?
Incredible!
I just got this suit. Why don't you use Blender instead of Maya since it's much more cost efficient? I'm trying to choose between the two.
Does manually entering in your measurements help with the knees popping around?
How did you create the starwars characters... sorry I’m new to this stuff

Where did you get those models from tho?
Hey just a question, how do you make the shorts? Is it a certain program??
Hey bud quick question. How are the fingers of the hands gripping the light sabers if the suit comes with no finger trackers?
Those need to be animated manually ✌️
