This one was a BLAST to make! And I'm stoked to have been able to bring the laptop and suit to the Tempest Academy (parkour gym). What kinds of mocap videos would YOU like to see?? :D
Can you make some kitchen mocap? Combine that with lazytutorials by ian and viola! Or what about action anime-chasing stuff, raid to kitchen and do some kunai chopping lol
I'd love to see you go through making a feature type shot with a feature quality rig and show us how you can use all the tools of both animators and mocap artists to make an amazing shot in a relatively short amount of time.
Thank you
Try out our AI mocap next time - much faster and easier :) Happy to set you up!
In mocap, you should have broken hand like dead pool.
Please sir 🙏make a video on the basis of, convert walk cycle animation to progressive walk😭 animation 🙏😭
I'd really love to see a video on how to use mocap for more cartoony animation. So basically how to simplify the data, removing all the unnecessary details and then exaggerate the poses to read better and have more personality.
You can use mocap as a rough for your poses. Use that data, save the key frames it in another Animation layer and remove the orginal data. Then from there you can animate like usual moving the keys into a more exggerated timing, push the pose even more. Basically you sped up your blocking stage into possibly half a day's work
@@kaokoki5983 thats what i use mo cap and the ocational rotoscope to to do before adding 2d animation for face, cloths, hair, ect over the top. saves a lot of time and looks better then what i can do in pure 2d
i don't feel like mocap is good for that
@@ripples1072 Probably not, but for people like me it's a much easier option than hand animating everything.
@@ripples1072 works surprisingly well with a little effort
If you haven’t already I recommend to look into applying a rig to work with, it will make it a lot easier to edit the animations. Since you’ve already mapped out your character you should be able to just switch on HIK control rig in maya.
I really like that you went to the gym to record, that’s awesome! ✨
You should try the auto sampling feature combined with keyframe smoothing in blender to make your mocap look super smooth!
can we do cartoon style with Motion Capture ?
You have come a long way in Blender already, its awesome to see you delving into textures and lighting, there is so much you can do with it. "EEVEE Next" is coming "2.0" you can preview in EEVEE with materials that you can tweak in cycles after. Congratulations on having fun :O)
Can we get like a 10 part tutorial on this lol. The ups, the downs, struggles and valuable lessons learned type tutorials. I'd love to see your whole process on custom mocap.
I save a million times in different files. Also you can Export your FBX out just for saves as well. Lastly, I work with MotionBuilder for Mocap then send to Maya. Your first time out with Rokoko is better than most.
can we do cartoon style with Motion Capture ?
You convinced us. We are going to buy Rokkoko now! haha
Bro jumped in to the Matrix and got out after learning Kung-Fu.
I love your vids, man. Entertaining and informative, as always.
Hey man! Mma guy getting into gamedev. You've helped me alot with this so I thought I'd leave a combat distance guide for you if you ever want to a good basic mma choreography.
When in body to body distance:
try elbows, knees, headbutts.
In short range with minimal space
between:
try hooks, elbows that you step into to close distance, step into knees to close distance, and upper cuts.
In long range (extended arm distance or a little outside in case of kicks): straight punches, front kicks, leg kicks, head kicks, and body kicks.
Hope this maybe could help you in the future. The idea is that your shots are at full extension of the muscle, and that you don't jam yourself up halfway through the motion and lose power.
Best of luck in the future!
Oh! OK this is a thread now actually. When getting hit from the push kick, you are only launched if you hit the Chestplate or sternum as it provides a solid platform to push off of skeletal structure. If you are push kicked in the stomach, your hips will be pushed back, but your feet will remain planted. The only time you are launched from a push kick to the stomach is if you are up on one leg. Watch "Teep" highlights and you can see several examples. Continuing on.
Man you move beautifully with the parkour that's awesome. Animations look amazing I need me a dang suit.
Would it be possible to rotoscope on top of this and make a video game mechanic out of it as well???
Sick stuff man, I'm trying to figure out ways to cut my time to proficiency down and the suit will help alot I feel.
Man thanks for the vid. This helped me a ton!
It's not as mighty as that Razer but I was finally able to save up and get the base model 14" Razer blade with a 3060 last week. I'm super stoked for the improvement to my workflow. I ran the Blender render benchmarking tool on the computer I've been working with and got a score of 26, then the Razer got about 2500.
Hello wade, Im an aspiring video game developer and i love your videos and they have helped me understand animation so much. When im not working on games I work at geek squad as an advanced repair agent where we do data recovery on lost files quite often. If you still are wanting to recover that 6 weeks of work you could try running data recovery software such as seagate data recovery suite. Lost files are never fully lost. Just wanted to throw that out there just incase you really wanted your files back wanted to let you know it is recoverable.
Great to see you getting into mocap! Hit me up if you ever have any questions on anything I have this suit as well 🤙🏿
Literaly just started a new job where i need to learn to animate MoCap. Brilliant timing
Awesome video Sir Wade! :D
People are always saying how Mocap is something that will take over animation at some point
Even though it's not exactly true, I imagine there being a Mocap/Handkey workflow so that instead of fighting each other for jobs, Animators and Mocap artists can come together and do awesome stuff! :D
Mocap could make shooting reference so much more worth while!!!
Thanks for the upload!
You wonderful man! Very cool demonstration. I appreciate the creativity.
Sir Wade.... Use the texture coordinate node and mapping, the texture will then not look stretched at all. Mapping helps to control how the texture is scaled or rotated etc. And Use the node wrangler addon; And you can do this with Ctrl + T. Also, with this, you can view things easily by using Ctrl + Shift + Left Click.
This is awesome. I always thought about getting one of those suits and seeing this from your animator perspective has been informative and fun to watch.
can we do cartoon style with Motion Capture ?
Would love to see how you set up the settings for MOCAP, and use it for Cartoony Animation.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to future vidz.
Hey sir.. great stuff :). Love how the Tron like moving parkour came out!
Wow, the green mask OVER the glove?! Never seen that done yet.
I did something quite similar to your 3rd result a few years ago using the kinect as my mocap device, I wanted to make a series of shorts under a minute each. The problem I ran into was one, the kinect obviously needed a ton more cleanup than a real mocap suit would. But the big problem was I couldn't figure out a good re-targeting system to use slightly different rigs for characters. If you could do some learning on how to mix mocap with proper control rig stuff that would be awesome.
I really wanna see the Terminator hand video.....you could also talk about the compositing as well
You could make a Sir Wade mocap animation pack and sell it lol.
Would be a pack of random actions you do, maybe polish them with your touch, and make em available as a package
I actually wanted to know if I can experiment with cheerleading & mo-cap, so I'm glad to have seen your process at the gym🤸🏾
There used to be a tool I would use to clean up raw mocap data called IKinema Webanimate. I recently learned that the company was bought by Apple, so I don't know that their tools are accessible anymore. Would be curious to know about current workflows for cleaning up mocap data that might be similar or at least as efficient as IKinema's filtering algorithm was. I know there are a couple options in Blender, but not sure about Maya.
awesome video!! Always iterate the project files so you wont lose progress:)
The bit you're trying to do with your arm is the same aim as what I was hoping to achieve. I don't have the suit so I've been trying to work with cameras but its so buggy I've all but given up. I hope the prices come down on them soon. Or maybe someone will come up with a service to rent them? that'd be awesome
In addition to the green glove, a couple sticky dots to track for the purpose of parenting some masks would help with the order of layers problem
ow. No one is going address 2:56?
Because I do know what happened.
Also, it's been mind blowing to see how your expertise has grown since you enter into the Blender space. It's awesome!
YUUSSSSS
PLEASE IF YOU LOVE US PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON MOTION CAPTURE CLEAN UP
I need it so badly ;-;
You should try facial mocap with rokoko next.
Awesome!! The next time you do this it’ll prob look 20 times better than it already does! The second time is always exponentially better.
so, sooo happy to see a new video!
Gosh.. I had a similar issue a couple of times where all my animation data got deleted upon re-opening a scene. If a scene crashes now, I immediately open another instance of maya and open that scene before force closing the other. I have found this keeps it from randomly deleting the data.
Whenever I was researching why this happens, I recall coming across a blog from a Tech Artist that talked about animation curve nodes (?) getting disconnected and that might be the reason why the animation went poof. Not 100% on that though.
you are giving us the most wanted One!!! thank you !
Oh man you're so different with the beard, lol, Okay i'll pay attention to the video now xD
Really cool!!! Wish I had one of these lol.
did you go into the .ma file? try opening the file with echo all commands turned on in the script editor and looking for maya getting caught on ... something... sometimes you can just delete parts of the MA file or a NaN got stuck in there... honestly reply to this if you need tech help with maya :)
My heart breaks for you at 3:20. Maya seriously does this to me all the time. Really awesome, informative video! Awesome and appreciated work!
you really needed that man... great workout suit :D :D :D
Great video! I just started playing around with mo cap in motionbuilder. For me coming from Maya; editing the baked keys is challenging. I guess because I have been using Maya so long it’s super easy to that in the graph editor, but in MB, in FCurves it’s different. I guess I just have to get used to it.
Updating to this post I made a few days ago…I have recently learned that in MotionBuilder the idea is to not edit the original animation curve but rather bake to control rig and create a new animation layer, leaving the original animation intact. Already learning more than I did a few days ago! 😃💪🏾🔥💯

My Smartsuit 2 is coming in April. Do you think getting a laptop to capture data will be better than using my PC workstation (which will be in another room)? Or can I use my Ipad? I also have a Surface Pro tablet I could dust off.
Epic video
Awesome video! I was working with mocap some days ago and had a little problem and wanted to know if you or anyone could have an awnser for me: I edited the mocap animation with a rig but now i dont know how to export it into Unity and conserve the edits i made. The exports i did were done in fbx, and only showed the original mocap animation. I need to export the animated joints and the mesh. Im using Cinema 4D and Blender.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could lend me a hand. Thank you!!
love it! 😁
*Motion capture* is the Master & Only technique which Gives *Real Animation and saves valuable time*
i like this stuff ..
Do you have any tips on how to reduce the magnetic interferences? Because your raw data looks pretty good compared to what I’ve managed to accomplish. 🙂 Nice video!
Thanks for this. I came to this video hoping you'd show us more of your Maya workflow & experience with the Human IK system. I was interested in more details on the little Maya tricks you were doing, like custom Shelf buttons.
Love the best of both world approach with Maya+Blender!
BTW Blender finally added the drag to add node in the shader editor, so you just drag a connection to an empty space to create an input/output node from a connector.
(Now it's on par with Unity Godot and Unreal ux wise)
If you go again to Tempest, my bro Spider trains there! Top stuntman! He is amazing!!
I'm a generalist and sometimes I need to make animations, you said that you had to put all the hats, it's so wierd seeing how thats how I do stuff all the time, I need a good topologly because i'm the only doing the UV later one you know?, sometimes I guess I just forget how much I do when I'm creating stuff, kudos to all and all animators out there, 100% one of the most difficult jobs on the industry.
Nice suit
4:20 is important . He created a tempo for himself to work. Same as I do 😄
I work with mocap... despite what people believe it's not perfect solution and requires a lot of hand animating but you can do so much in very short time.
Your audio De-Esser went a bit crazy on this one
Very very cool stuff though
I totally feel ya on loosing your work. My Maya did nothing but crash for YEARS. I would save V1, V2... V128 to make sure I didn't loose what I was doing, still corrupted my some of my files. Heartbreaking.
Great, but the motion caption is not as easy as you think, even though we are using the VMD camera...
Great Job.
cool! thanks for sharing!
Cool - is it v1 or v2 suit?
V2 I think!
Hey Wade! Awesome video, as always. Try Noitom's Perception Studio at some point. It's waaaay better than Rokoko's suit (I own both). You can actually record translation, rolls, climbing, etc. It's practically on par with XSENS, but 2-3 times cheaper.
People aren't understanding this is the future of UA-cam
Was there any reason for not using Mobu? I assume you're just comfortable with maya and used HIK? Would love to see you dive into mobu, similar to your blender episodes!
Can you make a video on the new unity human maker and new graphics features
Man, nice beard 🧔♂️
Empty files seems to be in every software Maya, blender and 3ds max. It's frustrating.
Thanks! I’m considering trying something to do an effect like leia in rogue one. Could you recommend a tutorial for facial capture? Thanks!
Do you not save incrementally? v01 -> v99 for example.. if one of the files, everything is gone, I'd just go back to an earlier version.
i would love if you made that environment for the battle scene a fbx file to download. PLS!
Where did you get the suit from, please give the linke where i can buy the suit from
We need face tracking for those epic fighting expressions of yours LOL
how to target mocap data to cartoony rig (like Sonic)
How long would It take to film in motion capture 100 "animation files" with a professional actor and a professional room? And then how long ti animate a 3D character model with those animations? (Character and animations for a videogame)
Can you integrate your motion capture with Unreal Metahuman? I would like to see that . Thank you.
I'd be really pleased when you can give a try to iclone 8 curve editor
Please make video with vive tracker on the suit and give us the detailed results. And I know now that you live in LA so I’ll be coming for that 3080ti laptop while you sleep. 😂
super cool! where'd you find the setting to have the gloves drive the arms in rokoko software? Can't seem to find the "turn on IK arms" button
It was the default behavior for me once I updated everything
ua-cam.com/video/37wE3nUzVlc/v-deo.html
That beard of yours reminds me of this Twitch streamer. But besides that, this is awesome!
I work in motionbuilder which is probably the most specialised software for mocap but I wonder how Bleder deals with it.
How expensive would a set up like this be, minus the pc and monitors, would it be really expensive or reasonably affordable ?
Check out Xanadu it will give you an idea on what you can do with the suit 😁
Mocap is really awesome but expensiive.
you can buy one or two kinect version 2 kameras and do mocap with those, they work pretty good, there is even free software to record mocap with them.
if you really want a mobile studio the rokoko suit in the video is pretty great, it does cost 2000$ I think but that's not so expensive compared to other mocap solutions
@@overdev1993 Yeah the kinect thing is pretty good but, the final results are kind of missed up compared to animating with keyframes.
@@Aniceghost can i have a link to see that please ?
hallo i have a question , is it possible to use a motion capture suite outside and interact with peoples ? like for example i would like to give the motion capture suite to a basketball player during a game and replace that player with a 3d avatar is this possible ?
No backups?? No auto save? No incremental saves??? You so brave….))
I had all of those active unfortunately
Maya can surprise….
Next, how to mocap without mocap suit. ( Not just for IOS iPhone!!! But for Android too. :) )
As I am using online motion capture service using my phone video footage, I am finding it to be not as smooth as what you are producing.
Have you had to clean up any motion capture and how would you go about it?
Why do the metallic characters appear to be 'vibrating' when zoomed in on them?
Please sir 🙏 tell me how to create progressive walk animation perfectly😔 please please
Would you say that a mocap can make your workflow faster? Or no? Why?
looks cool but do you feel its accurate? Seems like there is a bit of sliding and such. I have no experience. Maybe it is like that with all mocap?
Some times maya does that sadly:( For my case maya deletes the scene when I set project. My solution is make 2 saves one in the scene folder on outside of the scene folder.
I think if you want to tell stories as a freelancer, mocap is the right choice.
u are master at blender shading !
Could you run? Could you make walk cycles without manual cleanup that was more timeconsuming that just doing it manually in the first place? I can't believe that Rokoko is selling this rig for over 4000€....the tracking is really bad from what I've seen.
Hey, SW As a total newbie how much are we talking money wise? Cheers!
how to transfer animation from manequien to rigged character?
What do you think about Presto?
Busy with after effects, motion graphics
The maya file could be corrupted by solar radiation, not joking.
Save incrementally instead of over the same file over and over again
