In this video we will create Motion animations with the help of Motorica AI. This is very powerful tool if you want to create motions for cinematics, cut scenes or even motion matching with your in-game character.

so why the channel got demonetized? I cant find the explanation anywhere.
I am curious too
It was fine until some backend AI wanted me to verify my bank account. They asked for documents. I send them 10 times documents, even documents where I get paid by UA-cam. And the AI behind it always asks "Documents were rejected upload again".
I contacted support - they said documents are fine, upload them again... Again reject, again support ticket and it's the same loop for a month.
After that I contacted a person I know working in google. He filed an internal case to check the situation.
They said "upload your documents, your documents are fine, they should pass."
They did not pass anything -> "Rejected -> Upload Documents Again"
It was one month + communication with support and they assure me the documents are fine, however they got rejected each time. So I gave up and make a patreon. Which is WAY BETTER!
But still dude, you are getting views and have hot content. You would think @UA-cam could spare one human from the mean comment division for 10 minutes to solve this problem and apologise.
Hope they see this and pull their finger out. Keep up the great content.
@@CGDealers Make a Kofi. They take $5 per month and nothing else. To my understanding, Patron takes like half.
@@Movman82 Yes but Patreon is the better platform and has better tools. I'm looking for user experience and satisfied developers not getting "rich"
This is a step in the right direction. As soon as it works for players and the fingers are fixed, it will definitely be tested hard^^
I love your channel! thanks for keeping us updated. looking forward to your next video
Thank you so much!
for anyone that potentially have an error with the plugins not showing up, make a 'Plugins' folder in the same area as the main folder (outside of engine or config) and the motorica ai will show up
Holy crap, this is awesome! Wow, thanks so much for sharing :)
Glad you liked it!
Game changer right here.
Cool! Thanks!
No problem!
While this is indeed bloody awesome, it's worth pointing out that you can not use this tool to produce commercial applications, i.e. movies and games that you intend to sell. At least not at this point in time where Motorica has no paid subscription, which according to its TOS is required for a license that allows commercial usage. The free license gives you assets licensed under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license.
You can always contact them and sign a deal for license. As this is still super new and fresh AI tool, exciting things are coming!
Well that kills the point of using it. I thought it would be free and save me costs as a solo dev. Im not going to buy a license for something that isnt even earning me money and idk if it will.
For the moment it's absolutely free@@kenalpha3
@@CGDealers Free, but not commercially useable. That's the point.
At the moment no. It's still in development. For me it's too early even if you pay for it.@@Chris-lc3wi
keep doing what you've done thanks for simple and clear tutorial you earn this like and sub
Thank you!
amazing!
Thanks!
WOW!
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Subscribe for
a lot more cool stuff coming up!
Thanks for the update on UE5's AI journey. That's weird why did it become demonetized?
Check the comment above.
Is there a way to have the camera 'follow' the animated character within the scene at always the same distance and angle?
Id like to see Cascadeur develop a plugin. Hot damn.

Thank you for this tutorial. Is it possible to use the retargeted animations for motion matching in it's current stage?
Yes. Apperently i saw another video that it works. I’ll try it myself soon and make a walkthrough video!
sounds great, yeah I think I saw a similar video, but I think there are still some bugs in regards to setting up the motion matching itself in Unreal 5. could there be a way to use these kinds of animations in root motion based locomotion, while imitating motion matching? @@CGDealers
I was wondering after watching, what makes you define AI in this method because I think, this method is just to be used with previous motions
Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say it could support in game characters in the future? I didn't see such a limitation when you were demonstrating. If you could let me know some of the current limitations that would be great! Great video!
It’s like a pre-recorded animation. But i saw a video that it works with motion matching and in game characters already. I just didnt test it yet!
@@CGDealers so in the video you have a retargetted animation to ue5 character ...why canot use that animation in a game ? (for example i set a NPC and i give him that animation to do that movement ,what is the problem? ) ......sience is retargetted to ue5 i dont see the problem ? .....or did you meant mabe they have copyrights limitations and we canot use the animations in a game or any kind of comercial use? )
@@MaxStudioCG2023no problem to use it on npc but it moves in space. For example in your third person character if you dont use motion matching it will move away from your character.
None player characters such as enemy characters can move in space so this should be fine for enemy characters, because you are not controlling them.
@@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591 ehat about the copyrights? can those anims be selled on anything? this is the main question haha
can we retarget this skeleton mesh into directly metahuman or do we need to first retarget to ue character and than retarget to the metahuman?
You can directly to meta human np.
@@CGDealers Could you make a brief tutorial on this? I have tried but have issues with the mesh bulking my metahuman when I attempt to retarget. And the arms are squiggles lol
Can you export these animations?. I use iclone, its great for looping and tweeking. I'll have to look this up. I remember watching a tut years ago. Is it an option in the sequencer?
You can, there is also a web application if u need them outside if unreal.
@@CGDealers I downloaded prompt to AI animation last night. It was complete rubbish. This looks good.
Wots the website. Cheers.

How would you add that animation to a meta human
This can be great for Archviz.
Now, where's the AI for UV Mapping?
This will be game changing :D
so this motorica have anything like hitting animations, like souls games anims? or mainly is just for locomotions movements?
at the moment no.
trying out motion matching with these animations
Let me know the result!
Nice but if i hear retarget i have goosebumps and just skip. I Look for real plugin that can handle with text typing or commands animation i want to see and it works with manequinn out of box. That Ai should be made for right now. Thanks for info that plugin exist.There is also Cascadeur on the market
Yeah i would love also one single click to animation workflow but we are still not there yet.
So its just loaded with lots of preset animations like mixamo for example. Can you use it to generate custom animations? Like specific dancing etc?
At the moment as far as I saw it's presets that you can mix up together.
@@CGDealers how is this ai tho? is interpolation between pre recorded animations ai in your book? we already do that. this looks like a great library of animations with great blending capability.
As far I could check, animations don't loop :( .... you can do cool stuff with rootmotion montages (for cinematics) but won't serve for looping movement animations... or am I missing something?
You can join the motorica discord and ask there. But as far as I saw you are correct.
ю хев. ))) лет ми спик фром май хард
God please do something for the auto-retargeting stuff, universal agreement or something. I have so many model with exotic bones it's take a thousand year to retarget it one by one
It's a hard stuff to universe it. I'm not a programmer in my core. That needs some serious programming skills to make it automatic. Even Epic don't have such a tool as far as i know. To work with every single different skeleton and retarget it automatic.
Yes, maybe one day we'll see something like the USD but in the rig world lmao, be that as it may, thank you very much for your work and channel @@CGDealers !
When I think I look cool running 🏃
-How I actually look: (as crooked as the hands)
😀
Wonderfull! I'm looking for a cinematic caurse. Is this for me too?
Yes, it is!
Is it for blender too
Yes
@@CGDealers bring atut on it too, will be useful
@@emmanode I work with Maya, not blender. Sorry.
That's probably a Russian accent? Спасибо за видео!
Nope. Bulgarian :)
@@CGDealers Oh sorry! Cool!
is it support with ue 5.4 ???
Yes
hi I press the generate animation button but nothing happens. Why is that?
have you ticked the box at the right of the thug or what youve selected
does it works with meta humans?
Yes
Why is your UA-cam page Demonetized?
Long story short. They can't verify my bank account and stopped all the payments. Even that I presented 12 times all the documents to them. Also I showed them the transactions that I've got adsense payments before but they still keep asking for verification. I assume this is a AI behind it. Their phone support didn't do shit. I called them 10 times, their chat too. So it's stuck like that.
@@CGDealers Send their legal department an "Intent to Sue" for violating your Constitutional Rights to "Life, Liberty, Equality, Justice For All, and The Pursuit of Happiness", all of which have been violated for their failure. Following that, we can also consider looking into a Clads Action Law suit for all others who have been violated for the very same.
NGL, I'd fire any artist using this.
😂
with steam new policy with AI generated things i dont think so...
This is not the case for animations. You can generate animations from some AI video tool and put them in the game. Their policy is more of the asset creation aspect, 2D etc.
hold on, why his channel is demonetized ?
Check the other comments. I already answered there :)
This is cool but seems really limited. I'm interested in text prompts to animation. Like a character runs and stubs his toe or skins his knee and falls to the ground in pain holding on like Peter Griffin saying.....tsssss, ahhhhhh. That's the future of AI mocap, whenever that happens, if ever
It is still in early stage. It might happen.
Я чесн говоря непонимаю нахера это надо. Есть же блендшейпы и можно скачать всё с микзамо. Или я чёт неврубаю
Why have you been demonized?
I've pinned the answer to that question. check out the pinned comment.
This needs to be more than just walking to be anything useful
They are working on it. Also they are backed from Epic, so i assume a bright future is coming for them :)
Gee I sure hope so this is great technology. Hope they a realtime version so it is more like motion matching@@CGDealers
The only people ok with this are non-animators...
Cough cough you mean cheating and using some else work that’s what AI is.. complete stop
You used no others work when you were learning? That's the point of progress. Coming generations gain more based on the effort of the previous generations' work
