Why does no one talk about MoCap on this god forsaken board? Literally 99% of what you see now is motion captured and yet, on this board, nothing.

No one is using blender for mocap, MMD community is the only ones that allow you to mocap videos. Mocap webcam? thats lame, no one in MMD does that anymore.

what exactly is better about this paid software?
I get the performance bit but is that enough to justify the price tag?
Be more specific. Is the rigging better? You do know there's tons of blender plugins as well...

I remember listening to an interview with the solo dev of pumpkin jack, and he said that he started with kinect and it was kind of helpful at first but since you need to correct animations he found it better to make them by hand

because mocap looks like garbage and I want to become a non shit animator.

the overwhelming majority of what you see in animated media is mocapped and cleaned up

And maybe that's why I haven't seen good animations since the 70s.

The answer is no, everyone in MMD is using another way. Recording videos of character is 10x better than looking like a freak in webcam.

Webcam is the old way, video mocap is the future.

If you don't give a fuck about privacy use one of those video to mocap services. If you do worry about privacy and flopping your penis around and own a VR headset (specially HTC trackers and or visor)
Steam > Mocap Fusion VR

Any software that's exclusive to steam is always bad news. Also, owning VR defeats the Mocap technical levels of action, the thing is too slow to predict your actions.

It's a scam, program can not export anything.
I know what i said and i know the dumb softwares steam allows to scam people like you. Mocap fusion does even export to FBX or other files, you just playing dumb VR game on it.

this, we use mocap for almost all animations but I rather just take poses from it and animate everything myself.. the cleanup is hell

What do you do when you need animation on animals and monsters and stuff that you can't mocap
Anonymous at Sat, 8 Jul 2023 15:24:52 UTC No. 950817
>>950811
keyframe it, that's the only way. Some evil corp will try to make people wear costumes and try to act the monster but it will never act odd enough to make people care about it.

Yes but there are special rules on how stuff works and it's very very annoying. It might take you like 2 months to learn the basics, just the basics until you ready for other stuff that isn't common but needed.

Mo-cap looks bad. Characters always move in a weird uncanny way. I understand that it's an enormous time saver, but 3D movement is still better when animated by hand. It almost always looks better when cartoonist philosophies of stretch and squish are applied - even when it's a realistic character.

You can go to settings interactive mode and change it to maya keyboard mouse mode.
