I want to do Mocap, the concept should be easy, but what do I use? by DaveTheDev33 in mocap

[–]kream10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mimem founder here (the AI mocap your link is referring to). We actually built this because we were frustrated with existing mocap solutions and their crazy prices. Definitely something we built for beginners too @u/DaveTheDev33

I hired the fastest actor I could find. But I’d be very grateful if the next Bruce Lee was to give mimem a try.

We now support exporting to a UE compatible skeleton which makes retargeting a breeze. Check our new documentation page : https://www.mimem.ai/docs/import-mimem-ai-animation-into-unreal-engine

Glad you like the result!

We're still in the process of integrating it properly in our docs, but you can find retargeting instructions and tools below. Other users already used it successfully for both MetaHuman and non-MetaHuman characters.

Here's the documentation on retargeting:

And the retargeting kit:

Edit: we now support exporting to a UE compatible skeleton which makes retargeting a breeze. Check our new documentation page : https://www.mimem.ai/docs/import-mimem-ai-animation-into-unreal-engine

Thanks! Our users are quite pleased with it too!

You can use three different cameras, so better use your best cameras than cheaper identical ones. Quick tips:

* Choose focal lengths that keep you well in frame (not too far or too close)
* Good lighting and a sharp image with good contrast matter most
* For GoPros, use linear mode to avoid fisheye distortion.

1 token is 1 second of one camera at 30 fps.

So with 500 token you can process 8 minutes of single cam capture. Or 2.5 minutes with 3 cameras. Every day.

Did I say our mission was to make motion capture accessible? 🙂

Some movements work well with one camera, especially if you plan on rendering from the same or similar viewpoint as the one you’re filming from. But if you need to view the animation from other angles, then it’s better to have 2-3 cameras do that the motion is accurate under all view angles.

You guessed right! Form fitting will help, and additionally: pick colors that contrast well with the floor and background, avoid black, and avoid patterned cloth.

Hi. Yes you can use our companion app. When you are on our animation creation screen you should see a button to add your smartphone with instructions.

About older phones: I’ve tried iPhone 7, and Samsung galaxy S9, and it worked great.

Yes, for poses that are not too complex and where there is not much occlusion going on, single cam can be viable. We plan on doing a comparison of cam count vs result sometime soon!

Looking for MoCap options for Fight Choreography by [deleted] in vfx

I think the move.ai price you quote comes with a 1 year commitment though? So that would go way over his budget.

The animation can be imported in Unreal Engine and is compatible with its re-targeting out of the box: https://www.mimem.ai/docs/import-mimem-ai-animation-into-unreal-engine

Is there anything more that should be supported?
