Facial and Body capture using DeepMotion
Added 2021-08-06 00:12:34 +0000 UTCHi, awesome Patreon!
Recently, I was invited by DeepMotion to review their services for markerless facial and body motion capture. You have a freemium plan that grants you 1 minute per month and up to 3 characters. You can easily create your 3D FREE avatar using ReadyPlayerMe services and have your avatar appear in your DeepMotion account. From there, you can upload an mp4 video, and the motion will be transfered to your character as a .glb file (you can also download .fbx or .bhv formats).
You can then proceed to import the animation in Blender, where you can see your animation in the graph editor, NLA, and clean the motion capture with curve tools.
You can also bring multiple mocap (motion capture .glb files) into the same character.
I will be uploading a new expanded video on this last topic alone, since it seems a lot of people would like more details to combine and clean their animations.
If you have any questions about the current video, please let me know. I will be happy to help you use DeepMotion's files into Blender.
Cheers!
-Pierre.
