Project 3 | Motion Capture

Andrew and Abhay

We modified a mannequin model in blender to attach a Gundam helmet to the model:

Using a video clip of Andrew jumping up and down we tried out both Rokoko and Plaski.ai to capture the motion.

Rokoko captured the motion much more accurately than Plaski

Below is the original clip reference:

Here is the motion capture result from Plaski:

With Plaski we encountered some issues with rigging the model accurately. Using our own model the motions were inaccurately represented. As a test I tried it on one of Plaski’s demo models but it was still not reproducing the motion quite right, so we decided to try out Rokoko instead.

We also tried out some template animations in Mixamo applied to our custom mannequin.
