In this livestream, Rokoko Sam is walkin' us through the (not so) painful process of character retargeting! Also known as, "how do I get my dang 3D character onto my gosh-darn mocap data!" We're covering Unreal Engine, Blender, Cinema 4D (an maybe Maya if there's time), so hopefully nobodies left out! Lets gooooooo!

Ima start this project with 3 days left or something
You too😅

average 3d project
I just finished retargeting, and man i feel like iv learned so much in this one video than in the last few months. thank you and great job!
Excellent, Excellent vid! Man, its amazing that just a few years ago, this kind of animation control was so much more convoluted and complex to do, to the point that layman artists would rather just stick with default animations and not even attempt anything more complex.. Now this is so easy, and especially thanks to vids like this and awesome folks like you and Sam to share this how-to info almost making it intuitive rather than difficult. Thank you!!!
Yahooz! Thanks so having me Clint - was a blast!!
Hi thank you so much for maya tutorial, i found a way in maya which your costume rig will match exactly with base mocap, after retargeting. Its my honor if you check it out here,
ruclips.net/video/08ftsvRlykQ/видео.htmlsi=bu3ZZ_OnRRxy80J1
I really appreciated this livestream. Thank you for going over this process with Sam. It's great to see it being done live by professionals
Hi! Thanks a lot for this session. I was able to do the retargeting in Maya, I felt so great to be able to do it!
this is exactly what I needed as a 3d noob! thanks so much!
Great content!!!!!
this video is great, only one thing is not clear to me, that is, when it edits the FK on Unreal.I did (on metahuman) "additive" but when I move does not do me anything and remains as before, that is clipping.Any suggestions?
bro i woke up at 3 in the morning with this playing on my tv
Thanks for helping us out with this. The workspace is blurry and hard to read, even though your faces are crystal clear. Makes it a little hard for a beginner who doesn't know where everything is automatically.
Good to know! I'll definitely see if this is something we can upgrade next time.
@@pwnisher You guys really go the extra mile to help everyone. Can't thank you enough.
thank you sooo much🥲
I'm following along step by step in Blender but when I build the bone list, it always shows up empty. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Thanks!
Hey guys, at 46:16, when he's editing the animation in Nonlinear Animation, how is he adding a keyframe after changing the pose? I seem to be missing a step here and can't figure it out... 🤔
If I had to guess he has assigned a shortcut, so the menu doesn't have to pop up everytime the 'i' key is pressed.
Sam did mentioned he's using an industry-standard keyboard layout so maybe that could be it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another approach is auto-keying (wasn't enabled during the stream) enabling this then makes it easy to NOT focus on inserting keys manually.
A couple of downsides to auto-keying are 1) it adds a key on all transforms (L/R/S) leading to two main issues:
Unnecessary extra key clutter, and it affects the interpolation of the keys. 2) It's easy to lose track and forget that auto-keying is active.
I would say use auto keying one way on the timeline (e.g., for rough character animation) followed by a cleanup,
(delete and adjust key interpolation) of unnecessary keys, after that disable auto-keying and from there manually edit/add keys.
Hope that helps :)
About the Rest pose, Its just to clear the rotation, press Alt R and Press Alt G.
How i replace the character in blender ? Does it need Rokoko plugin?
The rokoko plugin won't install for me.. keeps giving me some error about line 212 and can't import updater_ops 😮💨
Can you check the link for the animation layers addon? I just spend 20 bucks for a tutorial..
Hello!... I can't access/follow the Discord Invitation. I participated last year, but the #createwithclint server is not available/accesible to me. Weird, I don't recall stop following him. Any idea how to fix it and gain access?
so for us poors who still use R19 - is there an alternative to a character definition tag in C4D?
For a character can we download it from a online or we have to model it from the start plzz tell I am stuck cause i dont have my own characer now
you don't need a custom character,don't worry
Idk if anyones brought this up yet with unreal, but that it stops at like 118 frames and wont let you extend to 120?
idk if its an issue with any body else
I tried retargeting in blender and everything works correctly except the arms are crossed over even though they are mapped correctly. Anyone know how to fix this issue?
did you ever end up finding a solution to this? I'm having the same problems
Seems the link to the Blender animation layers add-on might be linking to the wrong add-on
I know this is quite late 😂 but I’m doing this now cus I have the time, please any Advil on how to replace the stairs with some megascan assets in blender
Any ideas why the re-targeted armature would be slowly drifting away from the default armature?
I have the same issue. I don't know how to fix it ...
My mesh is slightly deformed after retargeting, anyone has this issue?? I'm going crazy trying to fic this, there's just a few hours left. Please help
i love waking up to this playing what is the point of this video retargeting is so easy why did it take 3 hours
can we just make own character and animate it manually on our own ??
To match the pivot point on your new character, drag it under the Mannequinn character and zero out it's transformations and rotations. Then drag it out of that parenting into the world again, good to go!
And to retarget metahumans?
Same steps as are shown
@@jamiebrowning7879 thankss
Where is houdini?
So no 3ds max then?
Hi , i created a tutorial in maya , you can retarget in maya and export alembic mesh to 3dsmax , ruclips.net/video/08ftsvRlykQ/видео.htmlsi=bu3ZZ_OnRRxy80J1
Was wondering the same thing.
If you want my advice -
Just Animate the character 1 frame backwards (to 0 or -1) and Do "animation / assume skin pose". This will give you the actual animated bones in a T pose frame.
Then put your character on that T pose and add skin.
Worked for me.
