Apparently the software will support up to 6 motion controllers (PS Move and I think Wii controllers also) but I am unsure if that is for one actor or for their in-development 2 actor mocap. During the semester they added support for head tracking with an additional PS Move strapped to the head. I also used PS Move controllers for hands. I used this quite a bit to remove stuff from the animation. You can also save a BVH and process/refine through Motionbuilder/Maya as you posted on the class webpage using pre-capture animations. The iPi community tutorials are very useful also. (I think the DMX support was added to iPi after Jimmer did this tutorial). Jimmer Lins has a 7-part tutorial on YouTube which you already have linked on the class page, was very helpful. In addition I watched a ton of tutorials as I attempted to use PS3 Eyes before I went to Kinects. There will be some warnings about missing channels for face bones but you can safely ignore them. Now you can import your animation into Source Filmmaker. You may also want to uncheck "Export T-pose in first frame" option on the "Export" tab in iPi Mocap Studio. To export animation in DMX, you should just use "General." export menu item in iPi Mocap Studio and choose DMX from the list of supported formats. Skeleton should be enough for motion transfer.

Alternatively, you can just import an SMD file with your character into iPi Mocap Studio.

There is a checkbox named Ascii in the top area of the export dialog.

export animation for your model, in ASCII DMX format.

click "+" -> "Create Animation Set for New Model".

To create an animation DMX with default pose, you can add your character to your scene in Source Filmmaker and export DMX for corresponding animation node: Since it has a skeleton, it should be enough for motion transfer.

You can import an animation DMX (in default pose) into iPi Mocap Studio.

There are currently 3 ways of doing this:

Copied/pasted here:įirst, you need to import your character (or its skeleton) into iPi Mocap Studio, for motion transfer. On the page there is a section for Valve Source Filmmaker which is how to import DMX from iPi to SFM. This page has all the information needed to set up with 2 Kinects which is what I used. contains all the different configuration option links.
