Tracklab’s workflow shows how you can bring #motioncapture to life using the power of MANUS Metagloves. This end-to-end pipeline is a perfect example of how our gloves integrate seamlessly with industry-leading software to deliver high-quality digital characters. The process: 1️⃣ Movella Entertainment | Xsens MVN for full-body motion capture. 2️⃣ Faceware for precise facial tracking. 3️⃣ MANUS Metagloves for detailed hand and finger movements. 4️⃣ Unreal Engine #Metahuman to craft lifelike digital humans. This streamlined workflow can help you achieve unparalleled realism in your digital creations.
WORKFLOW: MVN + Faceware + Xsens MetaGloves to Unreal Engine Metahuman

Proud to have a cosign from the most "OP vtuber on the planet." Thanks Robin Schmidt! #Mocap #Vicon #PerformanceCapture #StretchSense
All-round creative with credits in music videos, commercials, animation, TV, scripted and unscripted drama. Born in action sports but obsessed with story. I eat process for breakfast. Cautious on AI, rooting for humans
PROXY GEOMETRY is so fun to add into mocap. The goal? Make the virtual tangible. Being able to connect with objects in 3D lends so much believability to the worlds we work in. But creating these contact points and making them work is often hilariously lo-fi. We use all this high tech equipment and then I'm holding an old curtain rail. But it works. Suspension of disbelief is everything. You can do this with #ai but you have to get your prompt just right and then hope it has some training somewhere to deal with that. I just look under the stairs for something to stand on or walk into. #TVmatics are often like theatrical make believe and it's what makes them so fun and playful. As always, the recipe is #vicon #faceware #stretchsense and a bunch of junk we found in a skip. Holla if you're interested in working with us. #realtime #unrealengine #animation #3D #mocap #performancecapture

It's been 20 years, but there's no reason to rush perfection. As fans of the original, the #PerfectDark reboot has our team buzzing! We can't wait to see how Crystal Dynamics / The Initiative harnesses the Mark IV headcam and the power of Faceware Portal. Until then, who else is dusting off their N64?

"If you're recording voice over anyway, you might as well record the face at the same time because that actor is going to give you the data that you're looking for" - Rick Castañeda Congrats to our friends at Vibrant Penguin on their bespoke #VoiceOver / #FacialMocap booth.

Faceware reposted this
Here's another one of my favorite demo's produced at Beyond Capture Studios, this one was done for Get Set Games, with an IP that's a bucket list item to work on! 🙏 This 1 minute single-shot performance by the amazing Steph (wish I had her contact info 🙏) was a mimed reproduction of a clip from the animated series to show that full performance capture is a great option for cinematics even for games that aren't using a realistic aesthetic. 🤙 Body motion shot with Vicon and processed in Autodesk MotionBuilder, with Faceware Analyzer for facial tracking, and Retargeter being used to process the facial performance in Maya. 🔥 Closer look video of the facial animation can be found in the comments. 😊 #Mocap #Faceware #Vicon #PCAP #Cartoons #3D #Animation #MotionBuilder #MotionCapture
