In this video we will create Motion animations with the help of Motorica AI. This is very powerful tool if you want to create motions for cinematics, cut scenes or even motion matching with your in-game character.

It was fine until some backend AI wanted me to verify my bank account. They asked for documents. I send them 10 times documents, even documents where I get paid by KZread. And the AI behind it always asks "Documents were rejected upload again". I contacted support - they said documents are fine, upload them again... Again reject, again support ticket and it's the same loop for a month. After that I contacted a person I know working in google. He filed an internal case to check the situation. They said "upload your documents, your documents are fine, they should pass." They did not pass anything -> "Rejected -> Upload Documents Again" It was one month + communication with support and they assure me the documents are fine, however they got rejected each time. So I gave up and make a patreon. Which is WAY BETTER!

While this is indeed bloody awesome, it's worth pointing out that you can not use this tool to produce commercial applications, i.e. movies and games that you intend to sell. At least not at this point in time where Motorica has no paid subscription, which according to its TOS is required for a license that allows commercial usage. The free license gives you assets licensed under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license.

sounds great, yeah I think I saw a similar video, but I think there are still some bugs in regards to setting up the motion matching itself in Unreal 5. could there be a way to use these kinds of animations in root motion based locomotion, while imitating motion matching? @@CGDealers
I was wondering after watching, what makes you define AI in this method because I think, this method is just to be used with previous motions

After retargeting pose, in the retargeting menu, the option of "Show retarget Pose" wont show in my UE like it shows on 08:36. There are just 2 options "editing retarget pose" and "running retarget". Does anyone know why? Im using UE 5.4.1
Can you export these animations?. I use iclone, its great for looping and tweeking. I'll have to look this up. I remember watching a tut years ago. Is it an option in the sequencer?

Long story short. They can't verify my bank account and stopped all the payments. Even that I presented 12 times all the documents to them. Also I showed them the transactions that I've got adsense payments before but they still keep asking for verification. I assume this is a AI behind it. Their phone support didn't do shit. I called them 10 times, their chat too. So it's stuck like that.
