I’m glad you are out here making videos for Cascadeur noobs like me
Finally I have been waiting for it for a long time.Thanks
Yess! thank you! I was playing around a bit with it and it seemed decent but someone actually covering it is nice
That is cool, Man! I have been using this software for a bit now and never knew that was even a thing. Thanks!
thanks you so much dude, starting a new program like this is so intimidating, but you made it so much easier
Ok. You are amazing. Thank you so much for this. Honestly, what an amazing video.
Wow, can´t wait to test this out. Thank you.
perfectly detailed :) Thank you a lot it inspires and helps!
love ur videos!! keep them coming
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUU! trying to animate characters in blender vs cascadeur is synonymous to trying to make clothing simulations in blender vs marvelous. GAME CHANGER
Brilliant tutorial and a great introduction for me to this tool. I will certainly give it a go, thanks!
absolutley amazing, thanks so much mate! :)
It's just an incredible tool, thanks for the video
Very cool! Thx for sharing!
wow this is actually soo helpful.. thanks bro✨✨
Thank you!
Love it !
Wow thank you subscribed forever
Bro you're the goat
Amazing, dude! Thank you. Cheers from Ukraine!
Excellent.
Thank you
Great video! I learn a lot! I wish you would do another more expansive video regarding all the polishing tools and how to "read" them within your workflow. I am not good at reading and utilizing trajectories, autophysics etc. Your suggestion for the fulcrum motion cleanup was very helpful. I am learning to pose my character, but I need to be able to cleanup and polish after I finished the poses. Maybe you will have some videos ideas for that. Keep up the good work!

How to export the animated character to blender or any other 3D Software?
@AronNemeth95
6 ай бұрын
You can export your animation as an fbx (or usd, or dae) and import that file to Blender. I would recommend to first have the character in your scene in Blender, then import the exported fbx to the same scene and use that action on the original armature. You can also try this addon: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZX5ptJOAXcqeeco.htmlsi=FrtDfr7TMqBkCdQY Unfortunately it doesn't work on MAC, but should work fine on windows and linux.

like all the other AI based mocap tools, they need to introduced multi angle camera shots support.
Do you know if there is auto physics for the fingers to clean up already posed animation? For example, fingers clipping through the body or clipping through other fingers. Are there rigid body collisions in Cascadeur for those mentioned situations? Does auto physics in general help with clipping issues for example arm twisted too far or arm or hand going through body or thigh?
@AronNemeth95

Unfortunately there is no self collision yet neither collision with other meshes. So that's something you have to do manually for now.
It work for sum reason
Hi, noob here, how did you added the background on the animation ? can you please make a tutorial on this one?

Make sure that the whole interval is selected on the timeline where you want the animation. And check that reference is shown correctly on that interval
do we have other apps like Cascadeur? I mean Video Mocap
can we transfer this animation to the unit? then does it work
can i export the animation with the free version to use in blender,daz..etc?
@AronNemeth95

Yes, but you have joint and frame limitations with the free version. You can only export 300 frames and 120 joints at once.
Try recording your videos in slow motion, gives you more frames to work with

Hello, Did you delete or move the folder where the image sequence was generated? If so you can try to restore it. Otherwise you will need to reimport the video
Why am I getting this error when I'm trying to enable autophysics. " interval length for selected center of mass is 3 frames ". Does anyone have solution for this

You have apply physics on selected interval enabled probably. Try to select the interval where you want to apply physics or turn off apply on interval.

What are your pc specs? I selected about 200 frames from a tiktok dance video just to test and it took me about 16minutes to render (I'm using a RTX3080ti with a intel i9 11th gen) i saw yours only took 3 minutes that's why i'm curious.
Nice. Thanks for this. i'm totally new to this software. please is the process online or offline?
@AronNemeth95

The mocap process is running offline on your PC. You just need to download the module for the mocap once when you want to use it for the first time.
Can you import two or more reference videos in the same scene? Lets say you had a front and a side view recorded. This would be awesome I think. The videos would of course have to be in sync before import, I guess.
@AronNemeth95
5 ай бұрын
Importing two videos is possible, you just need to set two different directory where the image sequence will be generated. But unfortunately when generating mocap only one reference can be used.

You need to select the interval on the timeline, where you want the mocap to be applied. So if your source video is 30 fps you need to select around 330 frames.

Consider using a voice (speech) to text converter, for the very reason that tutorials in Hindi are not clearly understood and are abhorrent. Even English speakers such as Scott Ritter uses it due to his inability to speak without the "UHM" syndrome. Many thanks for the tutorial which I will come back to, if I cannot find a better one.
But this is not free.. yes, doing all the stuff within the basic free licence works. But you cannot export it, you are not able to use it outside of cascadeur unless you get at least an 99 dollar indie licence. Unless somehow you can import .casc to blender, maya or unreal.

So I used the mocap for a 30 second dance I made. But the final product is the character doing most of the motions correctly. EXCEPT... My character is floating too high. So it looks like my character is on his tip toes the entire time. Is there a simple solution to fix that? I dont want to have to drag my character down and flatten the foot (shift+Z) for every single one of the hundreds of frames. So in short I guess I am asking whats the best way to fix that? (My work around, which I suppose isnt too bad I suppose. Is that I just Mocap individual key frames or key poses. Then just use Interpolate Bezier Clamp the gaps. Now its not terrible but just takes waaay longer than coming up with a solution that fixes hundreds of frames all at once. )
@AronNemeth95

If deactivating the toe controllers with Shift Z fixes your problem, you can do it on the whole interval. You need to select the interval on the timeline, activating the work on interval with the red button above the object properties and then pressing Shift Z
