    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

    @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.

    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?

    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.

    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. )
