    I've checked the updated files. Your downloaded files now look like this: "Dollars", "Dollars_Metahuman", "Dollars_MONO" The only change is the removal of the "DollarsMarkerlessUE" folder, and now this file downloads directly as "Dollars" In the video, I showed how to copy the "Dollars" folder from inside the "DollarsMarkerlessUE" folder into the "Content" folder. But now, things are simpler. The file directly downloads as "Dollars", so all you need to do is copy the "Dollars" and "Dollars_Metahuman" folders into the "Content" folder. Hope this helps!

    Thank you for this insight! It would be also interesting to see how to integrate a custom made character (for exmaple in Character Creator 4) into this MoCap system. Character Creator 4 offers an Auto Setup for UE which already includes the rig for body and face. I wonder if Dollars MONO MoCap system is able to work with this.

    I was thinking about this idea while working on the video!😀 Tried changing a few files, thinking it should work but didn't get the result I wanted. Setting up body mocap is easy but when it comes to face mocap it takes a bit more time and seems a bit complicated. Perhaps dollars mocap might figure it out soon.

    My guess is that she uses real people in her pics and puts her own face on them with photoshop. If I were a virtual influencer, I'd do the same thing. Creating everything in 3D and making it look photorealistic? Tough job. And check out her vids closely, those backgrounds aren't real spots, but 3D animations. She might be using Unreal Engine.

    The mouth line is automatically adjusted by software, no tweaking allowed. In the new version, 'facial capture sensitivity' has been added, which improves the effectiveness of facial capture compared to the previous version.

    MOVE AI has a camera-based motion capture app going for $500/month and that's for the standard dual-camera package. The problem is it's pricey and you'll also need cameras or iPhones, starting with 5 cameras would be a good start. People seem to like it but I haven't tried it yet. I'm curious to know if it's as precise as the traditional mocap suits
