Motion Capture with Maya Tutorial

[DCStudiosofficial]

how do you add your tracking data to an object.also, how do you add the seperate data for tracking mouth movments(in motion builder)and add them together?

[TheZooomm]

Please! how do i render with "vRay" so you can put an 3d object and its shadow into to a footage?

[petenicezz]

[EvolveYourFuture]

world of warcraft was made by maya and 3ds max

[DonErikos]

@EvolveYourFuture

Word of warcraft : ...and not to forget "BodyPaint 3D" edited by Maxon Cinema4D !

[AiDz0r]

I recommended to use "Face-Ware" software from image-metrics. Which is highly advanced Facial expression capture. Which doesn't require any dots/spots on your face.

[aReFLIPPYHTF]

i want to learn to make an 3D animation :)

[etoangfavoriteko]

How about capturing the face?

[Bajungadustin]

that was a decent tutorial but you talk way too fast.. if i were to use this tutorial i would have to watch it like 50 times.

[IMPER1ALDRAGON]

I've considered making my own movie exactly like FF7 the movie. Anyone know what software and tools are the best to use? I've heard of blender but can it do it all?

[MrDavidFILM]

You are too fast with your tutorial...

[etoangfavoriteko]

@MrDavidFILM it's just you.

[MrDavidFILM]

@etoangfavoriteko Ok...Maybe it is...Still need more help

[reidvfx]

good stuff...although what's with 'dahta'? Aren't you English?

[thepryest]

@reidvfx He's Australian. Forgive him. 

[donnelly1994]

[Nekotico]

i think u shoul explain more detail, we r not all pro...:S, i need more details about how can i do some think similar to the traking box...please anyone can help me?

[SethGibbs]

If you are a student (have a .edu email adress), you can download all the academic versions of the Autodesk software both legally and for free. Just go to students.autodesk.com

[ravyne82]

@SethGibbs this is very true. I have 3ds Max for the next three years. Once I graduate, I will not get a new license though.... :(

[Gingioligold]

You kick ass!

[zhir96]

what?...my life sucks

[NVFcreation]

thanx a lot..

[mestreSeba]

awesome ;)

[HauntingBull]

FYI - You can it a PLE (Personal Learning Edition) of Max, Maya, Mudbox, and many other software free for 13 months. All you have to do is use your Campus email (the one ending in '.edu' when you register at Autodesk.com, this software has all the main functionality of the Pro versions but cannot be used for commercial apps. But this is still a good way to learn the programs. ;-)

[Aeon333Flux]

@FreakeSport

[a32Unitu]

Thank You!

[Jtrip2133]

This is extremely creative and exciting!

[lukavivid]

[goranification]

This video is lovely :)

[gettingsup]

Motion Capture Animation is not easy than facial Animation in Maya or 3ds max

[ianandhyde]

this video is stupid why do you go so fast that people cant even see what youre doing no help at all

[andrygarza]

do you know where can i take a workshop for motion capture?

[andrygarza]

do you know where can i take a workshop for motion capture?

[FoxBatinaHat]

Isn't Boujou insanely expensive also? Last I heard a license for that was in the 10ks. But between buying multile tracking cameras and an insanely expensive program license... it's safe to bet that there's no easy solution for independant workers.

[dshiznit1123]

grittles and tea

[3dside]

u speak too fast :(

[Jtrip2133]

Why buy any software? Durp!

[SidestepProduction]

@Jtrip2133 to support the developers who give us these fantastic programs

[KungenHAHAHA]

@Jtrip2133 So maybe thy can develeop the program in the future u dumbfuuck!

[Jtrip2133]

@KungenHAHAHA Why sssso serioussss?

[KungenHAHAHA]

@Jtrip2133 Dumb question = Dumb answer

[AlexsTechChannel]

AutoDesk offers this product FREE to students (that includes college). Check that out, I bet a lot of you didn't know this. Thumbs this up so more people will see it.

[djkeysmaster]

@AlexsTechChannel

Autodesk offers softwares like Maya, 3DS Max and so on for free if you're a student, AND if you study these things.

Same as I have access to free Microsoft Softwares, like Windows, Visual Studio Ultimate, MSDN libraries and so on, because I'm a student :P

[trombonista92]

dude, wye woudent youy just stick 4 qr codes on the sides of your head, there are programs allready desined to follow those and theyr direction, eaven their deformation,so you dont have to have a square box

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

Very good introduction to basic motion capture. Cheers!

[TiTANVERSE]

so boujou plus my handycam and ive got a mo cap system in maya!? much better than $50 grand for a cheap mo cap space suit! im so trying this!!!

[Kansyn]

some times your voice sounds like chris cocker hard to notice but it rembered i dont even know why.

[TheRensvind]

Informative, and fast. Thanks for Sharing.

[videosagb]

[darkspawn1270]

I didn't learn anything.

[djkeysmaster]

@darkspawn1270

[thebiglou13]

the head is scary O_o

[frankytap]

Wounderfull!

[EvilInYourCloset]

Kick ass!

While not being a real Tutorial, i DO think it contains a lot of valuable information.

Ive been dealing with 3D Tracking / Matchmoving for a while now, but still i got some nice little hints and ideas from this video!

Thanks for sharing!

[faizurr92]

Thank you

[KampfKiewi245]

looks not bad^^! Nice

[Allesfilmvideos]

Can you post a Tutorial how to track in Boujou and how to export the Data to Maya?

[coolbolas]

hi could you make a video that has better quailty and shows what your doing as its a good video but just cant see whats going on.

[UnamedKing]

O.O wow that was cool!!! And here I was wondering how the hell I'd get motion captures for my thesis! :D

[SmartguyMD]

Interesting, we need more detailed videos as a tutors! Thank You!

[W8aLfReDo8W]

so motion capturing can be done homemade ??

Id like to know more :(

did you use a normal videocamera??

sorry for the bad english :B

[periacuzao]

@W8aLfReDo8W yeees , look for ipi desktop

[silverblade604]

cool, but could this also be used for a complete model?

[NAPSTEP]

very nice tutorial!thasts what i needed!

[VarunMehtasWorld]

very fast...my brain walks nd follows...can't run to get everything like a tick.

[SunnyLEGO]

wow

[IcePhixia2000]

you saved me aklot of money not having to buy facial motion trackers now

[joe5178]

can't understand too fast

[ChimeraProd]

If only this could be recorded in realtime viewing the model while you move the markers, maybe too much lag?

[tejasrj]

great stuff thanks please suggest me some tutorials on mo-cap

[sclogse1]

First, where do I get a piece of paper to cut up into little squares? Then, there is the problem of pen acquisition, then of course, finally, my widdle head is neva gonna get dis. I'm going to the Bahamas and shoot sleeping tourists instead.

[DJDhananjayK]

lol nice idea

[EnterpriseKnight]

Facial animation that's what i needed.

Thanks

[punjedi]

I think my brain is leaking a little.....that was a powerful presentation. Great work, I have been wrestling with motion capture and camera tracking and this video helped me get a better concept.

[deoxy999]

You are funny!

[devilsonlychild]

BRAVO..........!

[hanumaanek]

hi ... nice video.. i would like to see it "step by step" if its possible .. or if you can recommend some tutorials for this

[goranification]

cool

[zenkaibutsu]

how would i track the point to on the video??? im currently doing a case study about the motion capture and an implementation in the future

[SlappieBob]

How do you make that video play in the background?:)

[differentguy94]

Aha, I understand it now .. thank you ..

[RkFxOfficial]

this is what i wanted to see! does it also work with other 3d tracking programs that are also compatible with maya?! cause i got maya with a 3d tracking program which comes with maya! yet, i worked with it only to get some 3d models into footage but does it work with it?

[cannoir]

you have tow possibilities either you export the geometry of your animation into your fav composition package or you use Boujou it works just fine with maya's files

[JSpraya]

dude , u know f-in Magic

[martijnenco]

wohw! can you make a full turt?

[TeeSav]

GOOOOOO RMIT

[ANYvideotutorial]

going to fast...

NICE TUTORIAL 5*

[RicochetSaw]

damn nice!

[Linkthe1st]

Not that i didn't think this was possible already but this vid really dose help me when it comes to theorizing how to film so i could drop effects into a shot.

Fantastic break down of how things here would be used and applied.

[paulosbruzzi]

They use this to make videogames, right?

[Videshi2001]

Anything involving 3d, really. You could use it for video games or effects in movies/TV etc.

Watch Appleseed for a very stunning example.

[kmish213]

Well anything that would require virtual movement

even scientific demonstrations use them.

[andygibson]

nice work...

[StriderH2]

Not so much the cost, it's how the product is used. People who have the funds to buy the product will most definitely have to study it beforehand.

[s3a3b3oor3ul3hassn3]

i u not buy

 free download

[StriderH2]

GREAT!! one step closer!

[vikastoxik]

nice

[ejay201]

the head is fuck

[jaygp777]

how much is maya and bonjou?

[slackdave]

I think they are around 7.000 dollars each.

But last time I checked seems like they lowered the price of Maya to 3.000.

Not sure, but It's more than what the average teenager can afford!!!

[NickRiviera10]

@slackdave I have MAYA, and a teen but I'm not rich, what I did was that I downloaded it from VUZE in several parts, it took several weeks, but I've got it, the problem is that is pretty hard to use and it takes time to do semthing, from creating to animation.

[redimi2s]

@slackdave Download it for no cost

[SethGibbs]

@slackdave An average teenager may be a student - in which case one could buy an educational version for about $400. It comes with Maya, 3DSM, Mudbox, Backburner, Toxic, and other software.

I bought mine at Studica.

[iceman27406]

@slackdave depends autodesk has an education site where you can download all their software for free you get a 1 year licence but it is only for education purposes only.they told us where to go in my 3d modeling class i will try to post the link

[maticoff]

@iceman27406 you can, studica

[metroidgoodsuit]

@slackdave duh, crack

[BDxCrazyazian]

@slackdave if you are still a student, there is the student edition which runs about 300-400 dollars i believe and its a full license for the program... i also believe it includes a couple of other programs as well

[grayfpx]

@slackdave there's piracy you know... not that i recommend it or anything

[VideoDocR]

@slackdave What is 7000 dollars each??

[dranoel1963]

@slackdave screw the paying just pirate the program...im not wasting money on anything till i acsualy get more money

[AlexsTechChannel]

@slackdave maya is free for teenagers.

[SethGibbs]

@slackdave If you have a school email, you can download a 13 mo. trial of all the educational software for free. Just go to student.autodesk.com. I wish they did this earlier - I bought the 2009 edu software pack for $400.

[zaazi123]

@SethGibbs i wanna do visual effects at uni next year, are you studying in this field?

[rab236]

@slackdav There is a website called academicsuperstore. They sell the Maya student package for around $350. If that's still too much, there are other ways of "acquiring" Maya.

[jdizzle2393]

@slackdave Torrents?

[ravyne82]

@slackdave There are different versions, and yeah, the professional versions are extremely expensive. Maya dropped in price when Autodesk bought them. Before that, it was a professional software mostly and therefore expensive. Buying an educational suite is cheapest. I think I bought mine for a few hundred. Also, if you are a student you can get the downloadable version from Autodesk. Some one else already posted a link to you tho, I think.

[Exotic47]

10 grand :p

[wally40g]

wo thit wis the coolast thing i seeing i hope one day i can do thit

[superchan51020]

[bean432]

[ilikesmarties]

dUDE, raD.

[Jagatia]

[dfhohj]

brilliant!!

[jamil1985]

You are amazing!! Kool!!!!

[ReeceMixV2]

so cool

[eXtremeDarian]

This is awesome! I often wondered how those facial tracking demo videos that I've seen worked, but I certainly had no idea it could be done with Maya Live. The box idea is great too. Thanks a lot man!

[MattDuVall]

great, im going to try this real soon

[psarlay]

i dont think i will figure how to do this successfully anytime soon, but it was great to know it is possible to do it, nice video

[DatoFarid]

hey can u tell me what r the minimum requirements for PC to do this (so that it render smoothely n easily etc etc)

[SearchlightPRESENTS]

any not smoothness will be affeted just time it takes

[DatoFarid]
