In this video I demonstrate the new Vicon Motion Capture system updates combined with the new Unreal Engine 5.4 Retargeting updates. The workflow to get Metahuman animation is getting EASIER and BETTER quality.- Vicon Shogun 1.12 has new updates making actor calibration much more visual and their Metahuman / UE5 Mannequin 1 click script works incredibly well.- Unreal Engine 5.4 has a new "Auto Retarget" feature that makes retargeting animation to any size Metahuman extremely easy.- UE 5.4 also has a new updated Sequencer UI which makes cleaning up and adjusting animations more straight forward.MOCAP System:10x Vicon Vero 2.2 CamerasShogun Live 1.7 and Shogun Post 1.7

In this video I record a simple animation using my Vicon system. The animation is then retargeted in Shogun and then again in Unreal Engine 5.4. I tried two different retargets and both required some basic editing using Sequencer and Control Rig.0:00 Intro0:45 Recording MOCAP1:53 Vicon Shogun2:58 UE 5.4 Retarget3:53 Sequencer MOCAP Editing5:17 Editing second retarget6:45 Final AnimationsVicon Motion Capture System:10x Vicon Vero 2.2 CamerasShogun Live 1.12

In this video I test out retargeting motion capture to a Metahuman only using Unreal Engine 5.4 IK Retargeter. This involves making an IK Rig for the Vicon Skeleton and then setting up the IK Retargeting asset.0:00 - Intro and MOCAP Shoot1:54 - UE IK Rig3:43 - IK Retargeter6:48 - Final AnimationsOfficial UE Docs on IK Rig Retargetinghttps://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/ik-rig-animation-retargeting-in-unreal-engine Pixel Prof YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@PixelProf My Vicon Motion Capture System:10x Vicon Vero 2.2 CamerasShogun Live 1.12My UE Marketplace Page:https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Cinematography+Database?count=20&amp ;amp;sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0

Quick workflow test of tracking drum sticks, snare drum, and Metahuman. Prop mapping is real quick and dirty. #shorts

Checking out the new Unreal Engine Motion Matching Sample Project aka the "Game Animation Sample." I was specifically interested in how Metahumans would look using this animation setup and I was not disappointed. Next I wanted to see if my custom Workbrand clothing would behave correctly.Get the Game Animation Sample - https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/game-animation-sample Check out my Metahuman Clothing assets:https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Cinematography+Database?count=20&amp ;amp;sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0
