HandCraft Pro, a new tool that allows users to capture real-time hand motion with a webcam and bake directly onto characters in Maya, has been released by animator Tal Minks.Using advanced machine learning algorithms through a Mediapipe integration, the tool tracks hand movement with accuracy, providing clean, ready-to-edit curves. Minks, who developed the system, says that HandCraft Pro is ideal for both keyframe animators who need to block in hand poses quickly, and for mocap productions with artists looking to refine hand motion during cleanup. Artists can edit poses in real-time during the capture process with hand motions.HandCraft Pro is available now to purchase for both freelancers and studios.Check out a tutorial:Source: HandCraft Pro Journalist, antique shop owner, aspiring gemologistL'Wrenbrings a diverse perspective to animation, where every frame reflects her varied passions.
