I’m looking to make some educational materials and want to do mocap animation for them.
It doesn’t need to look amazing, just good enough to get the messages across.
I am completely new to visual software, animation, 3D animation, though I’m fairly comfortable with tech and have been making music on computers for over a decade (I assume it is very different but I’m just providing background info).
What is the easiest and cheapest way to achieve a halfway decent result with tailor made characters?
From my digging so far it seems that Unreal 5, an iPhone X and a helmet mount is the best option: iPhone models: Compatibility with Live Link Face and ARKit - #6 by christuusgnosis
Do you need anything else? Does anyone have any good links to step by step guides?
Is there any other hardware or software that you’d recommend as a better alternative?
Sorry for all the questions. I’m on a very limited budget and want to make sure I get it all right.
