Hello Unreal community
I am Manuel from the MR3D-Dev youtube channel. I am about to embark on a big project and I need some knowledge.
I am developing a short where I will have a group of actors doing mocap on a scene. My question is:
Do I need any special tools or plugins to have them all doing mocap on the same scene at the same time?
Any videos or documentation on something like this?
We will all be using Xsense Awinda sets if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
Hey,
If you have a multi actor mocap shoot then it’s best to record to the body pack with xsense link.
We have found the awinda to be the most flaky in actual production (on a hot set) so it’s left behind in the studio.
It boils down to who’s waiting on you on set to get your stuff right. If it’s a collaboration with colleagues then you might have some leniency with stuff going wrong. If it’s a typical shoot with directors and producers waiting on you it’s best to record on the body pack and not hold the production up.
Carry ‘lots’ of spare strings and batteries.
Cheers,
