Weekly Overview
This week, we focused on preparing for next week’s shoot and advancing our post-production work. We completed the motion capture setup, making necessary adjustments to the character and refining both the MetaHuman model and its clothing. Additionally, we implemented an AI-based motion capture system and conducted a short test to ensure everything functions smoothly. In post-production, we made significant progress by finishing the first round of color correction and initial edits for the ICVFX footage. With these steps complete, we’re well-prepared for the upcoming shoot.
Meta Human
About meta human: dress asset finished, including mesh, texture and rigging
- About texture: dress display problem on transparency solved: png > exr
- About rigging: upper part of the dress weighting was directly transferred from meta human rigging and skinning data, thus synced with the meta human movement; lower part of the dress was attached to the meta human waist(weight transfer only provides proper display on pants, not on dresses/one piece garment)
- Next step on clothes: test clothes performance on mocap for advancing optimizing solution
MOCAP
Following our conversation with SME Shannon last week on using AI for motion capture, we decided to try it ourselves. We set up Remocapp, an AI-based real-time motion capture plugin that uses camera input. The software provided an acceptable level of accuracy and stability for our motion capture needs, producing promising initial results:
