Building a $20 Motion Capture Studio with a Kinect
Connect with me on Discord at discord.gg/sGjbTCb
As I practice character animation in Blender, my interest in motion capture technology grows. While options like the Rokoko Smartsuit exist for prosumers, I wanted to find an inexpensive, existing hardware solution- that's when I stumbled across the Kinect. In this video, I discover if just $20 for a failed Xbox 360 accessory, and some help from Brekel Body, Blender, and the Rokoko Studio plugin can create the ultimate low-cost motion capture studio.

THIS is why your livestreams are pixelated... OBS Tutorial
Переглядів 152 тис.2 роки тому
Connect with me on Discord at discord.gg/sGjbTCb For many streamers, it can be infuriating to deal with "pixelated" or "blurry" streams. The issue may only pop up whilst moving, or it could be a consistent issue you deal with. It can be especially frustrating when everything seems fine in your OBS preview window, but in the VOD, the stream is grainy and unwatchable. Today, I'll be going over a ...

    Hahaha... This went down about like everything I do in Blender. You might have better luck with a Kinect 2 (XB1 version). I've bought a few at Goodwill for under $10. I had to snip a little wire to the fan, so it runs all the time, but this fixes a looping autodetect error. The SDK is also awful. Make sure you use a supported USB 3 hub with no other devices attached to it (nothing plugged into the ports next to it. Also, you may enjoy using it with TouchDesigner. You can use it to play MIDI music by waving your arms around and other cool stuff.

    I'm trying to learn if this will work for a stream setup. Has anyone figured out how to combine 360 with VMC while also having the true game of the Xbox working? Like splitting the feed somehow of the sensor data and using it specifically for live mocap? Maybe average webcam data with the Kinect data due to the limitations of the frame rate?

    Using 2 Kinect is said to greatly increase accuracy, but 5:32 a much larger room will be required as Kinect has a very narrow field of view.

    I would like to add that if you have a slow internet or something, instead of just dropping the bitrate, it can also be useful to drop the framerate (ideally not below 30) or the resolution. As then each pixel gets more of that total bitrate dedicated towards it. A 720p 30fps stream at 3000kbps will always look better than a 1080p 60 fps stream at the same 3000, or even slightly higher like 4000 kbps. Because such a low bitrate will never allow 1080p to be as sharp or 60fps to be as smooth as it can be in more demanding scenes, so in some situations it can look even worse.
