Easily Create Animations For Unreal Engine With This AI Motion Capture Tool

hello in this video we're going to go over how you can use video footage of yourself to record animations for the Unreal Engine mannequin to get started you're going to want to download this software called Rococo I'll leave a link to it in the description they have a desktop app make sure to download it once you've done that sign up for the account and then you want to go over to the try out AI moocap software page I'll leave a link to this page in the description as well just click this button you have to log in with your account then if I just go create new scene and I'm just going to call this dancing scene then it's going to ask me what footage I'd like to turn into some 3D software I'm going to select a local file on my computer so I downloaded this video of some guy moving I'm just going to upload it and then click this turn into animation and it'll turn this video into a 3D animation that I can use for my character once the video has finished processing open up the Rococo studio app and it should look something like this and you just want to find the scene that you created so I called my dancing scene if we double click and open it up then if I just double click on this new recording and click this play button it's going to transfer that um 3D video into a 3D animation that I can use on some characters so here it is and it's looking pretty good to export this and use this for Android engine just goes for export settings and make sure the file format is fbx then go over to um scanned and preset and make sure it is set to Unreal Engine then once we've done all of this if we just scroll down and click export clips and it'll begin to export our animation to work with Unreal Engine if I just click this open folder it will take me to where it's exported this video so here is new recording one underscore UE I'm just going to rename this to be dancing and then I will close record studio and open up on our engine okay so I've just opened up my Unreal Engine and I'm just going to import the animation that I made so I'm just going to drag it into this folder and when you import it make sure to select the SK mannequin scanning so this only works with the Unreal Engine 5 mannequin skeleton then click import and that will import our animation let's check it out so initially it's going to make our character look very freaky like something from a horror game in order to fix this if we just go over to the skeleton tree go over to settings and go show retarget options and then we just want to right click on this pelvis phone and select recusively set translation retargeting skeleton then we just want to select the skeleton and select animation scaled and that'll make the character look normal again and not freaky if I just save this close this and then I can import this somewhere into my level and click play and just like that using video footage we've recorded 3D animations for the Unreal Engine mannequin so I thought this was a very cool way of quickly recording and getting animations for the unorange American that's all for this video If you enjoyed like And subscribe and I'll see you guys next time bye
