Stream Motion Capture Live to Cinema 4D with Rokoko! New Plugin Allows Live Performance Capturing of Body, Face and Hands

Rokoko has announced a new plugin that allows artists to livestream full performance capture including body, face and hands directly into Cinema 4D. The new workflow makes it incredibly easy to set up rigged characters - artists only need to add the new Rokoko Tags to a skeleton and geometry, then use the Rokoko Plugin Manager to connect to Rokoko Studio to record takes directly into Cinema 4D. The plugin also features the ability to trim your live recordings or use a keyframe reduction feature to smooth out captures.

The Rokoko plugin requires Cinema 4D R23. The plugin is available for macOS and Windows and can be downloaded from Rokoko’s website for free. The download includes a demo character, set up with over 50 blend shapes for facial capture as well as rigs for body and finger movements, so artists can get started right away.

Rokoko takes advantage of Cinema 4D R23’s new Character Definition Tag to retarget mocap on rigged characters. There’s a short video on the Rokoko website illustrating the workflow.
