In nuce: Denys Hsu, known under his pseudonym cgtinker, releases his free Blender add-on called BlenderArMocap, which makes it easy to realise motion capturing – without any annoying markers.
What you need: All you need is a working webcam, and Blender on your hard drive – and of course a healthy pair of hands and feet, along with a head between your shoulders. After all, the tracking software needs some kind of orientation points. By the way: The data recorded by the add-on can be transferred to Blenders Rifigy rigs if required.
Extended access rights: According to Denys, you must start Blender with extended access rights if you want to install his add-on. Denys says: “The tools I provide are free to use, but online use remains paid. I enjoy creating tools for you, but it is time consuming.”
Click further: On GitHub you can get all further information about this interesting add-on, on Gumroad you can download the BlenderArMocap for free. Denys explains how the add-on works in the video below. If you want to delve deeper into the creative workshop of 27-year-old freelance technical artist Denys Hsu, visit his website.
