In toto: According to the announcement on the company website, Rokoko Video is comparatively easy to use. The first step is for users to upload a video using a webcam, smartphone or comparable moving image recording device. It should be noted that the entire body should be recorded, which users can then edit using motion capturing. The motion data is generated automatically by the software. If required, the same data can be edited using Rokoko Studio (also from Rokoko)(Manuel Skroblin reported in detail for Digital Production on 1 March 2019 about how character animation can look with Rokoko Studio and associated hardware and software solutions). Finally, users import the finished motion capturing into common DCC software such as Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D or Unreal Engine. According to the company, a free version of Rokoko Studio is also available.
