Live Animation Creator [Beta]

Haha, that’s funny. Any chance you’ll use it for Kaoc? :wink:

from my testing it kinda works, but it seems to have issues with the limbs as it doesnt animate them so it only animates the head

I will agree, this is very great for people who can’t animate or don’t know how to. Mostly this will be used to recreate dances of course but who knows, maybe someone will find different way to use it.
Here what i tried to do with it:

Specialist (Persona 4):


Aerobic Video:

me:

i’ll mark some moments:

  1. It won’t work on R6, don’t ever bother. Only detects Head but you can always ask for animators to help right?
  2. Good quality for reference. Should be more that 480p.
  3. Decent lighting or bright clothes (or not so). Record everything when sun is shinning not in night (like i did).
  4. This ain’t an motion tracker, so it won’t perfectly recreate your video.
  5. Not working well for energetic dance, the character will be performing slowly or somehow messing up.

It’s still in beta, just now realised. Will expect improves and fixes.
So, goodluck in there.

I haven’t attempted to set up animations for humanoids since it was still just spinning the C0/C1s of a Motor6D. How can I go from no knowledge at all to using this to make memes to send to friends? I don’t currently have any intent to use it in an actual project anyhow (though this is subject to change if I’m impressed enough by the results)

What filetypes are supported?

At last an official animation body tracker, truly a historical moment for the platform :smile:

Record a video, put it on an R15 rig, export the animation to ROBLOX, and then convert it to R6 using this plugin:

Where is the video processed? Is it uploaded to Roblox’s servers or will it stay on the client’s PC?

Really cool feature. Hoping that in the future videos can be longer then 15 minutes. Would love to use this for concerts

In ROBLOX’s defense, I’ve used previous video-motion-capture websites and none of them have been as accurate as this one.

Oh my… This is VERY interesting!

You’re making me consider going back to the default Roblox animator with this one!!
Seriously though, This is a monumental change. This will SEVERELY help in the creation of animation!
Amazing work everyone at Roblox who helped make this feature!

This is actually a game changer for developers because we can’t all afford to buy these high end motion capture outfits and cameras. This allows us to do pretty much the same thing just using our phones. Great job team! :+1:

This is great animator ever seen, but think about changing developer on the platform, there result in to given in very moment can creator to be create animation on being using on new platform.

Like somehow they did about new features and animation on updates by dev’s team.

The YouTubers who did Fortnite dances videos can now do commissions.

Im guessing it because the camera moves around.

This tool is incredibly useful as it makes animations that would take hours now possible with a video or two.

I am also surprised at how smooth it is, as seen below:

I’m normally super bad when it comes to animations, so this is a big big game changer!

This feature is amazing! Especially for solo developers like me, I know some animation but they’re not 100% perfect. So I kinda stopped and moved on with coding instead which I am really good at.
I cant wait to see other developers creations with this feature!
