Motion Capture Week 5
It still has a lot of room for improvement but for now I think it should work. After I got the airsoft helmet on amazon, I printed out the attachments for the arc rails which slid in pretty nicely the first try.
I then made the arms which can be adjusted with knobs that tighten since I added screws and nuts into them.
The phone holder was a little tricky to get perfect but it workx pretty well, it uses hair bands to hold the two parts together.
After trying it on, the whole setup was pretty heavy due to the torque of the phone being so far from the face. I figured a second strap setup would work to hold the back down and wrap around the chin.
I printed more rails that use the lower arc rails and stole a backpack clip from the backpack that IDK gave me to make it adjustable.
This sorta works but it isn't quite as comfortable as I imaged. Maybe I can make some sort of chin strap in the future.
I watched a little bit of the Epic games video on youtube to see how to setup the iphone
with UE4. I sent in a developer request for the AR kit software but haven't heard back yet.
I also heard that it helps to have nice lighting so I also bought an LED strip and some electric tape to add that on.
I'm hopeing I'll be able to get this all setup and get a nice facial motion capture setup going with a custom 3D head for later in the semester.
For the Radical software test, I found a video of Terry Crews doing the robot. He does it pretty well.
But the auto smoothing completely ruined the robot feel which is kinda hilarious. I guess that's one thing Radical can't do!
