A short tutorial explaining how to use the AvatarBuilder to add custom characters or avatars for recording.

Download the AvatarBuilder: github.com/guiglass/CustomAvatarBuilder

Animation Prep Studio is the first VR tool I have ever released.
It's a SteamVR™ full-body motion capture (and storyboarding) suite.

This video shows how to create a short compilation using a human avatar, prop and a camera. Then import that compilation directly into Blender™ and render with Cycles or EEVEE engine, all in less than 6 minutes!

I developed this set of applications for my own education (and workflow). But I decided to make them free for anyone to use.

Add your own content from .blend models (Optional):
Avatars: github.com/guiglass/CustomAvatarBuilder
Props: github.com/guiglass/CustomPropBuilder
Scenes: github.com/guiglass/CustomSceneBuilder
