AnimationPrepStudio is a 100% free SteamVR™ based full-body motion capture tool with lots of automation to allow animators to more quickly captured content and get it into Blender to begin rendering.
In this video I show how to create a short motion capture scene using a Reallusion character, and how to easily export all of the captured content into Blender Cycles (or EEVEE) engine for rendering.
From creating a character, to rendering in Cycles, all in only a couple of minutes!
Add your own custom props, scenes or Reallusion/Makehuman/Mixamo/Daz3d avatars:

![SteamVR Motion Capture - Augmented Reality in Blender
A app I just developed for anyone to create augmented reality videos with custom avatars and exported to Blender for instant rendering.
Requires only an IPhone and SteamVR tracking.
VR Hardware:
- Vive pro HMD.
- Two Index controllers.
- Four Vive trackers (full body tracking + one AR Camera tracker).
Software used:
- Mocap Fusion [VR] (MCF v5.2.5)
- Sidekick AR App
- Blender EEVEE (v2.92)
Mocap Fusion [VR] is available on Steam Playtest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1540000/Mocap_Fusion VR
The Sidekick [AR] app is available on Apple TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/JPqXvlOQ

![VTOL Sim and SteamVR Mocap for Blender
The APS_SDK_Helicopter example project can be downloaded from here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/le193dy2ancc14x/MocapHelicopters.unitypackage
This tutorial shows a new SandboxEmpty component.
The SandboxEmpty component found in the APS_SDK can be attached to gameobjects when building custom props. This adds additional motion capture to the prop export data when exported from Luxor and allows recording moving parts on the prop (eg. sliding doors, ammo clips, landing gear, rotating wheels and suspension) and exporting the added mocap data to Blender as animated empties which are aligned with the original mocap prop so the animated empties can then be used to animated a more detail model for final rendering and is shown in the tutorial :)
The EEVEE animation and mocap were created before I this tutorial so I didnt have a chance to show the flight simulator controls or recording full body mocap. Hoping to make more tutorials soon!
New updates in Luxor v5.7.4:
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxEmpty.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxAnimatorSetBool.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxRecordable.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxRecordableButton.cs**
- Added new Blackhawk vehicle prop (with sandbox examples)
- Improved VTOL simulation, full physics based, added ground effect, high precision wheel colliders,
Hope you liked the tutorials !
