Boston Dynamics Spot simulation in Unity engine - Reinforcement Learning - stable platform Animation Prep Studios 2023-05-16 | I am new to AI. I recent spent a week leaning about how to apply neural nets for controlling of a robotics system. I was able to create and train a Boston Dynamics Spot bionic quadruped in Unity using reinforcement learning to self stabilize on a moving platform.The model is entirely physics based using joint systems in Unity engine. The custom IK model offsets are controller by the AI to produce a stable platform simulation with LSTM.See also (trot gait): youtu.be/KdwGJ9asR8Q---Read more about this project here: discord.com/channels/738881083256471703/770731544452530266/1107874006754926684

Walk anywhere on Earth using a VR Treadmill and Cesium Ion 🌍 Animation Prep Studios 2025-06-01 | Okay it's not a live stream yet! But I started developing a game and VR Treadmill because I want to learn geography by using Cesium Ion with Google 3D tiles to visit points on earth and walk around the environment like I am really there! I am also trying to start channel or a live stream around the idea and visit distant locations such as the Grand Canyon, Mt. Fuji, the Eifel tower, maybe even the moon, and talk about the different landscapes and learn about geography in the process!This is the first actual test of the working VR treadmill and game concept integration with Cesium Ion, a new custom full body IK solvers and the updated Ethernet enabled Arduino treadmill speed controller all running together! There were some bugs and the IK was not perfect but I'm hoping things will get better in time.This has been challenging to get working but am starting to see results! In the future I want to create tutorials and document the entire setup with parts lists and all Arduino code. But this video is only a quick demo of the concept, showing the body tracking synced with the treadmill encoder to match the real world speed. Also note that the velocity multiplier was set to 1:1 so the avatar walks as fast as IRL , but this value can be adjust to make the avatar appear to walk faster, so the gait may look better in future updates! I am just surprised things even worked!If you could find time to please leave a comment or click like or share buttons that would so appreciated!!I really hope you enjoyed the stream concept and please share your thoughts or any suggestions in the comments!!Check out this related tweetUsing a Arduino to control treadmill speed from Value Index controllers: https://x.com/MocapFusion/status/1912773671908741293
UPDATE full-body MotionCapture IK Solvers for VR tracking. Animation Prep Studios 2025-03-29 | A short benchmark tutorial showing improvements made to the Full body IK solvers. I also tried to render a short motion capture showcase for each solver update so the results are visible. However the animations are just simple exported raw motion capture from MocapFusion to Blender and immediately rendered , the quality might not be the greatest in some parts and no filters were applied, and it took only a couple of hours to create the showcases.This video covers five major updates including arm, leg and hip/spine solvers improvements, feet togetherness offsets, twerk and hip rotation, vis-bones, a new dynamicbone in-game adjustment and show the new avatar profiles.This video was a lot of work but was also lots of fun to create.

VTuber Live-Stream Mocap 🌴 👯♂️🌴🌴 Animation Prep Studios 2024-05-25 | Hi there!! I'm developing a feature to allow creators and live-streams to use custom avatars as overlays on the desktop but also with full VR motion capture tools so that creators can quickly create and add multiple avatars animations while on stream! This video shows the new "VTuber Desk" world. Also the ragdoll physics.What's new? Well a lot! The APS SDK even received updates and now includes a few example scenes in the new VTuberRoom folder. Live streamers and VTuber can create custom scenes with the screen alignment and avatar spawn points setup for transparent overlay mode so the avatar is always located at one corner of the desktop screen. A custom desk model can be used in pace of the desk model in this example. By using the APS SDK's includes example scenes creators can quickly adapted the "VTuber Desk" example scene to their own custom scenes.Here's the full tutorial: mocapfusion.com/vtuber-roomThe app is free on Steam for anyone wanting to try out the VTubing, just look for the Playtest beta (VTuber update v9.0.9) and please join the discord and let us know your feedback!!Please subscribe to get updates about this feature in the future.Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for checking out my video! ---Download the (free) Mocap Fusion [VR] "Playtest beta" on Steam : store.steampowered.com/app/1540000/Mocap_Fusion__VRDiscord - discord.com/invite/ErZcKaQTwitter - twitter.com/mocapfusionPatreon - patreon.com/prepstudioYoutube - youtube.com/c/AnimationPrepStudioswww.MocapFusion.com

AI Pose Animator - - full body VR motion capture IK puppet Animation Prep Studios 2023-10-07 | New Pose Animator tool, Uses can now record mocap then later make the avatar look at a target or the HMD, edit mocap using VR controllers, or link trackers to playback avatars for advanced puppeting, this can be used to create flying effects, crazy dance moves, jujitsu, zero gravity or swimming, or simply move the avatar around the scene, and allows exporting the edited mocap to blender.The feature is beta and still a work in progress, there are a lot of updates planned for this including AI, maybe. However the current feature allows for manual posing and making patch edits. The feature can be used in real-time, when the Record toggle is enabled the existing mocap frame is overwritten with the edits, so it should be possible to iterate and record any number of edits.Check out the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1540000/Mocap_Fusion__VR
Boston Dynamics Spot in Unity engine - Reinforcement Learning - trot gait simulation Animation Prep Studios 2023-05-16 | I am new to AI. I recently spent a week leaning about how to apply neural nets for controlling of a robotics system. I was able to create and train a Boston Dynamics Spot bionic quadruped in Unity using reinforcement learning for high speed gaits. After developing a custom IK model and gait planner I used machine learning to stabilize the platform :)See also (stable platform): youtu.be/jN9GUNnfERM---Read more about this project here: discord.com/channels/738881083256471703/770731544452530266/1107874006754926684
