Description from the author:
This short film was originally designed for the 11th edition of the Nikon Film Festival, under the theme "a game" !
We choise a low poly graphic style close to the beginning of 3D in arcades video games (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing etc ...) but in HD.
All of the animations are motion captured with ipi soft, and the 3D was worked on Blender, with Eevee !
This short film is the result of almost a decade of learning Blender and ipi soft software. We hope win the Pro version of ipi soft because we plan to make a feature film of this short film.

Allen Colombo with the short film One of Their Own (the Pro license) and Timur Khasanov with iPi Mocap - Music Video "Smoke" (the Basic license).
Our congratulations!

We are working on an animation clip called "Smoke". We got the idea that the main character could be made of smoke.
We used the trial version of iPi Mocap Recorder/Studio to record the movements of a professional dancer with two Xbox Kinect sensors and did the tracking, cleaning and retargeting all the movements to our 3D model.
We brought models and animations to Cinema 4D. With plugin Turbulence FD we created smoke particles from the actor's surface.

What you see here was made using two Kinect 2's. Ipisoft has become a primary part of my teams workflow when it comes to animations. A huge plus to ipisoft for us was the desired "man in suit effeft" for most of our monsters. It felt like a real tokusatsu actor. For the human scenes its an even greater help. With ipisoft we are able to knock out most character acting in a matter of minutes.There are some other ipi movements sprinkled throughout the episode not mentioned in the compilation but were either not the main focus or too subtle.
The Patreon video was filmed in one take with ipisoft.

Used mocap hardware:
2 Xbox One Kinect (v2) and 3 PS moves.
Engine used: Half-Life Alyx workshop tools Source 2 Source filmmaker
Map: I created my own

Video script:
In 2034, there was an unexpected development in the world atmosphere. Plant species began to die because the atmosphere could not filter the ultraviolet rays from the sun as before. The climate is disrupted. After the acid rains, drought started all over the world. People could not go outdoors and could not be interested in agriculture. Except some. They never lost hope!

I have already won this contest in 2019 with my first mocap-dance video ever, thanks this I have won the Pro licence for one year.
I was able to improve my skills on your software, I upgrade my setup and I have used 2 Kinect V2 this time. The result is INSANE !
Technically, I didn't have to rework a lot the motion, my kinects and iPi Recorder works really fine.

Happy New Year!
We decided to award a main prize and a special prize once again. And the winners are...
Leonardo Ramallo with the iPisoft Contest entry (the Pro license) and Loïc Caria with iPi Soft Spectators Animations... (the Basic license).
Our congratulations!
The main prize:
Description from the author:
The video is a work in progress animation for a video game that I'm currently developing.
I used a 6-ps3eye camera setup in my living room to record all of the animations. Every humanoid animation was created using Ipisoft.
The animations were cleaned in Mocap studio before importing into Blender which made cleanup very quick and easy. Unfortunately one of the characters' IK setup broke
at some point while rendering so he came out looking very weird and jittery, but the rest of the animations came out pretty great.
The second half of my video featured some clips that I recorded but didn't have time to include in the final render. I was surprised at how well the software could track wild and erratic
movements. The game I'm developing requires varied and expressive human motions which are best captured through mocap.
With enough space, lighting, and planning, Ipisoft tracking works extremely well. I'm very much looking forward to experimenting with ipisoft as I continue to develop this animation and video game.
The special prize:
