What systems allow live mocap streaming through camera/webcam or something into UE? Especially for free

What systems allow live mocap streaming through camera/webcam or something into UE? Especially for free

I'm working on some prototypes for something, and a large factor that I would like to implement is using live motion capture to control a metahuman in UE. I know rokoko suits and some of their software can do it, and I've worked with them in college VP classes before, but I'm working on my own now with a non-existent budget so I'm looking for alternatives if they exist.

I know there are some programs that allow the capture of motion capture through video, and I am looking into those as well as a building block if anyone has recommendations, but I am specifically looking for programs that can do the streaming live through a camera/webcam or something like that/whatever will work into UE.

So if anyone knows of any programs that can do that for free, or as cheaply as possible I would love to hear about them. Thanks!

That worked, thanks!


Metahuman Presets not showing up in new 5.7 project. HELP PLEASE

Metahuman Presets not showing up in new 5.7 project. HELP PLEASE

I just upgraded my UE version from 5.6 to 5.7 and started a new project. In this new project, after I enabled all the Metahuman plugins, I was trying to work on a Metahuman but none of the presets popped up or are available. At the bottom of the screen it say "Metahuman Creator Core Data is missing", but I'm unsure what it's talking about or what else I need to add to get this working.

I even tried just downloading some of the presets from Quixel Bridge, but some weird errors popped up. When I finally got it downloaded it showed up in my contents folder, but not in the actual metahuman creator.

How do I fix this? What do I need to do or add to get these presets and get everything working so I can continue with my project?


That's what I was thinking, it's just figuring out what specific poses from the show would look best for each of the versions of Beck. The "disk" pose works for all of them, but the more dynamic ones look better for him as the Renegade, leaving me with less posses for regular Beck than the other ones


Can't, it's a very high poly sculpt so rigging won't work on it in Blender. There are other ways to pose it though, which is why I was asking for suggestions for poses.


Thanks! I've been working on this for around a year now! Would you believe it's my first time modeling a character?
