This short "How To" demonstrates taking a rough mocap capture for the upper body, using puppetry for the lower body walk and then transitioning into a MixMoves idle motion.

Cool tutorial, thanks Warlord

A really powerful tutorial - it is the essence and the most important basics of Iclone -With out background like this - it would be hard to produce a satisfying product/result - thank you for saving me hours of frustration - and you made it seem so simple - Thank-you.

Thanks for taking the time...

Thanks, Warlord! I think I can handle the Beginner's Level... That's where I'm at, anyway, after every new version of iClone...

Thanks Warlord. That looks really great! How does one remove the "Football Shoulder Pads" look that the mocap typically seems to create?

You can see them completely go away after he transitions from the walk to the mixmoves idle, but during the walk, is there away to remove them from the mocap data?

Always good stuff Thanks

I lower the shoulders via the motion layer editor using the mirror button in the first frame of the motion. Just move them enough to make them look good as that can translate to other motions added later and you may have to move them back up.

Thank you for the information! In theory, do you think a future version of the plugin can eliminate the shoulder hunching? And related, do you think a G3 or other character would not shoulder hunch?
