Not sure if you've ever done Motion Capture cleanup, but it's a nightmare.

Not of raw mocap data, but I have had to clean up purchased mocap files for iClone. Just because it is for sale, does not mean it's "perfect" either. Also, some of the for-sale stuff already looks pretty bad in the promo video of the respective creator so that I don't even consider a purchase.

I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that you had proper mocap equipment and people (male and female) familiar with acting for mocap at you disposal when I suggested that you create your own mocap. If AI-assisted mocap based on video footage is all you have, then I withdraw that suggestion.

No, unfortunately, everyone I work with is out-of-pocket work for hire right now. I'm a one-man production studio. I'm doing it all at the moment. I'd love to hire staff eventually. But for now I gotta bite the bullet. This is why having these motions available is important.

Well, I'm a one-man hobbyist. ;-)

So far, I'm not capable of producing content (animations, not 3D assets) that I'd feel comfortable charging money for. In fact, that is one of the reasons I'm not even trying to get my YouTube channel monetized.

It gets really expensive. I direct this at Reallusion because they have the tools and people power to produce these motions. I contacted the people who make mocap for Unreal and to be honest I don't think they even know about Reallusion or Omniverse. Let's see what they decide to do. 
The bottom line is when I have motion capture footage that is too tedious to clean up I'd like to have the option to just pay for a replacement. Specifically from Reallusion. Going from iClone to Omniverse is seamless.


Even with todays capture systems there are always going to be a need for mocap clean up particularly with weapons handling.
the only software that will get you close to capturing  perfectly clean human motion 
( with expensive capture suits )is the mighty Autodesk Motion builder which prohibitively expensive of course.
I have the entire Mixamo libraries collected in an offline archive in both FBX and Imotion format.
(over 2,400 animations)
they have quite alot of paramilitary combat style motions with people carrying rifles similar to what is in your video and many of them are marked “Female”

I used them extensively in my last  50 minute Iclone  movie last summer


And  also in this project, from three years ago, animated in Iclone but rendered in blender.

You can kitbash alot of military style weapon handling action with the FREE mixamo libraries
with minimal need for major clean up except for adjusting hands & fingers to whatever weapon props you have.

This is EXACTLY who I am, and where I stand currently. That's why I don't have anything up on my channel as well. I've been doing side projects (short film, amateur leveled stuff) for some of the amateur film groups that I connected with in Facebook for a little while now, but of course, that's strictly scripting (NDA based), and using this as only a storyboarding platform.

I've wanted to do some stuff on my own to promote me, but I just never really have the time to do my own stuff. Such is REAL life...sigh! 😒

TBH... A great deal of my animations are from using Mixamo and Mocaponline animations, as I find them to have more of what I'm looking for, and yes, even female based animations separately. In addition, being FREE (Mixamo) makes it so much better too, where you are getting quality motions, with very little editing, to work with, making for a higher production value and better time usage much more prevalent. 

I'll use Reallusion's animations for like maybe a simple motion base, for walking or something, or maybe throw in a motion to connect to something else similar from the other two, that would give it a more diverse look, then blend them together so it can have a very unique look/style, also depending on what I'm doing, be it realism or toon/stylized. Crazy thing is....I own pretty much EVERY motion pack that comes out from Reallusion just to have in Library.

I produced some IP content back in the day and it didn't get any attention and I hand-animated the entire project. I even got a cease and desist from Upper Deck over my model of Michael Jordan. So from that point on it's all about my IP. Screw fan art. No offense just my personal opinion.
