Hi all, I recently upgraded my Unreal Engine 4 plugin called Rigel, an "All in One" Full Body Motion Capture solution. Rigel use Vive Trackers for body tracking ( up to 10 trackers ), Valve Knuckles or Notiom Hi5 for fingers tracking, and the iPhone for facial tracking. With 2.0 we added native support for Autodesk Maya humanIK, Mixamo, Blender Auto-Rig Pro plugin and Daz3D rigged characters!

Out of curiosity, and completely against HTC guidelines of trackers usage, I decided to do a bit of a stress test on them, in order to see how bad the tracking gets under strong lights, specifically in daylight but also using a weldking torch in close proximity...results were completely unexpected. Vive Trackers Stress Test

Rigel has been update to V1.6, adding the following features and fixes: - Arms Delta added: UI > Advanced Settings > Arms Delta sliders for Up/Down/X allows you to dynamically extend/shorten the arms reach - Hips height is now automatically set after the initial calibration ( no longer floating feet or bent legs after calibration ) - Fixed clavicles popping when arm raised - Fixed MetaHumans UI - Standard and VR Demo have been updated - Rigel for Unreal Engine 5 ( experimental version ) available: since Noitom Hi5 plugin is not yet available, you'll get some errors and/or crashes, but you'll be able to test Rigel on UE5!

Rigel V1.2 has been released I did several improvements over Rigel during the last month, in order to make the hands and feet tracking more precise, and also adding some unique features, such as the integration of a Full Body VR setup with advanced interactivity using the Vive Controllers, Valve Knuckles and Noitom Hi5.

I'm very proud to announce that Rigel, my "All in One" Full Body Motion Capture solution built using Unreal Engine 4 for body, fingers and face, has been released! Rigel Release Video You can download and try the demo using this link: Rigel V1.0 Demo I also created a series of Video Tutorials, in order to understand the Vive Trackers setup and how to use Rigel, and a detailed documentation page: Rigel Video Tutorials Rigel Documentation I want to personally thank Noitom for providing support and hardware over the years, so thanks to Dr. Tristan Dai, Alex and all the team. I also would like to thank Valve for sending me the Valve Knuckles. A huge shout out to Ian Ross, who took care of converting Rigel to C++, fixing bugs and creating the plugin. Thanks to Epic Games for creating Unreal Engine and becoming my favourite software of all time.

Hi all, We've recently updated our Rigel Demo by adding 3 Paragon Characters, Revenant, Yin and Lt.Belica, in order to show the Adaptable IK Retargeting. Rigel Demo Paragon Characters You can find the demo download, video setup and documentation using the link in the first post.

Hi all, We're releasing a demo for Rigel, our "All in One" Full Body Motion Capture Solution for body, fingers and face, so that potential customers can test this solution and evaluate accordingly. Here you can download the executable demo: Rigel Demo Since the introduction of the SteamVR Input plugin, there have been some changes related to the Vive Trackers setup, so we made a video explaining what needs to be done in order to make everything work during Rigel's Calibration. Rigel Demo Guidelines User Feedback is very important at this stage, so once you'll test Rigel, we ask you to spend a couple of minutes on this survey.
