Adjust MoCap recordings Michelle

[timjzee]

The MMVR mocap recordings for Michelle need some adjustment. To do this:

• Open the raw animation file
• Click "Edit in Sequencer > Bake to control rig > Metahuman control rig
• In the sequencer select the relevant controls (related to spine) and click button to edit using curve editor.
• Make the necessary translations and rotations
• Bake the sequence to animation

Order of curve editor adjustments:

1. spine_01_ctrl
2. spine_02_ctrl
3. spine_03_ctrl
4. neck_01_ctrl
5. clavicle_l_ctrl
6. clavicle_l_ctrl

For each of these controls the adjustment basically is: Adjust Rotation.Pitch such that it is centred around 0.

Additional adjustments we might want to make:

• Compensate for pitch drift of the spine. Adjust Rotation.pitch of body_ctrl using Multi Select tool with First Key Pivot Type and Scale: 0.
• Move left arm (elbow) out a bit, increase Location.X of clavicle_l_ctrl or Location.Z of lowerarm_l_fk_control
• Move right arm (elbow) in a bit, decrease Rotation.Pitch of upperarm_r_fk_ctrl

• Move neck01 toward left shoulder a bit, Location.X towards 0

Be very careful to always limit adjustment of curves to Y direction.
