blender addon #618

Open carlosedubarreto opened 4 months ago

carlosedubarreto commented 4 months ago

Hello, it came to me that you were making this very interesting solution for markerless mocap. (a friend at discord told me about)

I'm building blender addons with some interesting codes that I find on github. Most of them are free and I make a few of them premium versions to try to support myself and help to pay the bills.

I dont have much free time, but maybe it would be cool to try to join forces and make a cool addon with the work you've been doing.

what do you think?

And seeing your will to make a free cool markerless mocap tool, I'm thinking of making my tool that is a bit similar to yours (but its a blender addon) to remove its price and make it avilable for free too.

anyway, I have a gumroad page where most of the addons are free or have a full free working version https://carlosedubarreto.gumroad.com

and I have a patreon site where I try to use to support myself while trying to do cool things for the blender community https://www.patreon.com/cebstudios

Let me know if you'd like some help on the blender part.

Cheers

@carlosedubarreto,

Thank you for reaching out about this! My motion capture background is rooted in biomechanics and the workflow of animators is sufficiently different that I generally feel overwhelmed trying to understand what may be useful to them. Collaborating on a project sounds like a wonderful idea!

The blender rig animation currently at the top of the README was first put together in an ad-hoc way, but I split it out into a rough attempt at a blender add-on in a separate project called Rigmarole.

The README of that project attempts to give a sense of the workflow. I don't know if my code for that is terribly comprehensible but hopefully it could serve as a starting point for a conversation about this.

I would be very interested in your thoughts.

Thank you again!

Mac

Haven't heard anything back on this one...

@mprib im so sorry, i ended up getting into 4 freelance projects while having a dayjob. These last 2 months were crazy.

Sorry for not answering earlier, it was not possible to do much.

I think and hope that in 2 months things get lighter on my side

@carlosedubarreto,

Sorry for my delay in responding! I'm reopening this just to keep it more "alive" when I get a chance to review issues. Totally understand the time constraints and I look forward to being able to make progress on something together in the future.

Best,

Mac
