VP Production Setup


Setting up a virtual production setup to capture mocap, face tracking and real actors on a green plate with realtime previz on a budget.

Equipement:
workstation with GTX1080
laptop with RTX3070  
Panasonic LUMIX DC-S5
VIVE Pro 2 Full Kit + bases and trackers
Iphone XS
Mocap Fusion + APS Plugin
~DIY head mount soon


How it works: We run our workstation with Vive Pro 2 trackers and base
                                launch the VR mocap software call Mocap Fusion
                                set all the trackers to their function and do Tpose to calibrate
                                run Unreal Engine 5.3 with the plugin APS Livelink
                                connect the two pc to a same wifi network for them to communicate
                                record the cam movement with a tracker too
                                enter play in editor mode and then can record with take recorder the metahuman and cam animation
                                setting up a compositor to have a previz by connecting the camera to the laptop
                                shoot the camera footage in log
                                render in multiple layers the unreal engine scenes with camera and metahulan animation
                                composite in nuke the layers and the plate captured with the camera
