Kinect MoCap Animator

This is a simple motion capturing tool that captures user motion from a body recording and saves it into a fbx animation clip. The recorded animation may be retargeted later to other humanoid models in your Unity projects, or edited with external tools like Autodesk’s ‘Maya’ or ‘3ds Max’.

Please note, the MoCap animator works with body recordings only. These body recordings can be created with the help of “Azure Kinect Examples for Unity” or “Kinect-v2 with MS-SDK”-assets.

Copy the previously created body recording file to the root folder of the ‘Kinect MoCap Animator’ project. 5. Open and run the KinectMocapAnimator-scene. 6. Change the name of the body recording file, or the user index, if needed. 7. Press ‘Start MoCap’ to start capturing the body motion of the selected user from the beginning. 8.
