While many industry professionals advised using Maya due to its robust mocap capabilities and MotionBuilder integration, we chose Blender as the core animation tool for its versatility and growing popularity. And, frankly it\u2019s the one 3D application we are familiar with due to extensive industry experience. However, relying solely on Blender posed challenges, particularly getting quick versions of the performance that can be instantly assessed and changed. Real filmmaking is about iteration and that\u2019s where iClone became invaluable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"61452\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/2025\/03\/13\/feature-animation-at-1-cost-one-pixel-brush-founder-leverages-cc-ic-for-real-time-filmmaking\/cristo-workflow\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;EricChang (\\u5f35\\u6643\\u9298)&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1739446562&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cristo workflow\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-workflow.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overcoming Traditional Animation Hurdles<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional mocap workflows often involve multiple steps, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reallusion.com\/iclone\/maya-motionbuilder-alternative\/mocap-animation-courses.html#mocap-correction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data cleanup<\/a><\/strong>, retargeting, and fine-tuning. By integrating <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mocap.reallusion.com\/iclone-motion-live-mocap\/rokoko.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iClone and Rokoko<\/a><\/strong>, we bypassed many of these hurdles. The Motion Live add-on for iClone made it very easy to quickly capture voice and face right onto the character and vet it instantly. We could record lines over and over again just sitting at a desk with no fancy gear besides an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Then, because Shaddy did all the voices, he would do one character, then the second, then the third, and edit all the spaces between the talking in iClone so the conversation flowed. Then it was relatively easy to set up cameras in iClone to actually <strong>see <\/strong>the scene play out. Of course there was no body animation or backgrounds at this point but the voice, and facial data was there and it was good enough to send to colleagues for feedback. Only after that would we utilize the Rokoko\u2019s suit doing our body performance to match the voice performance of each character. In this case, we recorded natively into the Rokoko application and just easily dragged it onto the character in Iclone and assigned the correct retargeting profile upon import.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christo incredulous COMPARE A004\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RhdXBBRjYE0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Another key advantage was cost-effectiveness. Unlike traditional mocap systems, which require expensive equipment and large studio spaces, the iClone-Rokoko setup offered a budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing too much quality. With animation you can get 85% of the way there for 1\/10th the budget, so that was our goal. Make it good enough to sell the intention of the scene but not to noodle it into Pixar quality animation \u2014 as we didn\u2019t have 100 million dollars.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enter iClone and Rokoko: A Game-Changing Combination<\/h3>\n<p>Recognizing the need for a more agile solution, we turned to Reallusion\u2019s iClone and Rokoko\u2019s mocap suit. This combination proved transformative for <em>Christo<\/em>, as it enabled rapid recording and editing of character movements but more importantly rapid vetting of performances and scenes. Additionally, iClone\u2019s compatibility with Blender meant that Loic could relatively easily transfer mocap data for further refinement and rendering.<\/p>\n<p>For the body suit part, it\u2019s not that difficult.<\/p>\n<figure data-carousel-extra=\"{\" blog_id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"61466\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/2025\/03\/13\/feature-animation-at-1-cost-one-pixel-brush-founder-leverages-cc-ic-for-real-time-filmmaking\/cristo-03\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;EricChang (\\u5f35\\u6643\\u9298)&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1739378548&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cristo-03\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-1024x576.jpg\" data-id=\"61466\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"61464\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/2025\/03\/13\/feature-animation-at-1-cost-one-pixel-brush-founder-leverages-cc-ic-for-real-time-filmmaking\/cristo-07\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;EricChang (\\u5f35\\u6643\\u9298)&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1739379314&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cristo-07\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-1024x576.jpg\" data-id=\"61464\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine.reallusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Cristo-07.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting up the facial and body mocap<\/h3>\n<p>After a series of trial and error, we managed to set up the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mocap.reallusion.com\/iclone-motion-live-mocap\/iphone-live-face.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facial mocap<\/a><\/strong> with my iPhone and Live FACE.
