Commissioned MoCap

Hacktop Studios offers a unique motion capture service that allows you to commission the actions you need without having to rent studio time or provide your own actors. Not having to be in our studio or rent your own studio means you can use our services from anywhere in the world. Even if you are local, with certain health and safety precautions, this can be an alternative to safely getting the motions you need without having to come into the space.

RECORD ANYWERE

  • Pay only per action not per hour.
  • Review 3 takes of each action as proofs before selecting/paying
  • Select the level of recording you need. Body, hand and/or face tracking
  • No need to be in the Seattle area

RAW FBX/GLTF 2.0 FILES

FBX is an industry standard and is supported by all major animation platforms such as Maya, Blender, Unreal, Unity and Godot. We also include the open GLTF 2.0 standard

MIXAMO COMPATIBLE ARMATURES

We convert all motion captures into the Mixamo armature to make it easy to implement and re-rig.

MULTIPLE TAKES

We do three takes of any action you request. You select the one you like best and only pay if you are happy with the result.

RE-USE DISCOUNTS

If you allow us to re-sell your recorded action you can get the setup fee waived. $100 value!

CONSISTENT PIPELINE

All motion captures go through our same re-rigging pipeline that outputs the same quality and naming conventions every time, regardless of MoCap equipment used.

FOSS SUPPORT

We support and actively contribute to the Free Open Source Software (FOSS) community. Including tools and patches to open source projects like Blender and Godot.
