This seems promising.. VAM would communicate with this thing and it would move according to what is going on in the scene?
How much work is it to get it working?

How much work is it to get it working?
Dude you are pulling 3500 - 4000 Dollars (or more) a month with your patreon and yet you are still here on this piracy board pitching your business. Good content = more people support. Yes, you are being greedy. Be happy with what you have.Even pirates can help :
Most of you guys know me and know my work. I am a motion capture creator for Virtamate. I have always strived to innovate the way we do things in VAM but sadly we have reached a wall. The tech we are using right now is not up to par and we are stuck with the same semi-boring scenes. Motion capture creators are trying all sort of solutions and I don't want to sound like an a-hole but I've already tested most of them months ago. Nothing works except submillimeter optical tracking. The tech we are using right now (vice trackers) is submillimeter tracking but it is not made for this kind of work. This tech is meant for gaming and most of the time it fails. Occlusion is a big problem (body parts get in front of the sensors) and because the way VAM recording works, any error will ruin the scene. There are not many body positions that we can do with this tech. Laying on the belly is impossible, doggy is close to impossible, hip movement is not well tracked, fast movement will lose tracking, cumbersome sensors, small tracking space. These are some of the problems we have to deal with. We can't even do a proper catwalk. Not to mention multi actor tracking. Why not mention it? Because there is none. As far as I am aware I am the first mofo who tried double model animation. The way I did it is to record the first model and then the second one. It works to a degree but we can't really sync stuff so it looks weird. We need proper multi actor tracking.
Some creators are trying new methods like the Rokoko suit. I really hope they make it and to a degree it might be useful. Sadly I have tested the suit extensively with VAM. Results were very poor. The suit drifts, has no absolute positioning, does not understand elevation and also needs hard cleaning of the mocap. With hard cleaning we lose a lot of resolution from the mocap. To get an idea of this get one of my mocaps and apply ''smooth moves'' plugin to all of it. You will see the loss in resolution.
I have also tried PlayStation Eye tracking with 4 cameras. Nothing worked. We need a better solution.
ENTER OPTITRACK
Optitrack is ''military grade'' optical tracking use by AAA studios, movies studios, science labs and science colleges. It is the best we've got when it comes to tracking.
Submillimeter tracking, multi actor support, VR supported, finger tracking, face tracking, fast movement tracking. With this system, an acrobatic pole dance would be a breeze. It would be impossible to track this with the vive trackers. So no strippers for us
Sex scenes would look extremely realistic with two actors being tracked in the same time.
Because the set-up is easy we can have professional dancers tracked and also fast movement will not be a problem. Surface tracking is up to 10x10 meters and that means catwalks would be extremely easy to do.
The accuracy of the tracking will allow us to capture the fine detail in movement.
The system uses a suit with light markers and that means the actor/model can move naturally. We can capture the difference in motion from actor to actor. One person moves in a certain way and others move differently. With the current system our models move kind of like gorillas.
VAM is an amazing software and motion capture breaths life into our models. I believe we can do better that we are right now.
I am going to build this system and I need your help to do it. If you love my work and love motion capture you understand how important it is to build such a system and I am asking for your help
I am setting up this Patreon in order to raise the funds and build the damn thing. Why Patreon? Because I am a filthy romanian and I am not allowed on the crowdfunding websites also Patreon has been good to me and everything was always cool with them.
I know I am going to get some hate for this and people will say am I am greedy. I am telling you, if I could build this on my own I would.
Any donations coming trough this patreon will remain there until the goal is reached.
If this is successful, backers of this project will receive exclusive motion captured scenes that will never again be available on the main patreon.
Depending on the tier of the donation you will receive the equivalent of being subbed to my main patreon. I will do an average of how many mocaps I get a month and you will receive that amount of exclusive mocaps done on the new system
Here you have a link with the system at work :
It does not matter how long it takes to get to the goal as long as we get there. I would prefer to build it before 2.0 is out.
I am taking a risk with this but I don't care. All I care about is stepping up the mocap game for VAM.
I will keep this patreon updated with info and future plans. I have already contacted the Optitrack staff and we are working on a set-up that would be perfect for VAM.
Let's fucking do this and I promise you that you'll experience shit in VAM that no one thought possible.
TO ALL MY PATREONS : To get some attention to this project I will dump all my work again for free. Please don't feel left out or bummed out because you payed and others are getting it for free. I am very grateful for your support and I am able to do this kind of work only because of you. Thank you!

It's not about the money my dude
. No one is forcing you do do anything. It's my duty to let people know the can support a better system. Aren't you fucking tired of the same bullshit scenes? I am. A think we can do better. I see no one trying to do it. Fuck it I'll do it. People are rasing millions for all sorts of stupid shit. I think this is worth it. Also I am making money because I make decent content. Good luck

To be honest I don't know if it supports toes. I do know it supports finger tracking, The tracking is submillimeter so it's the best there is.

Well I've been doing mocaps for VAM for 7 months now. I am sorry but you clearly are not experienced enough to have a real opinion on this. I could go into details why optitrack is the best choice but I am lazy.First lets ask the question for who does this project makes sense
We have so many Motion Capture data to work with by now and bring it into all kind of results the mass of data we acquired will allow us to go much further together with the underlying physics in play.
Sooner or later we wont only have a complete Motion Builder inside of VAM but much more
The Goal overall is to make all these things easier for the big masses so i don't see the use of a more complex Motion Capture project for this Goal.
It only makes sense for the individual users Realtime VR Interaction experience to improve this but not everyone will be able to purchase a optitrack or vicon setup so it's useless we can create submilimeter motion accuracy procedural out of the data we have by now coupling it with the physics model for non realtime interaction use cases at least.
Miscreated is doing here some really good foundation work
To lazy to explain why the project makes sense and why people should give you money?
No it's not your "duty" dude and thanks for stating the obvious. My question is why would you even create a second patreon account for this? Why not use your existing one where you are already closer to the money amount that you want? You are asking for 27,000 euros per month (PER MONTH) not even set as a patreon Goal, PER MONTH, maybe you should change that? You don't show any product prices or documentation. Maybe change that too?It's not about the money my dude
Good luck with your project

Thanks man. As I stated the patreon page is not ready. I am not using my own patreon because I don't want to confuse people. I will not use any money on that patreon until I am ready to build the system. I am not able to use a crowd funding platform because I am from Romania. And also documentation it's on it's way
Somebody linked to it here previously, but TempestVR is doing the OSR2 (free) and the OSR2+ (sub) as well as the New SR6 or whatever he called it.
Incredibly cheaper than the Launch. The "free" OSR2 is 3D printed with a few parts you can get from Aliexpress. I built one and it works well, using just 2 servos it does up down as well as tilt left/right motion. There is a plugin for VAM and demo scenes.
If you use the files linked here or better still, subscribe to him you can add another axis to tilt back and forwards as well as twist/rotate and open/close the "suction" valve. You don't have to use the expensive electronics he links (I used a cheap <$5 Arduino pro micro).
I printed all the parts with no issues and it was easy to assemble. Total cost was <$40 including servos.

im pretty sure this one of the scenes from WeebU. Check his stuff, he has lots futa on male/futa
Seems to be a lot of negativity and misunderstanding recently around a certain content creator.
I think people feel they are "purchasing goods" when they subscribe to Patreon, that is not the case. You are a "patron of the arts". You give money so they can create.
You are not buying goods.
Also, nobody is forcing anybody to give them money. They can ask for whatever they want. If this is their business and how they fund their life it's not greed. Do you call everybody greedy when they collect their paycheck or ask for a raise?
People need to chill and enjoy the content being created and get a lot less judgey about others.

I guess you are talking about me. Thanks for having my back man. People seem to think they buy stuff from me but patreon does not work like that. They support me so I can do my craft. People will always be mean though. Very well put.

If you make stuff for free than the Creators that have paid stuff complain about you using the free stuff and have to name every single item from a Creator and give them the credits for it or else you get banned, but i think it's just because you make good free content so they get pissed if you give looks for free and they where of good quality.
you might have seen them......

You can follow the flow as soon as you are a hoarder that comes here every day and read every post.
You already have the Vam Hub for previews and much more info, when you see something you like you can come to the official subforum and easily search for that stuff.
I don't want to download every VAR on existence (that's diogenes), that's why we created the torrent so people can select and unselect the stuff they wanted. I'm not interested at all in most stuff that seems crap for me, won't say what exactly but i'm sure a lot of people think the same way.
I agree there is a lot of bad stuff on Vam Hub and even a lot of the paid stuff is crap. And a lot off hate from some Creators when you make good stuff (from the free stuff).
