NahualXR - Short form videos

Did this gameplay capture of the Chihuahua DAZ character inside the Unreal Engine Park environment, just a quick third person/dog custom character with game controller driven movements.

For this particular short I am using a free Park environment from the Unreal Engine Marketplace a Daz Alien character, and some Reallusion clothing items. At the very beginning of the scene I am testing a Mocap suite followed by a marketplace running cycle driven using game-controller animation tools from iClone + Livelink to record the take and render in Unreal Engine.

I made the short below as a entry for Rokoko's "Love at first Move Animation Challenge". The main point of the contest was to animate a character using "Rokoko Video", which is an AI animation tool (detects human movements and turns them into a basic animation).

I am using for this scene an Unreal Engine Forrest environment that I adjusted for night lightning, some VFX also from the UE Marketplace, a witch character from Daz, some Quixel MegaScans assets (Cauldron & Firewood) & AI generated voice.

It was originally published as a Tiktok during the FIFA 2022 World Cup. The animation was recorded within Unreal Engine using a plugin for Mocap using Vive Trackers.

For the scene, the Stadium & Alien come from Daz, for the clothing items some customizations on the textures were required. Camera animation & Rendering in Unreal Engine.

For this one I am using a Winter scene from the UE Marketplace, the Alien and Santa come from Daz. I made this one in Spanish but the dialog is basically the Alien questioning Santa whether he was going to get the skateboard he asked for Xmas and Santa says "no" to him because he misbehaved... pretty self explanatory what happens next. The scene ends with the Alien saying he is always well-behaved :P

The fight animation sequence used here comes from Reallusion's Marketplace, ignore the sliding, I should had baked it on iClone to get it as a single animation with no additional blending needed. I did the camera animation in UE driven by a Vive tracker mounted on a Gimbal. Used a voice changer for recording the dialog.
