Draft: shadermotion to BVH

Context and Problem Statement

Lacking characters motions to work with.

Transferring motions across platforms via video.

Describe the proposed option and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

#shadermotion allows us to transfer motion for other VR platforms into a standard motion format.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

ShaderMotion: “OBS” etc. motion captured video from VRChat.

Example: Floss.mp4

(repo: lox9973/ShaderMotion)

ShaderMotion => BVH

input: mpeg4
output: bvh

Requirements

.mp4 #shadermotion video
shadermotion-to-bvh by guillefix
- download shadermotion-to-bvh.zip from XXX github repo releases
- unpack to a folder

Conversion Process

Run shadermotion2.exe --video "yourvideo.mp4"

KEEP THE WINDOW FOCUSED

Once completed, look for yourvideo.bvh

Acknowledgments

Thanks to humbletim for being the scribe

Thanks to lyuma for being test pilot flying these steps

Positive Consequences

Able to have motion for characters

Negative Consequences

Many steps

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

#shadermotion is a novel solution to capturing motion from VRChat.

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

This document describes how to integrate #shadermotion with us.
