Rokoko Studio Legacy - Unreal Virtual Production Sample Project

[Rokoko Studio Legacy](https://support.rokoko.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410415520529-Getting-Started-Rokoko-Legacy) is A powerful and intuitive software for recording, visualizing and exporting motion capture. This sample project for Unreal contains a more advanced setup with [HTC Vive integration](https://support.rokoko.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410465135761-Setting-up-Virtual-Production-in-Rokoko-Studio-Legacy) for Virtual Camera use and [Face Capture](https://www.rokoko.com/en/products/face-capture) streaming using the [Rokoko Remote App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rokoko-remote/id1465692290). The project comes with dependencies for the plugins "Rokoko Live", "SteamVR" and "VirtualCamera". ![Unreal Viewport ](https://github.com/Rokoko/Unreal-Demo-Project/raw/master/Images/unrealViewport.PNG?raw=true) If you want to learn more about the basics of setting up a Smartsuit with Unreal Engine, you can watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibawBo0d4gk Or you can browse the tutorials on https://www.rokoko.com/ --- ## Setting up the Live Link stream In order to use face and tracker information, you'll first need to setup a connection between Rokoko Studio Legacy and Unreal Engine through Live Link. This is the format we currently stream the information for face and trackers in, though you can still use the suit without Live Link. In Rokoko Studio Legacy, set up live streaming as normal. For the unreal project we are using the port 14043 for suits and 14045 for virtual production. In Unreal, go to window - Live Link. Add a source, and choose "Rokoko Studio Source". Choose "Studio", and click "Okay". Rokoko is now streaming any live suits/trackers/faces, and Unreal Engine is now looking for the live link stream whenever play mode in the editor is activated. ## Virtual Camera Setup In Studio, connect to steamVR and add trackers. Assign one of these trackers to any prop. Now the tracker data is being streamed to Unreal via Live Link If you want to use the virtual camera, you have to change the gamemode to VirtualCameraGamemode (or SiggraphVirtualCameraGameMode). In order to control what prop from Studio is currently controlling the tracker, open up the VirtualCameraPlayerController (or SiggraphVirtualCameraGameMode) in your content browser. In here, you can change the class defaults "Input source" to "Live Link", and state a Live Link Target Name (You can see the valid targets inside the Live Link window while playing). For siggraph we used a custom virtual camera, that has some gamepad controls for controlling the scene. If you want to check these controls out, they are defined in the input manager under project settings. If using the siggraphCamera, you also need to open up the level blueprint, and reconnect BeginPlay to the loose nodes (They tell the siggraphcamera where to find certain actors). The siggraph version of the virtual camera does not work in packaged builds. If you want Box-1 from Studio to control the virtual camera, you have to change the target name to prop:L:Box-1 for example ## Face setup In Studio, connect to a smartphone with Rokoko Remote. On the smartphone, enable facial capture. Back in studio, drag the face input to a body profile, now the face data is being streamed to Unreal via Live Link Inside Unreal, you can change how Unreal treats the incoming blendshape data, inside the animation blueprint in the "Character" folder.
