OSX, another pose estimation tool, maybe mocap?

I was presented to OSX a few days ago, and after testing it, I found that the result was pretty good. And I'm starting to test it more, and I'll try to export the result to Blender.The main problems are that the tool was not made for video. It actually works on image only. Making it work on a image sequence should not be complicated, but the result will end up shaking. That is a usual problem when there is no temporal coherence added to the code. But I think its possible to be "fixed" using smoothnet, the code I added to CEB 4d ...

CEB 4D Humans 0.063 Fix Smooth

this update comes to fix the problem when you try o smooth a scene where there are characters that are not always on the footage. Now it works.

CEB 4D Humans 0.062 Update Info

On this video you will know more about this last update.In resume, it splits the smooth option, where you can apply it only on the translation, on the pose or both at the same time.This split was important, because on some animation you might have the result with the translation messed up.Watch the video to see the example.and get the update attached bellow or on the all addons gumroad pack.

CEB 4D Humans 0.06

This release gives the option to smooth the animation for a more stable result.To do that, after executing the proccess you will have a smooth button. Pressing it, the addon will create another file with the smoothed result.when importing you can choose the raw data or the smoothed one.Check the video on the header of this post to see how you can use it.The addon is attached on this post

CEB 4D Humans 0.06 (automatically fixing animation)

On thie version 0.06 I'm testing a solution applying smoothnet to make the animation more stableOn the video you can see that the animation on the right is more stable, it is the one with the smoothnet applied, while the animation on the right is the deafult 4d humans output.After a week of research, Only today I was able to get some result out of it, so it might take a couple of weeks to release a version.

CEB 4d Humans progress

Hello, I just wanted you all to know that I'm working hard on making the result from 4d humans more stable.To do that I'm diving into some filtring algorithms and found some tinressting one, that I'm trying to implement on the addon.If all goes fine, on the weekend I might have a sample to show, and after that I'll insert the function on the addon.Some might ask, why not focus on SLAHMR and make an addon for it sooner?Its because the SLAHMR is much more complex and takes much longer to process, and I feel that with a bit more wo...

CEB 4D Humans is closer

After weeks trying the code from https://github.com/shubham-goel/4D-Humans, I found a way that could be simple and fast to get the animation from a footage to 3d, getting all the characters in that scene at the same time.On the video you can have an idea of the workflow I've built.I'm planning to make a few more tests to be able to release this first version for Patrons.

Importing 4D Humans in Blender (pkl example and blend file with script)

If you want to try 4d Humans, you can get the code at: https://github.com/shubham-goel/4D-HumansAnd the SMPL file at: https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/download.phpFollowing this tutorial (https://youtu.be/WYdO0fOxEWU) you will be able to get the animation generated with 4d Humans inside blender.I hope you enjoy, this one was very difficult to make, but its amazing to see the results in blender.I wish to thank a lot the Patrons because their support makes this possible. ❤️

4D humans, another monocular markerless mocap solution

Last week I was able to try this code, that you can get fromhttps://github.com/shubham-goel/4D-HumansIt outputs a pkl and a mp4 file as result.But how to import it in blender?After spending my whole weekend trying, I was able to get a very good solution to import the data in blender.If you are a patreon you can have access to this code now, athttps://www.patreon.com/posts/importing-4d-in-86941163But I must say it will need a bit of work to be able to use it at the current state that it is.

Importing 4d humans in blender (WIP code)

After having the pkl file from 4d humans (https://github.com/shubham-goel/4D-Humans) I was able to make a code that can import it in blender.To be able import in blender, you can get the file attached and you'll need a SMPL_MALE.fbx file from https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/ and put the fbx file on the same folder that you have the blend file download from this post. You can also get a sample pkl file that I've executed here, put it in the same folder of the blend file.I'll build an addon for it, but if you want to get your hands dirty y...

CEB Pixelation test

Here is a preview of the addon I'm working on, based on the code from https://github.com/WuZongWei6/PixelizationUsing a video from Kistina Rybalchenko nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpHjRsNuiIfaJR1n_9I0EvQI must say, it reminds me a bit of the games from my youth 😍

Endorfina, throw test

This is a more dynamic test, I'm throwing the character on the scene.it took less than 5 minutes to be done. (after having the scene setup ready)I plan to make more test with different scenarios to see what else can be done with this new solution. I'll keep showing the progress here.

CEB SDM UniPS 0.02 - Batch Update

This update brings the option to run the process through lots of folders at the same time.to execute it, you need to use these 2 options marked in red

Endorfina (Blender alternative to Endorphin)

After several tries to find a way to get a legal copy of Endorphin that disapeard from the internet for mor than 5 years, I decided to make my own alternative.Endorphin is a great software that enables you to make ragdol physics on humanoid characters. But not only that, I found that it was also great to make animations with it.As I didnt have response about having a way to get a legal copy of Endorphin, I started a couple of weeks ago to start my own vision of Endorphin, that I called Endorfina (that is Endorphin but in Portuguese ☺️)After...

CEB SDM UniPS (Creating high quality PBR Maps from images)

This addon outputs better texture maps (in my opinion). To use custom images you have to follow some steps, taking multiple pictures using different light scenario where you keep the camera at the same place.You can get a better instruction about it at: https://github.com/satoshi-ikehata/SDM-UniPS-CVPR2023#step-2-image-acquisitionTo get the addon, just download from this link: https://carlosedubarreto.gumroad.com/l/sdm_unipsor get it attached on this post

Infinigen on Windows (creating virtual worlds procedurally)

Folowing this tutorial you will be able to use Infinigen even on windows.The approach used was to have a Virtual Machine with everything ready to use, and with a couple of commands you can tell it to generate the world and copy it to the host machine.Attached is the text used on the video tutorial, it is aldo inside the gumroad link.To get it for free use the coupon i8nej6rDownload: https://carlosedubarreto.gumroad.com/l/infinigensource code: https://github.com/princeton-vl/infinigen

PanoHead example

Pano head seems to be a great project to create full head with a single image.On the video at the to of the page is the video showing it creating a projection using some AI power 😊Bellow you can see what it generates as a full head using that single image referenceIf you want to install it, you can do, going on this link:https://github.com/SizheAn/PanoHeadAttached you can find a ply result from the process, using some changes made by Hackman, that you can find at:https://github.com/hack-mans/PanoHead

Infinigen (creating worlds automatically)

Currently I'm working on a way to make infinigen to make it work in windows, and if possible as an addon for blender users.the original project can be found at:https://github.com/princeton-vl/infinigenThe image on the post is a test I was able to make today.I'll keep posting about the development.

CEB Track Anything Preview 3

Its almost done. I just have to test on other machine, pack everything and make a tutorial.Probably tomorrow will be out.On this video I show how to use the addon to optimize a video, and remove the girl head, and also get the masks for the girl head.You can notice that the inpaint tool to remove the head seems not to work at the start of the video, after running the inpaint. I noticed that the subject is removed if you have anough movement, if the thing you want to remove doesnt move, that part has almost no effect. So take this in considerati...
