Project 3: _live-mocap
Live Mocap
Real-time webcam motion capture for Blender, using MediaPipe and OpenCV.
overview
Live Mocap turns a webcam into a motion capture studio. It tracks body movement in real time and retargets it to any Blender armature, without suits or sensors.
The Blender add-on is written in Python, with MediaPipe for pose detection and OpenCV for the camera feed.
