This guide assumes you are using a model that supports PerfectSync. Other models will have incomplete expressions, blinking, and eye movement. The data from VirgoMotion is still available, so you can resolve these individually using blueprints.

Overview​

A plugin for using VirgoMotion's motion capture features in Warudo.

Quick Start​

Installing the Warudo Plugin​

Copy VirgoMotionStudio/Tools/WarudoPlugin/VirgoMotion.warudo to the Plugins folder in the Warudo data folder.

Copy plugin file

The Warudo data folder can be accessed from the Warudo Editor menu under Open Data Folder.

Open data folder

Select About from the Warudo Editor menu. If Virgo Motion is displayed, the plugin installation was successful.

Launching VirgoMotionFusion​

Launch VirgoMotionCapture on iPhone and VirgoMotionFusion on PC. Fusion is located in the Tools folder.

VirgoMotionStudio/Tools/VirgoMotionFusion/VirgoMotionFusion.exe

info

VirgoMotionFusion takes capture data received from VirgoMotionCapture and bone information received from Warudo, constructs the pose, and sends it to Warudo.

Virgo Motion Tracker Asset​

Tracker asset

You can check the connection status with Fusion and whether motion data is being received.

Rebuild Character Skeleton Button​

Resends the character's bone information to Fusion. You generally don't need to press this, but if the character's posture becomes distorted, pressing this may resolve the issue.

Character​

Sets the character being controlled by motion capture. Since VirgoMotion constructs poses on the Fusion side tailored to the character's skeleton, it needs to know which character is being controlled. This can also be set from blueprint nodes.

Get Virgo Motion Receiver Data Node​

Character​

Specifies the character to control. This overrides the character set in the VirgoMotion Tracker asset associated with the receiver.

Origin Transform​

VirgoMotion constructs the character's position and pose relative to the camera's position and rotation. Therefore, camera origin information is required. By setting the actual iPhone camera height in Position Y in meters, the character can be projected to a natural position. Setting Rotation Y rotates the camera, and the character as seen from the camera rotates accordingly.

info

The specification of using the camera position as the origin is essential for creating accurate poses as seen from the camera. The camera's pose and FOV are also fixed to match the actual iPhone camera's FOV. If you don't require that level of accuracy, want to freely set the character's position, or want to set the camera FOV, you can address this by modifying the blueprints.
