Streaming Mocap Data into Meligo

Meligo is a tool that allows real-time motion data to be applied to virtual characters, enabling live operation and direction of virtual performances.

With MOVIN TRACIN and MOVIN Studio, you can stream high-quality motion capture data directly into Meligo in real time. This makes it suitable for virtual broadcasting and real-time content production.

1. Import the same character into MOVIN Studio and Meligo#

   

   • In Meligo, go to the Character tab and click the + button to import a VRM character file.

   • In MOVIN Studio, import the same VRM character file that was imported in Meligo.

     • For details on how to import a character, please refer to Import Character and Retargeting

     • If a character file is not imported in MOVIN Studio, the motion data streamed live to Meligo may not be displayed

       

     • If different character files are loaded in MOVIN Studio and Meligo, the streamed motion data may appear broken or distorted in Meligo.

     

     • Even if the character appears to be the same, using different file formats can also cause issues with live streaming.

     • When the exact same character file is imported in both MOVIN Studio and Meligo, live streaming will work smoothly.

       

2. Enable OSC/VMC Protocol Reception in Meligo#

   

   • In Meligo, go to Motion Capture Tab > OSC/VMC Protocol Settings. Check the “Enable Reception” checkbox.
   • Check Full Body Reception to receive full-body motion data, or select specific body parts to stream partial motion data.

3. Start Streaming from MOVIN Studio#

   

   • In MOVIN Studio, open the Streaming tab and select Meligo as the platform.
     Then, click Start Streaming to start streaming.
   • You can then see the motion data from MOVIN Studio streaming to Meligo in real time.
