This article details the steps for live-streaming your motion data directly into Reallusion iClone. 

Requirements

In order to set up the livestreaming process, we will need to go through Rokoko Studio and iClone. A video tutorial can be found attached below.

Rokoko Studio settings

  • Go to the Livestreaming tab and click on cog wheel button.

  • Ensure that the IP address and Port number match their counterparts in iClone. For local connection the loopback address 127.0.0.1 should be used.
  • If you want to stream data from one computer to another, you will need to insert into Rokoko Studio's settings the computer's IP that has iClone running on it instead.

iClone settings

  • In iClone, open the Motion LIVE plugin from the Plugins drop down menu. If you haven't yet downloaded the plugin, you can do so here.

  • In the Motion LIVE panel, we only need to use the Body option for both body and fingers.

    Click the "+" button. There should be an option for Rokoko Studio, called Rokoko. 

    Set the IP and the port number to match the IP and port number you are forwarding from Studio, and enable the connection by clicking into the circle button O, under Body.
  • Head to the Body section under the Character List. Then click the Warning triangle button, choose the Rokoko connection and check the box.

Streaming Face data to iClone

Live streaming face data captured by our app (Rokoko Face Capture) from Rokoko Studio Live to iClone is unfortunately not supported in Reallusion’s Motion Live plugin. We currently only support live face data streaming in our Unreal, Unity and Blender plugins. 

You can use the following:

  • Reallusion’s own face tracking app and combine it with the data from the Smartsuit Pro for live streaming or you can export the blendshapes as an FBX file in Rokoko Studio and then import it into iClone.
  • The Rokoko Headcam along with Reallusion's AccuFace.
  • An iPhone with TrueDepthCamera along with Reallusion's LiveFace app for iPhone.
