Style Cloning

Learn about Style Cloning and how you can create completely original Styles for use within Motion Stage and Motion Factory.

Style Cloning is an enterprise solution, not available for free-trial customers. Contact Sales for more information.

Overview

If you have a specific style in mind for an animation that's not already provided by Motorica, you can create a Style Clone using your own mocap data.

Style Clone Datasets

Style clones require at least 5-10 minutes of high-quality mocap data so our training models can generate a well-performing Style.

Anytime you create a new Style Clone, Motorica will prompt you with our guidelines for uploading high-quality data, but you can also view the Style Cloning's Reference documentation for additional guidelines and information.

Data files

Files can be uploaded and viewed in your Style Clone's dataset dashboard. Whenever uploading files, the data must always be relevant to the desired Style so our training models can't misinterpret and miscreate a Style.

Root Motion Extraction

Motorica automatically extracts root motion data from uploaded files and will provide warnings and errors based on: whether the extraction was fully completed, if additional root motion values need to be manually edited, or if the data is unusable for our training models.

Root motion data can be easily edited and given reassigned positioning values within the dataset dashboard. If a file is given an error, you must manually edit the file in your DCC so it aligns with Motorica's guidelines.

Viewing root motion data

Motorica's root motion extraction system allows you to see the root motions provided by Motorica in the same exact engine interface as Motion Stage and Motion Factory. In this interface, you can scrub, playback, rotate, view character orientation along the root motion, and view the degree at which the character is facing off of the rooted zero during any spot within the animation.

We highly recommend viewing all of your uploaded files within the dataset dashboard. Even if there are no warnings or errors attached, viewing the training data can help spot differences and inaccuracies with root motion fields and parameters not caught by Motorica.

Fine-tuning a model

Once all your uploaded data has been reviewed, you can name the fine-tuned model of your Style and send a request to Motorica to generate the Style.

All fine-tuned models can be viewed in the Fine-tuned model dashboard.

Requests can take from 1-2 weeks to fully generate.
