I found Ai / machine learning to convert video to mocap

Here's a tutorial using Deepmotion with a Daz3d G2 figure, I tried it with a shutterstock video and it works great.

Once you've gone thru the process with a G2 figure you can save it in DeepMotion so you can apply other video feeds.

I tried this a year or so ago and was not happy with the results. If you were able to make this work I'd love to see an example.

I doubt anything like this will be particularly good, I'm just happy to have something that only takes a few tweaks to make usable vs startin from scratch. This is really great for animating everyday motions that few artists are going to invest time into.
