Answers: How do I use the Rokoko Smartsuit Pro II for motion capture and clean up the animation in Blender?

• motion capture
• Smartsuit Pro II
• Rokoko Studio
• Blender retargeting
• inverse kinematics constraints

What it concludes

• The Rokoko Smartsuit Pro II costs around $2,300, significantly cheaper than older mocap suits priced at $25,000.
• Using Rokoko Studio and Blender together makes motion capture accessible and straightforward for creators without gatekeepers.
• Adding constraints and inverse kinematics in Blender refines motion capture data and fixes foot sliding and limb intersection issues.
