Unreal Engine Versions
Dollars MoCap supports 4.26, 4.27, and all 5.X versions of Unreal Engine.
However, there is an issue with motion capture not functioning after packaging in version 5.0, so it is recommended to use version 5.1 or higher.
Download Dollars MoCap Plugin and Control Rig
You need to download the Unreal plugin and the required Control Rig from the Dollars MoCap website.
Copy the Plugin to Your Projects
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the Dollars directory and the Control Rig directory (here we use UE4 Mannequin as an example) to the Content directory of your project. Make sure the Dollars directory structure remains unchanged.
After opening your project, the file structure should look like below,
Changing the location of the Dollars directory during the initial copy will cause compilation errors.
If you wish to change the location of the Dollars directory, you can open the project, ensure it compiles correctly, and then move the directory within the Unreal Editor.
Activate the Plugins
- In Unreal Engine 4 (UE4): Activate the Ctrl Rig and OSC plugins.
- In Unreal Engine 5 (UE5): Since Ctrl Rig is activated by default, you only need to activate OSC.
Get Started!
After activating the plugins and restarting the project, the preparations are complete, and you can start integrating Dollars MoCap with your characters.
