MocapX VS nawmalMAKE

I’ve been using FaceAR in Unreal and Unity for the past few years. It always took so much time to export then test in the engine. Now with MocapX I can test directly in Maya and not waste time exporting and always reconnecting the phone.

I know it’s kinda a bummer you cant test what your phone in real time with the app but it works just like it does in Unreal. I say Unreal and not Unity because I find Unity’s playback a little slow.

Also, I’ve been in constant feedback with the devs. Their support is awesome. I really can’t ask for more from this product.

It works great both for local recording and real-time streaming. The plugin with live mocap data is a huge time saver and works great over wifi. It takes some time to set up the poses, but after that, it's great. If you're a character animator and you use Maya, this is the tool for you.

NawmalMAKE is the relaunch of a software called Xtranormal Desktop, a software that dominated the YouTube drag and drop animation industry in the early 2010s. NawmalMAKE has a lot of features that the much more affordable and restricted NawmalEDU doesn’t, such as ability to place characters wherever in a scene as well as walking, voice recording, and premium actors and sets. NawmalMAKE would be good if it was 1/2 as expensive. Vyond is a cheaper and much better alternative although the animation is in 2D.
