Impulse

a creative tool for choreographers built for @unrealengine
created by artists, for aritsts to extend the dance studio into virtual space

As a choreographer, I always wanted a way to see movement at scale before having the full ensemble in the room.

That’s why we built @impulsetool.

Impulse is now open to individual creators, with a free version available today.

Introducing Impulse: a plugin for @UnrealEngine that transforms it into a pre-visualization tool for choreographers.

Take one movement and instantly see it on a full cast of digital dancers.

No coding.
No blueprints.
Just simple buttons to get you working with motion capture data more efficiently.

Took a deep dive into @UnrealEngine’s new Markerless MoCap plugin just released and am really impressed. It is a game changer for this quality of mocap to be accessible to everyone for FREE.

The 30 sec video took 6 mins to process on a 5090 GPU so patience is key. The raw data you get is impressive though! Captures nice nuance and even doesn’t break when my hand goes out of frame.

I’ll be continuing to do some experiments and share results. Can’t wait to hook it up to @impulsetool to start to build dances at scale!

Congrats to @Michael_J_Black & team for the excellent work and commitment to bring mocap to the masses.

We finally made working with MoCap in @UnrealEngine simple.

Introducing Impulse: your tool to make large-scale animation scenes in Unreal in just seconds.

Built by artists for artists, Impulse takes the complicated and slow mocap pipeline and translates it into a few simple clicks.

Whether you're an Unreal expert or have never touched it, you can get started today.
