TDPT can motion capture in real-time just by taking a picture of the whole body on the camera. You can motion capture in real-time while playing from a video. Make sure that the camera captures the whole body by yourself. Similarly, please use a video that shows the whole body alone. If multiple people are shown at the same time or only the upper body is shown, motion capture cannot be performed normally. In addition, more accurate motion capture can be achieved in bright conditions such as the source of sunlight than when shooting at night. In TDPT, you can also set the image of the "Photos" app as the background image, or read the file of your VRM avatar and change the avatar. In the '' Premium Features '', you can change your avatar from VRoid Hub, and add functions such as sending and exporting motion data.
