Frequently asked questions
How do I retarget Live animation data to a custom character in Blender?
For now, we're recommending the Expy Kit for retargeting RADiCAL Live animation data in Blender.What kind of hardware and software do I need to run RADiCAL Live and Blender?
RADiCAL Live is device- and software-agnostic. Any consumer-grade device will do the trick, as long as it has a camera, the Chrome browser, and an internet connection. You can use RADiCAL Live on devices running on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Blender has its own demands that are completely independent of RADiCAL's platform. What you need in terms of hardware and software depends largely on what you're building. You can see more here: Blender requirements.
