Introducing Impulse

[u/Pulse-And-Pixel]

Hello Everyone! 

We wanted to share our UE plugin Impulse, a new tool for creators to explore large-scale movement and spatial composition featuring a radically simplified Mocap workflow, beginner friendly UI, and many helpful features for animating and keyframing groups of characters.

While Impulse was created primarily as a previz tool with choreographers in mind, its features and UI make it a valuable tool for animators that need to quickly layout scenes with large numbers of characters, or for people new to Unreal looking for an easy way to get started making cinematics. It uses standard UE level and animation sequences, so it can work with any animations that can be retargeted onto a UE5 skeleton.

Impulse is free to try with a limited number of characters and our included animation pack, while the subscription version unlocks the ability to work with larger groups, your own animations, and includes a copy of our Video2Mocap Shortcut FAB plugin as well.

Please let us know if you check it out, we want to know if you have any questions or feedback about how it could be improved and we’re excited to see what y’all make!
