Contribute your mocap file to SongaMocap

Karibu! We're excited to potentially include your motion capture (mocap) data in the Songa Mocap Library.

Quality & Legal Considerations

The Songa Mocap Library maintains high standards to ensure the value and usefulness of its content. Here are some important points to consider before submitting your mocap data:

Originality: The mocap data must be entirely your own original work or created alongside others who have given you explicit permission to upload it to this website.

Licensing: By submitting your data, you grant it a CC0 license, meaning you relinquish your copyright. This allows anyone to freely use, modify, and distribute the data for any purpose. Please ensure you understand this irrevocable decision.

Copyrighted Material: The data cannot contain copyrighted elements like 3D Models or mocap assets that you didn't create yourself.

Quality: While we accept raw mocap data, we highly appreciate and prefer motion capture data that has already been post-processed. This helps ensure the material is practically useable by the public, and also keeps the movements true to your intent when retargeted to our avatar.

Content Requirements

In addition to the above, submissions to the Songa Mocap Library must include the following information:

  • Movement Description: Provide a clear and concise explanation of the gesture depicted in the mocap data. This will help users understand the intended meaning and application of the motion.
  • Geographic Region: If applicable, specify the geographical region or cultural context associated with the gesture. This information is valuable for researchers and creators working on projects with specific cultural relevance.
  • Recognition & Appreciation

    We value your contribution to the Songa Mocap Library! Individual contributors will be acknowledged upon approval of their mocap data. This acknowledgment may include listing your name or pseudonym alongside your submission within the library.

    Verification & Approval

    Once your mocap data is reviewed and approved, you'll be asked to sign a legal agreement confirming the information above and providing proof of authorship.

    We appreciate your interest in contributing to the Songa Mocap Library!
