About mocopi Receiver Plugin for Maya

The mocopi Receiver Plugin for Maya (hereinafter, "Maya Plugin") can receive motion data sent from the mocopi app via UDP and apply it to an avatar in a Maya project. It can be used to stream motion data to Maya 2022, Maya 2023 and Maya 2024 and Maya 2025 and is available for Windows and Mac.

This guide will provide information on the basic tasks that can be accomplished on Maya using the plugin on Windows.
On Mac, only a few file paths (e.g. for installation) will change, the plugin UI will be almost the same.

You can animate the mocopi character; drive another 3D character using the mocopi character’s motion as source, and you can also record the character movement (motion data) in Maya, to be used later or applied to another character.
