Guide: Installing DEMoCap (Drag[en]gine Motion Capture) on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is DEMoCap (Drag[en]gine Motion Capture)? Features and Description

DEMoCap allows to do Motion Capture using VR equipment for example for Game Development.


DEMoCap allows to do Motion Capture using VR equipment for example for Game Development. There are various advantages to this technique compared to other MoCap techniques:
  • Less expensive equipment
  • Quick to equip actor for performing.
  • Does not require large rooms build especially for MoCap.
  • Allows actors to see the scene in which they have to perform.
  • Capture motion in real time without post processing.
  • Capture any count of characters and interactions between them no matter doing motion capture as single person or a group.
  • Easily re-take captures of individual characters without re-taking all.
  • Allows capturing complex characters (body, tails, wings, additional arms, u.s.f.)

DEMoCap is build using the Drag[en]gine Game Engine. The resulting captured animations are usable directly in the Drag[en]gine Game Engine or can be imported into Blender3D for editing. Using Blender the captured animations can be used for everything Blender3D can be used for.

DEMoCap uses the original armature/skeleton without modification. The captured animation is directly usable in-game.

Using Motion Transfers DEMoCap supports various kinds of armatures/skeletons. You can capture humanoid characters, beastly characters, tails, wings, extra arms, and more. You can also capture First Person Hands for first person view oriented games.

Using VR you can recreate the relevant parts of your game scene. This allows your actor to perform more natural and animations are better fitting to your game scene.

Define precisely where your animation origins are located in-game. This ensures captured animations are properly positioned and oriented without the need to post-process them to fit into your game.

In short DEMoCap accelerates the animation production allowing for higher quality animations to be done in less time.

DEMoCap is Open Source. The GitHub repository link can be found at the home page.
To use DEMoCap you need SteamVR and Drag[en]gine version 1.10 or higher.
