Multi-character Motion Capture

  • The unprecedented MVN Animate Pro software gives the tracked mocap data correct space orientation and accurate movement distance. Which makes multi-character capture with complex interaction possible.
  • Xsens MVN Animate Pro software can support up to four Xsens mocap sources either from MVN Link or MVN Awinda suites, In this demo case, the left is MVN Link, the right one is MVN Awinda model.

Designed for Intense Action

  • The Xsens mocap systems can accurately capture high-speed and off-the-floor extreme actions, such as jumping, fighting, dancing, or stunts. The systems are perfectly suitable for live performance without data clean-up.
  • Xsens mocap has been used by professional studios around the world for action movies, video games, and other productions that need to break the limit of actors’ action.

Floor and Kneeling Action

Different from optical mocap systems, Xsens’ inertial sensor based tracking technology can effectively capture actors’ floor movements like tumble, roll and kneel without data occlusion, giving actors another dimension of freedom of performing.

Full-body Capture Ready

Through Motion LIVE’s Unified Mocap Interface, the Xsens system can synchronously work with facial and hand capture devices to become a full-body mocap solution. Moreover, the body, facial, and hand mocap data can be separately saved in different layers for further editing.
