New Feature Highlights in iPi Motion Capture V 3.0: “The increased camera support and improved tracking reliability is a boon to our professional users with dedicated studio space looking to capture complex motion such as sports moves, fight sequences or choreographed dance.” “The new distributed recording feature in iPi Motion Capture 3.0 offers customers significant workflow options to meet the growing complexity of today’s motion capture performance requirements without a bottleneck,” Michael Nikonov, iPi Soft’s Founder/Chief Technology Architect, says. In addition, the use of more cameras or sensors to capture the multi-actor performances minimizes tracking errors typically caused by occlusion (when body parts are not captured properly), resulting in improved tracking accuracy and reliability, as well as a faster and more accurate production process.
Its ability to analyze multi-camera (or Kinect sensors) video recordings, using standard PC desktop or laptop computers offers creative professionals a cost effective solution to track 3D human body motions and produce 3D animation. The software, which merges all of the mocap data into a single file, is used in conjunction with iPi Mocap Studio for tracking up to three actors simultaneously. With additional computers, users can add up to 16 USB cameras or four Kinect 2 or Kinect sensors. Enabled by its proprietary iPi Recorder software, the new distributed recording feature configures a single computer to record up to 8 USB cameras or a single Kinect 2 sensor.
