IPi Mocap Version 4 currently includes the real-time tracking feature for a single depth sensor only. Live tracking results can then be stored to disk for additional offline post-processing, such as tracking refinement (to improve tracking accuracy), manual corrections and jitter removal to provide end users with an accurate, flexible and efficient workflow. This allows users to see how the motion will look on a 3D character and improve motion accordingly at the time of acting and recording, without the need to redo multiple iterations of acting, recording and offline tracking. The new real-time tracking feature in Version 4 uses i Pi Recorder, a free software provided by iPi Soft for capturing, play back and processing video records from multiple cameras and depth sensors, to communicate to iPi Mocap Studio software, that tracks in real-time speed and instantly transfers motion to 3D characters. “The combination of real-time tracking, expanded support for the latest in depth sensor technology and wide-angle action camera compatibility in Version 4 elevates the content creation experience for high-end film, television and games customers where a fast and reliable workflow is essential.”īenefits of iPi Motion Capture Version 4 Real Time Tracking: “We are delighted to introduce real-time tracking feedback in Version 4 that allows users to preview the motion tracking result transferred to 3D characters at the time of performance,” Michael Nikonov, iPi Soft founder and chief technology architect, said.

With Version 4, iPi Soft also introduces a perpetual license model. Other new features and enhancements in Version 4 include support for new depth sensors (Intel RealSense D415 / D435, ASUS Xtion2 and Orbbec Astra/ Astra Pro) improved arms and body tracking and support for action cameras such as GoPro and SJCAM.
