Needs the original Kinect sensor: you can pick up econd-hand units cheaply The source code on which the software is based has been online since 2017, but the new 1.0 release makes it available as a compiled Windows binary, and implements a true 360-degree capture field.

While the original Kinect hasn’t been sold since 2015, and the entire Kinect consumer product line was discontinued in 2017, it’s still possible to find second-hand units: they currently sell on eBay for around $20.Ĭapture full-body motion capture data in BVH format using up to four Kinect sensors Originally intended as a gaming controller, Microsoft’s Kinect motion sensor quickly became the tool of choice for many indie artists looking for a low-cost motion capture system on its release in 2010.īoth iPi Soft and Jasper Brekelmans released commercial mocap tools based around the hardware: Brekelmans still has a free version available to download. Kinect Mocap Toolkit for Windows enables artists to use Kinect for Xbox 360 sensors – it doesn’t work with the Kinect v2, as it uses the third-party NiTE SDK – to record mocap data in BVH format.Īlthough the software supports up to four sensors out of the box, Mesh Online says that three is usually sufficient, including for fairly demanding use cases like capturing dance moves.

The system doesn’t require manual calibration or any complex set-up work: according to the instructions, once the sensors are connected properly, the only other step is to wrap a piece of light-coloured cloth around one knee so that the software knows which leg is which. You can find sample data generated by the software and user feedback in the comments to this story on BlenderNation, which dates back to the time of the original source code release. Kinect Mocap Toolkit for Windows is available free for Windows 7+ as both source code and compiled binaries. It works with Kinect for Xbox 360 sensors. Mesh Online says that there are no plans to port the project to macOS or Linux, but it should be possible to compile from the old source code on GitHub, which was actually developed for macOS.New Version Can Also Track Three Actors SimultaneouslyĪffordable, markerless mocap technology just got a little more interesting. Moscow-based iPi Soft has released an updated version of its mocap software aimed at television, film and gaming animators and VFX artists that now supports up to 16 USB cameras, like Sony's PlayStation Eye Camera, and up to four Microsoft Kinect 2 sensors.
Long compatible with leading 3D software like Maxon Cinema 4D and Autodesk Maya, MotionBuilder and 3D Max, iPi Motion Capture is also an affordable option for previs and virtual cinematography. But can you really get accurate motion-capture from little PS3 cameras and Kinect sensors? Don't you need to at least start with a decent HD camera? “That is true for marker-based systems, but for markerless mocap solutions like ours, high resolution is not that crucial," says Michael Nikonov, iPi Soft’s Founder/Chief Technology Architect. "Inexpensive USB cameras or Kinect sensors can achieve the same accuracy at a fraction of the cost of a marker-based system.” The new software can also track three actors simultaneously, a boon for animators and developers looking to more accurately capture group and team activity such as sports and dance moves and fight sequences.

In addition to the expanded recording possibilities, highlights of the new version include reduced occlusion for more reliable and accurate tracking and a much more flexible workflow that lets artists build mocap systems with their existing PC laptop or desktop computer or, when capturing synchronized video, several laptops and desktops in tandem during the same mocap session. The tool's proprietary iPi Recorder software configures a single computer to record up to eight USB cameras or one Kinect 2 sensor.
Add more base computers and you can daisy-chain up to 16 USB cameras or four Kinect 2 or Kinect sensors-the software combines it all into a single file.
