Motion LIVE Features
Capture and View Live Performances
Motion LIVE enables motion actors and others in the room to view the capture on any 3D character in realtime. Motion actors and directors have the ability to see and respond to the performance and better impersonate cg characters they are portraying.
Synchronous Full-body Motion Capture for Face, Body & Hands
Motion LIVE is a head-to-toe motion capture solution that supports industry-standard mocap technology. Connect popular gear with a few clicks to capture from multiple devices, controlling single or multiple characters in realtime. Since the success of Perception Neuron Mocap Plug-in in 2016 and Faceware Facial Mocap Plug-in in 2017. Reallusion adds partner technologies from Leap Motion, Xsens, Rokoko, Apple and Optitrack in 2018 to provide a total full-body mocap system.
Motion Capture for Multiple Characters
The iClone Motion LIVE interface makes characters selectable and assignable to motion actors. Control multiple-character performance with a single motion actor or use multiple motion actors to capture performances for multiple characters. iClone Motion LIVE can capture as many motion actors as are tracking, simultaneously with realtime rendering of the characters’ animation.
Body Motion Capture Gear for Live Animation
The Xsens MVN Link and MVN Awinda smoothly integrate with Motion LIVE delivering industry-proven, reliable body motion capture data. In tandem with Motion LIVE’s integrated mocap functions, Xsens is a trustworthy virtual production system, which allows professional studios to capture every critical moment and always perform with results in time sensitive events.
“Xsens integrates with all major software packages including iClone and we are looking forward to see our customers working with the new iClone Motion LIVE to optimize their live animation pipeline.” – Remco Sikkema, Xsens
Animate Characters from Forearms to Fingers
The Leap Motion Controller’s accurate hand tracking technology is a small USB device with big tracking power placed on the desktop or mounted on the forehead. Users instantly turn a desktop into an unprecedented hand capture station with gear that everyone can own.
“The Leap Motion Controller delivers accurate hand tracking to iClone Motion Live. Hand tracking is essential for any motion capture system, enabling robust character interaction and further conveying emotion.” – Angela Jacob Bermudo, Head of Communications, Leap Motion.
Import Custom 3D Characters
The iClone character pipeline can import a rigged FBX and prepare the character for motion capture and animation in iClone.
