Welcome to iPi Soft Wiki,
the knowledge base about iPi Desktop Motion Capture solution.
|
 |
NEW! ASUS Xtion Sensor SupportiPi Recorder now features support for ASUS Xtion sensor. Editions: Express, Basic, Standard (?) |
Single Depth Sensor Configuration iPi Soft uses its own tracking algorithms that give much better accuracy than other Kinect-based mocaps available in the market. This configuration is very easy to use, as it does not require calibration. For those who haven't had experience with mocap systems before, it is a good option to start from.
Editions: Express, Basic, Standard (?) |
Dual Depth Sensor Configuration Dual-Kinect configuration combines ease of use and flexibility of a single Kinect with power of multi-camera system. With two Kinects or ASUS Xtions animators can accurately capture complex motions including 360-degrees turns.
Editions: Basic, Standard (?)
| |
Multiple PS Eye Cameras Configuration Sony PS Eye cameras are recommended as they give very good quality of video at up to 60 fps. Other cameras like webcams or DirectShow-compatible USB or FireWire cameras may be used but are not recommended. The configuration with 3 to 6 Sony PS Eye cameras is the most powerful option. It allows you to track very complex motions in a big capture area (up to 20 by 20 feet or 7 by 7 meters).
Editions: Basic (up to 4 cams), Standard (up to 6 cams) (?)
|
iPi Studio Integrated Clean-Up and Motion Transfer iPi Studio includes integrated animation clean-up and motion transfer. So you do not necessarily need expensive third-party software like Motion Builder. These tools are included in all editions. | |
