Motion Capture solutions that capture motion without the use of cameras or optical sensors is a revolutionary technology. It is important that innovation is followed by quality, but when it comes to Xsens systems, it is an unrivaled product.
Xsens is a mobile motion capture system, using sensors placed all over the body (17 pieces). Xsens suit records the movement of an actor, which allows you to finish animation much faster than when building it from scratch. This gives us a very good basis for expanding the animation, and also speeds up and facilitates the whole process. Xsens offers a mobile system and recording sessions can be used in virtually any place, not only in expensive, specially prepared rooms with cameras. In this system, we have a live preview of the entire motion animation, which facilitates the work of the screenwriter and actor dressed in Xsens solutions.
It can be used even in very difficult external conditions:
For example, we have conducted demonstrations for clients during the PGA fair. There is a lot of other equipment, interference and crowds of people in a closed area. Even connecting the controller wirelessly to the console is quite a challenge. Under these conditions, Xsens worked without any problems and performed brilliantly.

The Xsens system has 2 versions of the program: MVN Animate PLUS and MVN Animate Pro. The differences between them are small, but the PRO version gives more possibilities and greatly facilitates the process of recording and creating ready-made animations.

The MVN Animate program itself allows you to operate the system, but to get even better effects and quality of the animation itself, we can opt for the PRO version. Both variants (PLUS/PRO) have the ability to stream live to programs such as Motion Builder, Maya, Unreal, Unity:
Autodesk MayaThis program is gaining more and more recognition. It becomes a leader in the graphics market. Work in Maya is, above all, fast, intuitive, and at the same time accurate. It is a great tool for broadly understood graphics, visualization, modeling, animation and rendering. |

Autodesk MotionBuilderA professional program focusing on creating character animations and creating facial expressions. It has implemented support for motion capture technology, thanks to which producers can create natural animations based on this technology. |
Both MVN Animate PLUS and MVN Animate PRO can be available in two hardware options:
MVN Awinda | MVN Link | |
Type of outfit | Wristbands with sensors | Lycra suits in 5 sizes |

A more expensive but more accurate option is MVN Link, which has:
All this without interrupting the recording – just to fit in 10 minutes.
MVN Link is recommended for dynamic recordings, because in this solution the sensors are not able to move during extreme performances.
