Moven is a perfect tool for game developers looking for flexibility. Lifelike character animations are created quickly and easily in any situation, for use in intro/outro sequences, cut scenes and in-game moves.
Moven makes motion capture as simple as using any plug-and-play device: install the software, plug in the hardware and the system is up and running. Set-up time is less than 10 minutes. Moven can even be operated by the actor himself, no assistance is needed in the calibration procedure or in the recording session. The software (Moven Studio) gives a real-time view of the actor and offers the opportunity to evaluate recorded motions by playing from any required angle in normal, fast and slow motion.
Moven Studio
provides a data format which is compatible with all major 3D content creation
software such as 3ds Max, Maya, MotionBuilder, Softimage|XSI or Lightwave 3D.
Gearbox, one of the world’s leading independent video game developers, has selected Moven as their new motion capture system. “Xsens has achieved something special with Moven”, said PJ Putnam, Vice President of Gearbox. “Moven allows us to record motion capture data for any application in its natural environment, whether indoors or outdoors. An actor who plays a soldier can wear the Moven suit underneath his military attire, which results in more realistic motions. By using two Moven systems we can capture multiple actors simultaneously in a fighting or combat scene. Moven does not suffer from problems of occlusion and missing markers which we find in the existing (optical) motion capture technologies. Besides, the price is substantially lower than that of an optical system.”
