What’s new:

• Ability to seamlessly loop animation on export.

• Compatibility with NVIDIA AR SDK 0.8.7 (along with former version 0.8.2).
• Support of GeForce RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards for AI features.

Also, the release includes bug fixes and other improvements. For more information and download links visit Release notes.

What’s new:

• Calibration for depth sensors based on AI-detected joints instead of flashlight or flat board. This substantially simplifies calibration process

What’s new:

Calibration for RGB cameras based on AI-detected joints added.

We’ve been working hard to utilize AI tracking for calibration process and we managed to implement simplified calibration workflow for RGB cameras. You now have option to use human joints detected by AI algorithms as markers instead of flashlight.

This also made possible calibration based on action video itself, without the necessity to record dedicated calibration video. Of course, there are certain limitations, but generally the calibration workflow for RGB cameras becomes much easier.

What’s new:

• AI-based Tracking with Auto-recover option feature added. It allows to automatically detect and fix tracking errors with the help of AI-based tracking.
• [BUG fix] Rare AI-based tracking crashes in some cases.
• [BUG fix] Fixed crashing on project closing when Pose Mismatch view mode is on.
• [BUG fix] Project recording with Real-time Tracking for Live Preview could not open.

What’s new:

• Trajectory filtering for AI poses that improves overall AI-based Tracking quality.
• Interpolation of AI poses missed due to misdetections that improves overall AI-based Tracking quality.

What’s new:

• Detect Pose (AI) now sets head, feet poses and hands orientation if Track or Track (AI-Based) tracking option selected.
• Improved quality of Detect Pose (AI) for arms, legs and feet.
• Set realistic arm and leg twists in Detect Pose (AI) (formerly set zero twists).
• Ensure from enormous arm twists in jitter removal, Detect Pose (AI).

Bug fixes:

• Trajectory filtering was not applied after AI-based tracking.
• AI-based feet tracking sometimes returned invalid pose that led to crash.
• Rare crashes in trajectory filtering, jitter removal related to AI-based tracking.

For the past year our dev team’s been busy working hard on the new version that has just come out. We experimented a lot with recently introduced AI-based tracking algorithms and find effective way to use them for high-accurate full-body motion capture we master in since 2008.

Despite all the hype around AI algorithms they have not only widely advertised advantages, but also their limitations. If we talk about human motion capture, the major one is that AI algorithms that guess based on numerous movement patterns contained in training datasets, cannot track well unique / rare / complex motions. So we combined AI tracking with our proprietary high-accurate algorithms that find pose that best match actual input data, to make the tracking pipeline easier, faster and add more features without the need for accuracy trade-off.

We have released updates and fixes for editing of motion transfer profiles.
What’s new:

• Improvements in UI for editing of motion transfer profile:
  • Check that no duplicate targets used when updating a symmetric bone mapping.
  • Update a symmetric bone when adding/removing a target bone.
  • Enabled the “(Unused)” item in the combo list.
• Fixes in editing of motion transfer profile:
  • Fixed crash when trying to select an already used target bone in the viewport.
  • Fixed inability to map symmetric bone when it can’t be assigned automatically.
  • Fixed an error when reading swing/twist weights from an XML file.
