Motion Capture

After successful calibration, you are ready to begin the motion capture process in Moverse Studio. The system currently supports capturing for up to two persons, and each actor must be initialized one after the other. Below are the steps to follow.

Actor 1: Initialization and Capture

Step 1: Actor 1 Enters Capturing Space

• Have the first actor enter the designated capturing space.

The 1st actor enters the capturing space

Step 2: Start Capture

• Press the Body Calibration button .
• The user’s body will instantly appear in the 3D viewer.
• After the 3D body becomes visible, the actor must walk lightly inside the capturing space for 3-4 seconds.

The body is visible in the 3D viewer once the body solving is on

Step 3: Stabilize Capture with a Static Pose

• Have the actor hold a static pose (e.g., an A-pose) to stabilize tracking.

The actor stands in A-pose in the middle of the capturing space to initialize body tracking

• Press the Motion Tracking button to lock tracking.

If you notice an extended time period with FPS drops after this step, the body calibration process must be repeated (Step 2).

Step 4: Continuous Capturing

• The system is now ready to record full-body motion.

The actor is ready to freely perform into the capturing space

(Optional) Actor 2: Add a Second Actor

If your project involves a second person, press ”+” button and follow these extra steps after initializing Actor 1:

For adding another actor, press '+'

Step 5: Actor 2 Enters Capturing Space

• Invite the second actor into the capturing space. The first actor stays on the side.

Second actor enters the capturing space and stands in the middle.

Step 6: Start Capture for Actor 2

• Press the Body Calibration button again.
• A second body will now appear in the 3D viewer.
• After the second body becomes visible, the actor must walk lightly inside the capturing space for 3-4 seconds.

A second body appears in the 3D viewer.

Step 7: Stabilize Actor 2 with Static Pose

• Have Actor 2 stand in a static pose.
• Press the Motion Tracking button again to initialize tracking for the second actor.

The second actor stands in a static pose (e.g. A-pose).

If you notice an extended time period with FPS drops after this step, the body calibration process must be repeated (Step 6).

Step 8: Both Actors Ready for Capture

• With both actors stabilized, you can now capture dual-person motion simultaneously in the same space.

Step 9: Enable Hand Tracking and Finger Re-processing

• Activate Hand Tracking: adds hand and finger detail to the capture.
• Cloud Re-Processing: Enabling hand tracking also triggers finger re-processing in the cloud for greater fidelity.

Step 10: Re-Capturing or Switching Actors

• To reinitialize tracking or switch actors:
  • Disable Motion Tracking.
  • Have the new actor enter and assume a static pose.
  • Re-enable Motion Tracking to restart tracking for the new session.

Conclusion

The process for capturing one or two actors is nearly identical—initialize one actor at a time following the same steps. This sequential setup ensures precise calibration and tracking for both individuals. For questions or assistance, consult the troubleshooting guide or reach out to support.
