CaptiveMotion Inc Announces a Significant Advancement in Performance Capture Technology

CaptiveMotion Inc Announces a Significant Advancement in Performance Capture Technology

TEMPE, Ariz., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- After years of development, CaptiveMotion Inc announces the release of Embody, its proprietary performance capture software service. Tracking over 750 markers during its latest application, Embody demonstrated unprecedented facial performance capture. Embody delivers lifelike facial simulation on the fully human side of the "Uncanny Valley." CaptiveMotion is a service studio for the film, commercial, gaming and eLearning industries.

Embody represents a significant advancement in technology while fitting efficiently into production pipelines. With a theoretical capture limit of 10,000 markers and a flexible capture volume, Embody from CaptiveMotion enables a level of detail not currently available.

Motion capture is the recording of real-life objects, animals or people and digitizing their movements into a computerized format. As a mature technology, motion capture is used in applications from industrial design to computer gaming and Hollywood movies. In comparison, performance capture is the next step in capturing not only basic movement but the more subtle, emotional talents of an actor.

Embody delivers a complete service. There is no purchasing of equipment, build-outs or training. Pre-technical requirements such as bone rigs and morph targets are not required. The majority of post-production work is performed by CaptiveMotion's three-step error correction and re-targeting procedures.

When interviewed about the release of Embody, CaptiveMotion's president Adam Kraver said, "Certainly the level of technical detail is very exciting, but more important is the plug-and-play aspect of our service. Pre-production requirements are reduced, the production pipeline is fast and post-production clean-up is gone. Prior to CaptiveMotion this complicated and mysterious technology was locked in the basement of a few select studios. We have made it cost-effective, efficient and available to everyone."
