What’s New

• Record both skeletal and face data from more than one sensor at a time
• FBX files now include facial animation unit properties with the ‘Head’ node for use with morph targets/blendshapes
• The 3D Overlay now supports foreground (subject only) segmentation
• NCV (nuiCapture Video) files can now be directly loaded without the need of an NCS (nuiCapture Session) file

nuiCapture Animate

nuiCapture Animate is targeted towards the 3D animation and visual effects professional and enthusiast looking to collect high quality motion capture data at a low cost. Capture skeletal and facial motion data in real-time without the need of markers using Kinect sensors. From multiple sensors, you can also synchronously record depth, color, and audio data that is aligned with the motion data. Then export the motion data to popular file formats such as BVH and FBX. nuiCapture Animate also supports export of depth and color data to OpenEXR image sequences and AVI video files.

nuiCapture Analyze

nuiCapture Analyze provides all of the features included in nuiCapture Animate in addition to export of all Kinect sensor data to Matlab. This software is targeted for users who are interested in performing computational analysis on the motion, depth, color, and audio data. nuiCapture Analyze also comes with example Matlab scripts and a comprehensive help section to help you understand how to process and visualize the data.

What’s New

• Generates FBX and BVH files only for skeletal and face channels that have atleast one tracked frame
• Fixed floor offset in FBX and BVH Export
• Fixed face location in the presence of skeletal data in FBX and BVH Export
• Allows changing the color and depth image format during a live face tracking preview

What’s New

• 3D face tracking
• FBX export
• OpenEXR export
• Added support for both near (0.4 – 3 meters) and standard (0.8 – 4 meters) depth ranges
• Added support for both standing (full body) and seated (upper body) skeletal tracking modes
• Added floor contact of skeletons in BVH motion files
• An updated DepthFrameToColorFrameMapping structure is now provided in each MAT file

What’s New

• Added BVH compatibility with Character Studio (CS) and Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) in 3DS Max
• Added the skeleton’s ClippedEdges variable to the Matlab output
• Fixed window docking manager bugs

What’s New

• BVH export (tested in Autodesk 3D Studio Max and MotionBuilder)
• Export and visualization of NCS files do not require a sensor to be connected to PC
• Improved playback and seeking performance
• Improved navigation within 3D Overlay
• Improved Matlab export (added bone orientations and several other variables)
• Added floor and sensor location to 3D overlay
• Improved 3D data preview
• Added options to smooth joint positions and bone orientations
• Added ability to modify capture and export frame rates
• Added sample Matlab scripts to read in and visualize data

What’s New

• Significantly improved the Graphical User Interface (GUI)

What’s New

• Improved the audio/visual synchrony
• Improved the cross-sensor synchrony
