Partner testimonials

"Thanks to the simplicity of the Xsens motion capture suits and set-up we could easily capture the fight choreography, get into our rigs, and then start working with cameras in Maya to deliver an early cut."

Scott Meadows

Head of Visualization and Virtual Production at Digital Domain

"My team of animators and I have taken the Xsens motion capture system home. We’ve had to do a lot of mocap in our living room, and the on-body recording also allows us to capture performance in the other parts of the house, like the hallways and stairs, when we need to record climbing or running.”

Han Yang

CG Supervisor at Method Studios

"…You definitely need a system which is not only robust and dependable but something that is also quite portable and mobile. Whether it’s running three concurrent characters, delivering dramatic dialogue for a video game cutscene, or high-dynamic stunts in fight scenes – on-set or on-location – we’ve done it all.”

Dave Fialla

Director and Co-founder of The Mocap Studio

"One thing that I’m really proud of is that we completed around 400 shots within just 6 months with a small team, but we didn’t have to do any kind of overtime – not a single minute! Using this motion capture is definitely one of the reasons why we were able to give the artists part of their lives back.”

Incorporate your surroundings

Natural features of an environment – such as trees, buildings, hills and valleys – can become part of your visual production. Users wearing an Xsens motion capture suit can interact with their surroundings in ways they never could before. Both small and large VFX studios can record how an actor interacts with real locations, from their head to their toes.

Big productions in little time

With clean full-body motion capture and data, you can achieve accurate results in just one take, saving you hours of time and freeing you up to concentrate on other parts of your production.
