AAA-studio quality, ready for animators
Every frame tells a story, and when movement feels real, stories come to life. We created and improved Xsens Animate to empower professionals to push the boundaries of digital animations.
With the upgraded Xsens Animate, you get female and male anatomy models and a more accurate motion engine, ensuring cleaner data from the start, making it the perfect match for the next-generation Xsens Link and Awinda.
Combined with a refreshed interface, dark mode, colored background options, and smoother workflows, Xsens Animate is built to move with you, from AAA-productions to indie pipelines.
Less time cleaning up data, more time creating
Precision motion engine
Capture true-to-life motion with our new female and male anatomy models, plus enhanced spine dynamics and proportions for realism with less post-processing. Xsens leads the way as the first inertial mocap provider to offer native female and male models, tailored for truer motion and faster workflows.
Cleaner data, faster workflows
Capture accurate, production-ready motion data right from the start. Save time on cleanup so you can focus on performance and your creative process.
Redesigned interface
Navigate with ease thanks to our modernized UI, intuitive controls, colored background options for easy chroma keying or aesthetic preference, and dark mode for those working long hours in any lighting environment.
Made for your pipeline
Whether you're in previs, VFX, game development, virtual or live production, Xsens Animate integrates smoothly into your workflow for you to scale, whether you are an Indie or AAA-studio.
Effortless setup with Awinda
We made the lives of Awinda users easier by implementing Auto Sensor Mapping (experimental feature) for faster, flexible setups. This experimental feature enables any sensor can go on any designated spot. Test it out for yourself!
