What it is

iPi Mocap Studio analyzes recordings made with iPi Recorder to track an actor’s movement and produce skeleton animation for humanlike characters. It accepts multi-camera or depth-sensor video and includes motion cleanup, refinement, jitter removal, trajectory filtering, and manual finger-pose keyframing. Character import and animation export support FBX, BVH, Collada, DMX, and SMD. Basic and Pro editions can stream poses to Unity projects through supplied C# scripts. Pro adds multi-person tracking, multiple-GPU support, and batch processing. The 30-day trial includes Basic features, but animation export and live preview stop being available afterward. AI tracking requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and a compatible NVIDIA RTX or Quadro RTX GPU; documented AI features cover single-actor color-video projects. Licenses use online activation, one computer at a time, and an offline option is documented. The software runs on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. The listed Biomech Add-on costs $245 a month.
