What version of Maya do I need and which operating system should I be using?

We support all Maya versions from 2016 to 2019. The operating systems we recommend are Windows 10 with iTunes installed, MacOS HighSierra or later and Linux with Centos 7.4 (wifi connection only).

Does the MocapX plugin work with any Maya rig?

Generally speaking, yes! You can connect MocapX data directly to your rig controller or use PoseLib to drive multiple controllers on your rig. We provide demos as well as a tutorials and other useful information.

What are sliders and joysticks?

Sliders and joysticks are available in the free version of the MocapX app and allow you to control objects and attributes in real time in Maya. You can record live action sequences and save them as animation clips for later use – for example, you can animate a car or plane just by rotating your iPhone.

Do you support Android devices?

The Android version of MocapX is in the works and is coming soon.

Please be aware that for the Android version, you will have to use a device with similar technology to Apple’s True depth camera (Infrared + dot projector).

Google Pixel 4 looks like a good fit for now.

Any plans for supporting real-time mocap in Unity and UE4?

We support only Maya real-time facial motion capture with our Maya plug-in and PoseLib editor. The Unity plug-in for live mocap will come in 2Q 2020 and Unreal connection in late 2020.

What is the difference between buying additional minutes and PRO version?

With PRO version you can both stream to Maya in real-time and record a clip locally for later use in Maya (the clip length is limited only by available storage on your device). The basic version includes 30 seconds of free local recording and you can buy additional minutes up to 45 minutes. With basic version you are not able to stream facial expression to Maya directly. However you can test the connection with your pc and Maya using keypads and sliders.

Where in the app do I find the history of purchases?

History of purchases can be found only in your AppStore account.

Are minutes transferable to different device?

Currently no. Your purchase is tied to Apple ID and to device where the purchase was done.
