Jump to navigation Jump to search

Capture Studio is a next-generation high-precision facial capture software launched by FACEGOOD, primarily targeting enterprise-level, large-scale, multi-actor facial capture scenarios, providing motion capture teams with 24/7 uninterrupted, stable, wireless, multi-channel, real-time, recording, and motion capture-triggered facial capture capabilities.

Capture Studio

Paired with the FACEGOOD Stereo-HMC P2 binocular hardware system, this hardware system adopts the SmartUnit edge computing architecture, separating computation from control, enabling Capture Studio to be installed on any desktop computer running Windows, significantly lowering the software installation threshold. Meanwhile, based on the SmartUnit architecture, the P2 hardware system reduces the number of spare parts by 50% compared to the previous generation P1 system, making it easier to maintain and use. The SmartUnit edge computing architecture of the P2 provides ample computing power for motion capture teams, allowing for an unlimited number of synchronized actors. Capture Studio's real-time facial capture capability is outstanding, with built-in SeattleAI technology supporting real-time facial capture for actors of any ethnicity and age group, directly driving 660 blend shapes and 820 bone points of metahuman binding, with an accuracy 20 times that of ARKit. Additionally, motion capture teams can conduct AI training for their own binding systems to achieve higher precision in the end.


Note:

① Capture Studio software only supports the FACEGOOD Stereo-HMC P2 binocular hardware system at the moment. Other HMC devices cannot be controlled using Capture Studio.

② The camera of P2 is a 920nm infrared camera, which can block indoor lighting sources. However, outdoor infrared sources may interfere with the camera's operation, potentially causing overexposure in backlit conditions.

  • Adjustment criteria:
    1. Ensure the actor's facial features are clear and unobstructed.
    2. Align the center of the nose with the center of the camera.
    3. Maintain clear focus without overexposure or underexposure.

FAQ

  • Does Capture Studio support regular webcam recording or other devices?

Capture Studio only supports the FACEGOOD Stereo-HMC P2 system at the moment. Other systems cannot be controlled using Capture Studio for now.

  • What video formats does Capture Studio output?

The videos recorded with the P2 system are saved in MOV format.

  • Capture Studio supports a maximum of how many hardware devices to record simultaneously?

Based on the number of subscriptions purchased by the user, a specified number of synchronous recording capabilities will be provided.

  • Does it support motion capture synchronized triggering?

YES. Capture Studio natively supports synchronous triggering for Xsens, Optitrack, and Vicon, eliminating the need to purchase third-party motion capture software. Additionally, Capture Studio is compatible with third-party motion capture triggering software such as PeelCapture.

  • Dark image of the P2 recording?

Adjust the brightness and contrast settings within Capture Studio to maintain the principle of keeping the face bright while keeping the surroundings darker.
