So far we're providing two suits with the case

Case and Content

The case contains everything you need to capture humanoid full body performances. So far we're offering two different sized suits. The smaller one has been used by people exceeding the recommended dimensions though it's not recommended to do so.

The Sensors

There should be 18 sensors in the case. 17 are essential to get the capturing process started at all. Those are the following:

Upper Body

  • 1 x Head
  • 1 x Stern
  • 3 x Left Shoulder
  • 1 x Left Hand
  • 3 x Right Shoulder
  • 1 x Right Hand

Lower Body

  • 1 x Pelvis
  • 3 x Right Leg
  • 3 x Left Leg

Before using this suit there are a couple of things to take into consideration. Not all the information on their support page is up to date and changes happen constantly to the interface of the software provided with the suit.

Installing the Software
