Do better Maxon

I expect more from part of a service most of us are paying over $1000 a year for to use. If this was a “toy” app i can understand it rarely syncing to C4D and crashing when trying to export anything more than 15 seconds. Clearly they must not maintain this app and have no plans on improving it. This app has so much potential I really wish they would develop it accordingly.

Half Donkey app…

Really wanted to give it 5 stars but its missing the most crucial piece. Exporting!!! There is no easy way to transfer these files to Cinema4D. Cinema4D 2024 doesnt have the extension in the app. What a shame. Two thumbs down.

Broken

Does not work on front facing camera anymore

Cinema 4d companion

This is pretty great for quickly capturing some rough motion. Try it on your dog!

Works now!

It works again! What has it been like a year? And that’s on an iPhone 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max! Well yes, it works again, thank you Maxon - that at least is a starting point. Very happy to be capturing full body again, they just need to smooth it out now. Still needs a lot of key reductions to not appear jerky, and has trouble any time you cross your arms in front of your body. Also, seems to be ‘anchored’ to your mid-waist, leaving your feet floating around; if they could get feet planted on the ground somehow it’d be much much better! But, still, for now I’m happy I can use it again :)

FAQ

What can I do with Moves by Maxon?

Moves by Maxon allows you to capture facial expressions, full-body movements, and scan 3D objects using your iPhone or iPad. This captured data can then be imported into Cinema 4D to create animated 3D models and scenes.

What are the system requirements for Moves by Maxon?

The app is available on the iOS App Store for iPhones and iPads running iOS 15.0 and later. Object Capture requires Cinema 4D 2023 or later on macOS Monterey.

How does facial motion capture work?

Facial motion capture is as simple as recording a selfie video. The app uses this capture data to generate a moving 3D model in real-time, which can be transferred to Cinema 4D for animation without prior experience.

What is needed for good body motion capture results?

For optimal body motion capture, ensure the person being captured stands out from the background (e.g., dark clothes on a light background). Wear fitted clothing without extreme patterns, and avoid moving too fast to prevent motion blur.

Is Moves by Maxon free to use?

The app is available for free download. However, the description mentions in-app purchases, suggesting some features or advanced functionalities might require payment.
