From motion capture to objects
Maxon’s free Moves app originally captured facial and body motion on iPhone and iPad Pro through Apple ARKit 3, with data import into Cinema 4D R21. The 2021 update added Object Capture for creating textured 3D models from a guided sequence of photographs.
The app guides the operator around an object so that the required viewpoints are covered. On supported systems, the resulting asset could be transferred directly into Cinema 4D.
Requirements at release
The object workflow required macOS Monterey and Cinema 4D R25 SP1. Supported hardware comprised Apple Silicon Macs or Intel Macs with 16 GB RAM and an AMD GPU carrying at least 4 GB VRAM. These requirements reflect the original release and should be checked against the current app before production use.
Digital Production’s earlier Moves report covers the facial and body capture workflow.
