Motion Capture Purchasing Guide
Buying a Motion Capture System?
The secrets that mocap manufacturers don’t want you to know…
So it’s time to upgrade your in house tech in order to produce more for less, and in the same time frame. You may be looking to modernise your current Mocap rig or need to get your hands on the latest tech in order to satisfy you and your clients needs.
The biggest question you’re likely to ask is, “Should I Invest in Motion Capture?”
Here are some insider secrets …
Costs Have Fallen
As the cost of computer technology, and components has fallen, so has the cost of motion capture technology. Despite these cost reductions very few manufacturers are willing to pass them along.
This is because there are very few manufacturers of Motion Capture systems, and price can be dictated by supply and demand.
Top Tip
If your supplier’s prices haven’t come down over the last 12 months you are probably getting a bad deal.
Make sure you always look at more than one system.
Tech Is Over Specified
Most Mocap Manufacturers have a very limited product range – and the danger with that is that they don’t have a product which is exactly right for your needs and your budget.
Many clients we speak to have had a system recommended to them by another supplier that is over-specified -and therefore over-priced – for what they need.
Animazoo can help you identify your needs from the beginning, and with the widest range of motion capture systems available on the market; we can provide you with the right product, at the right spec and at the lowest price.
Top Tip
Make sure you aren’t paying for features that you will almost never use.
If we don’t give you what you need take the quote to another supplier and use it to get a lower price.

The Myth of Clean Data
No matter how expensive the system, and what the adverts say, all motion capture data requires some level of cleaning. Animazoo offers the cleanest raw data in the market.
Top Tip
Make sure you get sample data from any supplier first.
This will help you understand what processing it will need to go through before it is useable in your pipelines.
