Motive 2.1 Beta 1July 27, 2018

New Features

• Six Rigid Body Skeleton Improved. Simplified the number of steps necessary to set up the rigid body based skeleton from to just a handful. Made a variety of improvements to the skeleton solve to achieve more realistic tracking. Added some variations to the base skeleton model including an upper body only model (with four rigid bodies).
• New UI. The process continues towards a whole new user interface by adding two new panes that help to consolidate similar functionality from throughout Motive.
  • Builder Pane - Consolidated all rigid body and skeleton creation and editing tools into one pane. Added a visual to indicate movable markers for skeleton creation. Added a simplified workflow for creating probes and HMD rigid bodies.
  • Devices Pane - Displays all devices in one location. It also now allows users to create selection sets of devices, use a more compact device list view, show/hide columns of device properties, and sort the view based on particular properties. All devices have been converted to work with the properties pane. This makes changing settings for a group of cameras much easier, and it also helps persist camera and device settings in Motive.
• New Finger Markersets. Must be used with Active Markers. We added several skeleton markersets that allow for individual finger tracking. These skeletons include both a left and right-hand model, a full skeleton model that uses the baseline skeleton, and a rigid body based skeleton with finger tracking.
• Kistler Force Plates. Added support for Kistler brand force plates in Motive.
• Improved Profiles. A variety of improvements were made to profiles. The file extension has been changed to (.motive) and that extension has been associated with Motive. You are now allowed to export a subset of the profile. This means that you can easily create profiles that only contain assets, system properties, capture sessions, or hotkeys. You may also reset a subset of Motive settings.
• Updated the file icons for the installer file, (.tak), (.cal), and (.motive) files to be more easily identifiable.
• Modified the 3D "Live/Edit" and "Active + Passive" indications in the 3D viewport to act as a toggle button to switch between different states.

Feature Enhancements

• Color Cameras. A variety of improvements were made to color camera integration with Motive.
  • Improved the video export dialog by adding more options for reducing the frame rate of the exported video, adding an option to the video exporter to overlay timecode data, and renaming some the video export options to help clarify what the options do.
  • Improved the performance and visualization of color cameras in the 2D view by automatically rendering color video data at a resolution that depends on what distance you are viewing it and automatically changing the spacing of cameras in the 2D view based on their orientation to avoid cameras from overlapping.
  • The color cameras without a filter switcher are now hidden in the 3D view by default. A "show all color cameras" option was added to the application settings for users that still want to see color cameras that cannot be calibrated into the system.
  • Automatically switch the Prime Color FS to object mode on calibration.
  • Changed the ordering of calibrated cameras to always list color cameras as the last cameras numerically to help the organization of the data pane.

Motive 2.0 Beta 1July 25, 2017

New Features

• New UI: Motive has started the process towards a whole new user interface. This not only includes nicer looking panes, but also more functional and well thought out controls. This release includes the following new and redesigned interfaces in Motive:
• Data Management Pane
• Assets Pane
• Markersets Pane
• Rigid Body Pane
• Properties Pane
• Streaming Pane
• Control Bar Pane
• Timeline Pane
• Graphs Pane
• Trackables Pane
• Measurement Pane
• About Motive Popup
• Splash Screen
• Continuous Calibration: One of the biggest new features included this release is the Continuous Calibration. This feature allows you to maintain your volume calibrated by just regularly using your volume. All it requires is there to be moving markers throughout a majority of your volume over some reasonable amount of time for enough samples to be collected (limited to certain types of volumes).
• Active Marker Tracking: Another big feature added in this release of Motive is the ability to track actively labeled markers. This uniquely identifies LED markers allowing non-unique rigid bodies with unique active labels to be tracked like regular rigid bodies. This is especially useful when trying to track lots of the same or similar object.
• Rigid Body Refine: We now allow rigid bodies to be refined. This means if you bump a marker you can recalculate the rigid body to make it fit better to its associated markers. This is particularly helpful when using rigid bodies for measurement or defining a new rigid body from a template.
• Probe Tracking: We are including the initial tools to create probes in Motive. This will allow you to set the pivot point of a rigid body to a precisely calculated location by rotating the rigid body around the probe tip. Once a probe has been created, the pivot location can be used to create virtual markers in your scene.
• Persistent Settings: We completely remade our property system. Basically, starting from this release, Motive will persist all of the software settings between each use. Part of this also includes the change to watching folders on your file system instead of keeps a list of files that are loaded; this rewards and encourages more proper file system management. The Motive project file is also being replaced by the profile file which are XML collections of properties.
• HMD Calibration: We added a new tool that places the pivot point of a rigid body in the same location as the pivot for an Oculus HMD.
• AMTI Genlock Support: Added support for Genlock synchronization with AMTI force plates. This allows AMTI force plates to keep their synchronization with Motive over long recordings with no frame drift.
• System Latency: Added new latency metrics to Motive and NatNet including the system latency which measures the time it takes for data to make it through Motive. See the wiki for more information about how these new metrics work.
• The graphs pane in Motive now allows the rigid body pivot position/orientation to be graphed in Live and Edit mode.
• Motive now has the ability to add custom marker colors and sticks to marker sets. This helps with labeling when tracking complex objects that can't use rigid bodies.
• Created a new skeleton adding finger tracking to the baseline 50 skeleton.
• Added the ability to toggle between hotkey profiles in the hotkey managers.
• Added a visual in the 3D pane for showing the current primary selection.
• Added the ability to change RB Pivot Point size.
• Added the ability to adjust the opacity of skeletons and geometry attached to rigid bodies.
• Added the ability to change the selection color in the 3D viewport.
• Added the ability to update rigid body marker location in the Motive API.
• Added ability to import shot list directly from CSV files.
• Added the ability to export analog data to CSV.
• Timecode can now be exported to FBX Binary and CSV files.

Feature Enhancements

• Gizmo Tool: The move/rotate/scale tool has been expanded to work with rigid bodies and markers. This also makes customizing rigid bodies much quicker and easier by allowing the pivot point to snap to locations determined by markers in the scene. This also allows skeletons and rigid bodies to be edited during the Live mode.
• Batch Exporting: Exporting data for a group of takes in Motive now only takes one export dialog now instead of one for each take.
• Hotkeys: A large number of available hotkeys have been added to Motive. Some examples include the ability to switch between object and video modes for cameras, one click cubic or pattern fill, select/move/rotate/scale hotkeys, view tracked/untracked rays, etc… For a list of default hotkeys, see: [Link].
• Ability to Graph Subsamples: The graphs pane now draws subsamples for force plates and NI-DAQ devices running at higher frequencies.
• Tracking Bar Issue: Improved how Motive handles the situation with small camera count (2-3) systems where two, or more, markers are positioned in the same plane. Now it has a more deterministic way of figuring out proper locations of the reconstructions among multiple ray intersections.
• New Mask Tools: Improved the masking tools in the 2D pane by adding better mask eraser tools and icons that are more understandable.
• Designed and implemented an alternate visualization of rigid bodies that have solved data (previously known as JT data).
• Follow selected now has a memory of what was selected when you started following selected.
• Changed step tangents to linear tangents in FBX Binary exporter to improve data quality.
• Added ability to remove markers from Rigid Body without marker present by selecting the assigned marker and right clicking.
• Added a "go to next unlabeled marker" button to labeling pane.

Motive 1.7 Beta 1October 17, 2014

New Features

• New calibration engine that provides much faster and more accurate camera calibrations.  Calibrations will typically take a tenth of the time required previously, can calibrate hundreds of cameras together, and yield much better marker reconstruction quality.
• Motive Batch Processor has been added, which is a specialized application for performing processing on any number of Take files. See documentation
• NMotive scripting framework and .NET assembly. This is at the heart of the Motive Batch Processor, and allows application developers to interact with core Motive functionality through C# or Python scripts that can be run independently from the Motive application.
• New on-board camera marker segmentation and circularity filtering that better separates and classifies objects in the camera's view.

• The eSync now supports several new trigger modes on its analog inputs which are configurable in Motive.
• Reconstruction settings can be saved independently and easily managed through the Reconstruction pane.

Feature Enhancements

• Improved trajectorization from both Live 3D recording and offline reconstruction. Trajectories are much more contiguous and label swapping is reduced.

• Cameras can be disabled for calibration, for cameras that may be occluded or unneeded for a particular camera or stage setup.
• Extensive review and revision of all internal and exported formats to standardize on right-handed coordinates. Left-handed coordinates are available in some exporters and data streams as an option.
• Marker Sets may now be streamed with labels during playback.
• An option has been added to disable the Aim Assist button LED on cameras, allowing cameras to go completely dark.
• The target fill marker for a Pattern Fill can be explicitly selected in the UI rather than being implicit in selection order.
• Added a new Pulse High/Low option for the eSync outputs. Now the output is configurable to either transition high/low or low/high on record start/stop, or to emit a pulse on record start/stop.
• Added ability to trigger recording in Motive via a formatted XML packet broadcast.
• Added new options for reconstruction that allow dynamic rigid body-assisted trajectorization for dense marker sets.
