motiveMotive 3.4 Beta 1

Motive software releases with the latest features. These releases may be unstable while in the Beta phase and unrecommended for use in production environments.

Motive 3.4 adds new features and enhances existing capabilities to make data capture and post-production better for everyone.


Actors can now complete a range of motion routine that improves bone placement relative to their real-world movement. Together with added spine segments, this yields a more lifelike, production-ready skeleton.


The Camera SDK has also seen major improvements by supporting both Ubuntu and Fedora distros of Linux with a new easy-to-use sample application and code. Learn more about Motive 3.4 Beta 1
