Move Genesis is a paid, on-premise markerless motion-capture system for professional studios and production pipelines.
What Move Genesis is
Move Genesis is a paid, on-premise markerless motion-capture system for professional studios and production pipelines. It uses multiple camera feeds and local Nvidia GPUs to identify human key points in 2D views and reconstruct movement in 3D. Genesis supports real-time pre-visualisation and a one-click post-processing solve. The listed capacity is up to eight actors, 240 fps, 4K video, six to 12 cameras, and unlimited processing. Move recommends at least six Z CAM E2-M4 Mark II cameras, while Genesis can also process RGB or grayscale feeds from many Vicon or OptiTrack cameras using their calibration. Peel Capture handles camera setup, triggering, video preparation, and shoot-file management. Supported outputs include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, and JSON. The system runs locally and generally needs no internet connection after installation. Requirements include Nvidia GPUs, Ubuntu 24.04 with driver 580, 64 GB RAM, and NVMe storage. Pricing is by contact, and processing requires a license requested through the application.
