• Get Your Moves On!
• With Moves by Maxon for iPhone and iPad, users can capture facial and full-body movement or scan 3D objects for integration into Cinema 4D. The application offers a seamless transition of real-world objects and movements into the realm of 3D modeling.

• Object Capture
• Utilizing photogrammetry, object capture in Moves by Maxon is a straightforward process. By strategically photographing objects from various angles under adequate lighting, users can effortlessly import them into Cinema 4D. For optimal outcomes, it is recommended to begin with simple objects such as small toys or desktop sculptures.
• Note - Object Capture is solely compatible with Cinema 4D 2023 and later versions running on macOS Monterey.

• Facial Motion Capture
• Face Capture enables users to record facial expressions using an iPhone or iPad camera. The interface mimics capturing a selfie video, with the app rendering a moving 3D model in real-time from the recorded data. This functionality allows for the creation of intricate facial animations in Cinema 4D without any prior expertise. Interested in learning more? Explore our tutorials on www.cineversity.com.

• Body Motion Capture
• Moves by Maxon facilitates recording full-body movements through its interactive interface, which combines recording capabilities with Apple ARKit technology. The resulting animated 3D "skeleton" overlay provides a visual aid for evaluating recorded movements. Following data importation into Cinema 4D, users can effortlessly refine their projects to incorporate their personalized moves.
• Please note: Capturing body motion necessitates preparation due to being a newly integrated feature of Apple's ARKit. As such, attention to detail during capture is key to ensuring favorable results.

• Contrast Matters
• To optimize capture quality, it is advised that individuals stand out from the background. Wearing contrasting clothing to the backdrop enhances visibility, with form-fitting attire yielding superior results over loose garments. Strident patterns should be avoided to ensure optimal clarity.

• Don't Move Too Fast
• To mitigate motion blur issues, it is recommended to avoid swift movements during recording. Rapid motions can lead to blurred outlines that are challenging to interpret accurately within the application, thus impacting the final output quality.

• Avoid Overlapping
• To avoid disruptions in movement interpretation during capture, individuals should refrain from overlapping limbs or performing intricate motions that may confuse Moves by Maxon's analysis capabilities. Smooth and distinct movements aid in generating precise recordings for subsequent editing in Cinema 4D.
• Cinema 4D is essential for processing captured movement data, and Moves by Maxon is pre-equipped with connectivity features for streamlined integration. For those without Cinema 4D access, a trial version can be acquired at www.maxon.net.
