The next generation of Xsens: Created to move you
Introducing two new models to our software
AAA-studio quality, ready for animators
Every frame tells a story, and when movement feels real, stories come to life. We created and improved Xsens Animate to empower professionals to push the boundaries of digital animations.
With the upgraded Xsens Animate, you get female and male anatomy models and a more accurate motion engine, ensuring cleaner data from the start, making it the perfect match for the Xsens Link and Awinda.
Combined with a refreshed interface, dark mode, colored background options, and smoother workflows, Xsens Animate is built to move with you, from AAA-productions to indie pipelines.
