Shōgun
CAPTURE ANY PERFORMANCE AT EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCTION
Shōgun is Vicon's flagship motion capture software for VFX, virtual production, and game development. One license includes three powerful components: Shōgun Live for real-time capture, Shōgun Post for post-production flexibility, and full Retargeting capabilities.
REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE CAPTURE
Shōgun Live delivers the highest quality optical motion data in real-time. With high-fidelity finger tracking supporting complex hand gestures like sign language, real-time retargeting directly into game engines without third-party software, and 4K SDI video camera calibration with overlay, your performances are production-ready as you shoot.
MARKERLESS MOTION CAPTURE
Shōgun Markerless uses machine learning to track multiple performers without suits or markers, enabling instant visualization and rapid prototyping. Creative teams can rehearse, block, and develop character performances during pre-production by capturing unmarked performers alongside marked props.
POWERFUL POST-PRODUCTION
Shōgun Post provides automatic gap filling, data assessment, full retargeting pipeline direct onto character FBX, and is fully scriptable using Python or HSL. The innovative gap list feature and auto-skeleton functionality give you complete control over your solving subjects.
Valkyrie
THE MOST POWERFUL MOTION CAPTURE CAMERA EVER
Valkyrie is Vicon's flagship camera, offered in four configurations to suit different production needs: resolution, speed, value, and strobeless operation. Designed for professional studios demanding the highest fidelity tracking data.
Vanguard
MADE FOR MARKERLESS
Vanguard is the only camera purpose-built for the quality and performance demands of real-time markerless motion capture. It's designed specifically to work with Shōgun Markerless for seamless marker-free capture workflows.
Virtual Production
Vicon's virtual production pipeline brings together industry-leading tracking of both rigid objects and full-body subjects, allowing users to track film and video cameras alongside highly realistic digital characters — including fingers and face — all within the Shōgun platform.
From VR scouting and full-body performance capture to green screen and in-camera VFX, Vicon supports the complete virtual production workflow. The system delivers sub-pixel accurate overlay of CG layers on film plates, with support for multiple lens calibrations that dynamically blend using lens encoders.
Vicon systems are trusted by leading studios worldwide including Disney, Pixar, ILM, Epic Games, Ubisoft, EA, Square Enix, and Gearbox. From blockbuster film franchises to AAA game titles, Vicon's motion capture technology has been at the heart of entertainment innovation since day one.
