Rokoko betting on the creator economy

with their new Smartsuit Pro II
 

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — October 27th — Rokoko today announced the launch of the Smartsuit Pro II, the next generation of the widely popular Smartsuit Pro -- a motion capture suit for independent creators. The mocap suit enables anyone to animate characters in real-time, at studio-quality, via a simple wifi connection to their computer running our free Rokoko Studio software. Creators can record, clean and edit the data in seconds, and stream it live into dozens of tools including Unreal, Unity, Blender, Maya, and iClone for instantaneous feedback. Pre-order opens today for January 2022 delivery, retailing at $2745.
 

“We’ve spoken with thousands of our users to identify what matters most and I’m confident that Smartsuit Pro II is improved on the points that add the most value for them and take their motion capture to the next level,” says Jakob Balslev, CEO and Founder of Rokoko. “Reducing drift, allowing for more high impact tracking, and unlocking multi-level tracking might not mean a lot to the outside world, but will mean the world to our users.” Re-engineered for Richer Animations
 

Setting up the Smartsuit Pro II is effortless and the suit can be used anywhere. As the next generation of the Smartsuit Pro, the Smartsuit Pro II features impressive performance upgrades to enhance characters with richer movement, while speeding up the entire animation workflow.
 

Key performance upgrades include:

• Ready for Multi-Level Tracking, so you can track elevation movement on stairs, ladders, and along the y-axis.

• Optimized for high impact use so punching, fighting, and falling doesn’t compromise data quality.

• Better locomotion accuracy over time, catering for a significant reduction in drift, meaning more reliable and longer streaming times.

• Native integration into the Rokoko Smartgloves, so only one portable USB-C battery is required to power your entire motion capture system.

Pricing & Availability

The Smartsuit Pro II is available worldwide on Rokoko (www.rokoko.com) for $2745 or €2745. Rokoko Studio is available for free download from www.rokoko.com/studio for both Mac and Windows. All products have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

Quotes from Jakob, CEO and Founder:

“Although we have many of the world’s biggest studios as customers, more than 60% of our user base is made up by one-man-army creators. There’s no better feeling than enabling them to punch above their weight.”

“We’re seeing how more and more of the emerging creators that use our tools are starting to live off their own channels in the booming creator economy. We want to stand shoulder to shoulder with them on that journey.”

“Early on we had to make some guesses when developing features and products. Now with more than 30,000 users, we can see exactly what will create the most value. The choices we made when developing Smartsuit Pro II is a direct reflection of what our users have asked us to focus on.”

“The pandemic forced us all to work from home, which is what our tools were built for. That has resulted in massive growth for us as a company, and we’re seeing how our users are actually staying in their new home studios rather than going back to the offices now that things open up again. They’ve discovered that motion capture should be accessible anywhere, at any time.”

“Every day we’re seeing new use cases of our tools. Especially the rapidly growing segment of “internet creators” who are just finding such creative ways to tell their stories. We’re proud to be their tool of choice.”
