Here you can find history of recent versions of iPi Mocap Studio.
iPi Mocap Studio has built-in auto update functionality. Auto update feature is configured so that checks for update are made once per day. It helps to reduce the start time of the application. If you want to update ASAP — you can use the Help > Check for Update menu item.
Note that both of these features require Internet connection. Alternatively (in case of troubles with auto update), you can download and run the updated installation program from direct link.

B U G F I X E S:
- UI freezing when in the Pose Mismatch mode under certain conditions.
- Incorrect rendering of video frame on some video cards.
- Import of a target character with the same skeleton structure as the model in Mocap Studio results in error.
- Incorrect values displayed for occlusions percent in the calibration statistics.
ver. 3.2.0.182
N E W F E A T U R E S:
- Added settings for adjusting proportions of the actor's model:
- legs length
- arms length
- shoulders width
- head size
- feet size
- Layout of the Actor tab has been changed slightly.
- Settings for adjusting the size of a light marker in calibration projects.
- Improved automatic evaluation of calibration quality for multiple depth sensors.
U N D E R T H E H O O D:
