Shogun Markerless 1.20 enables you to include optical finger markers in your markerless captures (sometimes referred to as hybrid finger tracking). This feature combines the convenience of markerless tracking for the body with the accuracy of marker-based tracking for the hands and fingers. Shogun Markerless 1.20 also includes improvements to markerless tracking in general as well as improvements to solving of the spine, producing more flexible and accurate articulation. In addition, this release provides the motion models feature (introduced in Shogun 1.19) in Simplified Chinese.

### Markerless tracking with optical finger markers


> ![Using fingers with optical markers in markerless tracking](media://1e47fea5-aa2d-4bbc-8926-7246331be99c)

Shogun Markerless 1.20 combines the convenience of using markerless technology to track the body of a subject with the accuracy of marker-based tracking for the hands and fingers, so you can now quickly set up subjects to track both body and hand motion.

> ⚠️ **Note**  
> ⚠️ Although Shogun Post successfully runs single-click cleanup on subjects captured with Shogun Markerless using hybrid tracking with optical finger markers, it does not automatically clean the optical finger data. You will normally have to perform further cleanup after you have run the cleanup operation on the markerless data.
