DeepMotion
Markerless AI motion capture from video, turn clips into 3D animations online with freemium limits and paid tiers for longer seconds and commercial use.
Overview
DeepMotion Animate 3D lets you upload a video or use webcam input to produce a rigged 3D animation without suits or sensors. The service estimates body motion and exports FBX or BVH for game engines and DCC tools, with options for foot locking, physics filters, and hand and face estimation on higher plans. Creators can retarget to custom characters and preview results in the browser.
A freemium plan grants a small monthly quota for personal use, while paid tiers add more seconds, faster queues, and licensing for commercial projects. Typical users are indies, educators, and studios that need quick previz or social content without booking mocap stages. Text to motion features are emerging alongside video to motion, which broadens ideation.
By removing hardware and setup, DeepMotion accelerates animation loops from reference footage to ready to edit clips.
