DeepMotion

What is DeepMotion?

DeepMotion is an AI motion capture company whose main product, Animate 3D, turns ordinary video into 3D character animation without suits or special cameras. You upload a clip that can track up to 8 people, choose a default character, upload FBX, GLB or VRM models, or build one with Ready Player Me or Avaturn, and the AI retargets the motion automatically. Available settings cover face and hand tracking, plus physics simulation, locked feet, ground contact for hands and motion smoothing, and a Rotoscope Pose Editor lets you correct poses frame by frame. Results export as FBX, BVH, GLB or MP4. DeepMotion also provides an Animate 3D API, a real-time SDK and SayMotion, a generative tool for creating 3D animation from a text or video prompt. Accounts are free, with paid plans for high-volume creation and professional features; check the pricing page for current plan prices.
