DeepMotion: AI Motion Capture & Body Tracking

DeepMotion offers AI-powered motion capture and body tracking solutions designed to bring digital humans to life. With products like Animate 3D and SayMotion, the platform focuses on converting video input into high-quality 3D animations, enabling creators to animate characters quickly and accessibly without traditional hardware-heavy setups.

What it does

• Transforms video references into realistic 3D character animations using AI-driven motion capture.
• Provides APIs and tools to integrate motion capture capabilities into custom pipelines and applications (Animate 3D API, SayMotion API).
• Targets independent creators, studios, and educational partners by lowering the barrier to entry for character animation and digital humans.

Key benefits

• Fast and accessible motion capture from video input.
• API-first approach for seamless integration into existing workflows.
• Supports turning video references into lifelike digital human motion, enabling rapid prototyping and production.
• Community and customer testimonials highlight ease of use, speed, and quality improvements to animation pipelines.

How it works

• Users provide video references or other inputs.
• DeepMotion’s AI models analyze motion, map it to a 3D character, and generate animation data.
• Animations can be refined and integrated into games, films, VR/AR experiences, and other digital media.

Use cases

• Character animation for games and films
• Virtual production and digital humans for VR/AR
• Prototyping animation concepts quickly from video
• Educational and research projects exploring AI-driven motion capture

Safety and privacy considerations

• As with any AI mocap workflow, ensure proper consent for any actors depicted in source video.
• Review outputs for accuracy and compliance with your project’s licensing terms.
