DeepMotion AI - AI Motion Capture for 3D Animation
Visit Tool →
DeepMotion AI Brief overview
DeepMotion is a browser-based AI platform that turns normal videos or text prompts into 3D character animations. Its main products are:
- Animate 3D – Video-to-3D motion capture.
- SayMotion – Text-to-3D animation from written prompts.
Instead of wearing motion-capture suits or using special cameras, you upload a video (or type what you want the character to do), and DeepMotion’s AI tracks the body, face and hands to generate a full 3D animation.
The tool is aimed at game developers, 3D artists, filmmakers, VTubers, metaverse creators and anyone who needs realistic digital humans without a traditional mocap studio.
How to use DeepMotion
1. Create a free account
- Go to DeepMotion’s site and sign up for an Animate 3D or SayMotion account (freemium is available).
2. Choose your workflow
- Animate 3D (video to 3D):
- Open the Animate 3D web app.
- Upload an MP4, MOV or AVI clip (e.g., someone walking, dancing, fighting).
- Select options like face tracking, hand tracking, multi-person tracking, and motion smoothing if needed.
- Process the job; the AI converts the motion into 3D animation.
- Preview and optionally tweak poses in the Rotoscope Pose Editor, then download as FBX, BVH, GLB or MP4.
- SayMotion (text to 3D):
- Open SayMotion.
- Type a prompt like “a character doing a spinning kick” or “woman waving and walking forward.”
- Generate, preview and download the 3D motion.
3. Integrate into your workflow
- Import the downloaded animation into tools like Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Roblox Studio or other 3D pipelines.
Key features and functions
- Markerless full-body AI motion capture
