DeepMotion is a browser-based AI motion capture platform that converts videos and text prompts into 3D animations. Its two core products, Animate 3D and SayMotion, let you generate lifelike character motion without expensive mocap equipment or manual keyframing. Upload a video and the AI tracks body, face, and hand movements, then maps them onto your 3D character. Or simply describe the motion you want in plain text. Export in FBX, BVH, GLB, or MP4 and bring animations into Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, or Maya. Built by a team with Pixar, Disney, and Blizzard backgrounds.

• Video-to-3D Animation (Animate 3D): Upload any video and DeepMotion's AI tracks body movements, facial expressions, and hand gestures without physical markers or special equipment. It maps captured motion onto your chosen 3D character automatically.
• Text-to-3D Animation (SayMotion): Describe an action in plain language, like "character stumbles and waves apologetically," and the AI generates the 3D animation in seconds. No filming required.
• AI Inpainting & Motion Editing: Merge, modify, and extend animations using text prompts. Blend multiple clips together or edit specific sections of an animation without starting over.
• Multi-Person Tracking: Track up to 8 people in a single video, making it practical for group scenes and choreography.
• Custom Character Support: Upload your own FBX, GLB, or VRM characters, or create avatars with built-in Ready Player Me and Avaturn integrations. The AI retargets animations onto any character you choose.
• Multi-Format Export: Export animations in FBX, BVH, GLB, and MP4 formats for direct use in Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Maya, and MotionBuilder.
• Browser-Based Workflow: Everything runs in your web browser. No software installation or specialized hardware needed to start creating animations.
• Rotoscope Pose Editor: Edit animations frame-by-frame to correct joint tracking issues, giving you fine control over the final output.

• Massive Time Savings: What used to take days of manual keyframing can be prototyped in minutes, making it a strong force multiplier for small teams.
• No Mocap Equipment Needed: Markerless AI tracking means you can capture motion from any ordinary video, removing the cost barrier of traditional motion capture setups.
• Low Barrier to Entry: Browser-based access with no software to install makes it accessible to beginners, students, and indie creators who lack technical animation skills.
• Flexible Input Options: Choose between video upload or text prompts depending on your workflow. Combine both approaches in a single project for maximum flexibility.
• Wide Integration Support: Exports work directly with major 3D tools and game engines, fitting into existing production pipelines without friction.
• Free Tier Available: The freemium plan lets you test the platform before committing, so you can evaluate output quality for your specific needs.

• Output Quality Depends on Input: Poor lighting, low resolution, or fast movements in your source video can reduce tracking accuracy and produce artifacts like foot sliding.
• Restrictive Free Plan: Free plan is restrictive with limited monthly animation credits, not enough for production work.
• Struggles with Complex Scenes: Multi-character interactions, overlapping movements, and nuanced emotional animations often need manual cleanup afterward.
• Credit-Based Scaling: Paid plans use a credit-based system that can run out quickly if you're iterating on multiple animations, pushing you toward higher tiers.
• Internet Connection Required: As a cloud-based tool, you need a stable connection at all times. There's no offline mode for working on the go.

• Indie Game Development: A small game studio can record reference footage of combat moves or character actions and convert them into 3D animations for their game prototype. Instead of hiring a mocap studio, the team uploads smartphone footage and gets usable animations retargeted to their game characters in minutes.
• Film Previsualization: Filmmakers and VFX teams use DeepMotion to quickly generate rough 3D animations for storyboarding and previsualization. Directors can test camera angles and scene blocking with animated 3D characters before committing to expensive production shoots.
• Educational Content Creation: Teachers and instructors create animated 3D demonstrations for online courses or classroom presentations. A biomechanics professor, for example, can capture human movement from video and analyze it in 3D to teach students about body mechanics.
• VR and AR Experiences: XR developers generate locomotion cycles, gestures, and interaction animations from text prompts to populate immersive training apps or virtual environments. SayMotion speeds up the process of building animation libraries for virtual worlds.
• Social Media and Marketing Content: Content creators produce animated character videos for social media, ads, or product demos without hiring animators. A marketing team can generate a short animated clip from a text description and export it as MP4 for immediate use.
• Remote Animation Collaboration: Distributed animation teams use the browser-based platform as a shared workspace. Team members anywhere in the world can upload reference videos, generate animations, and export files for integration into the team's pipeline.
