Brekel Body
What Brekel Body is
Brekel Body is a Windows 64-bit application for real-time, markerless body motion capture. It uses depth sensors and webcams to record or stream skeleton animation. Body v3 supports Azure Kinect, both Kinect generations, Orbbec, StereoLabs ZED, Intel RealSense, and webcams. Its multi-sensor edition can align and fuse mixed sensors across one or more machines, helping reduce occlusion and expand capture volume. Optional face tracking can use the same sensor or a head-mounted camera. An optional deep-learning tracker requires an NVIDIA RTX 2000-series-or-newer GPU or a CPU with AVX2 support. Live streaming works with Autodesk MotionBuilder, Unity, Unreal Engine Live Link, generic TCP/UDP, and OSC. Recordings export to FBX, BVH, TXT, CSV, BPC, and WAV. Processing is local, without cloud processing or login. Paid perpetual licenses include one year of maintenance updates. Pricing starts from $149, with a free trial.
Who it suits
It suits Windows users who want to install markerless capture software, record or stream movement, and use results in a 3D application. Multi-sensor and integration options fit workflows needing larger capture areas or live output.
What it does well
