DeepMotion Animate 3D turns ordinary video into 3D animation through markerless AI motion capture. It follows body movement, faces, hands, and multiple people, with support for up to eight people in a video. You can use built-in characters, upload FBX, GLB, or VRM characters, or make avatars with Ready Player Me and Avaturn. Tools include physics simulation, foot locking, hand-to-ground contact, motion smoothing, and a Rotoscope Pose Editor. It accepts MP4, MOV, and AVI video, and exports FBX, BVH, GLB, and MP4, among other listed formats; GLB export is available for custom characters. A credit covers one second of animation or one 3D pose; face or hand tracking adds 0.5 credit per second or pose. Monthly credits expire at the end of the month. The free account permits personal, non-commercial use; licensed animation requires a premium subscription. An API and real-time SDK are also available, with pricing by contacting sales.
