NeoCore

What NeoCore is

NeoCore is a Windows markerless motion capture system that tracks multiple actors across multiple cameras in real time. It runs on a single PC with standard USB cameras, without requiring performers to wear suits or markers. Motion data can be streamed to Unreal Engine, Unity, and MotionBuilder, while recorded capture can be exported in FBX, BVH, or GLB formats. Red Pill Lab describes the system for animation, visual effects, game development, and robotics, including scenes with several actors. Setup includes camera intrinsic calibration and 3D camera alignment; the maker says a studio or temporary space can be prepared in minutes. Installation uses a Windows installer named NeoCoreSetup.exe. On first installation, TensorRT-based tuning for Nvidia GPUs takes about 5–10 minutes, according to the documentation. Activation requires a software license API key and a cloud connection to verify it. Unreal LiveLink also requires the API key’s LiveLink feature and the LiveLink plugin in Unreal to be enabled. NeoCore pricing is available on request, and Red Pill Lab lists [email protected] as a contact.

Who it suits

It suits animation, visual-effects, game-development, or robotics teams that need markerless, multi-actor capture using USB cameras. Windows and the required license verification setup are prerequisites to consider.

Limits

NeoCore is paid, with pricing available on request. Unreal LiveLink is limited to API keys with the LiveLink feature enabled and the corresponding Unreal plugin enabled.

Getting started

1. Download and run the NeoCoreSetup.exe Windows installer
2. Connect standard USB cameras to a single PC
3. Complete Nvidia TensorRT tuning if using an Nvidia GPU
4. Perform camera intrinsic calibration and 3D camera alignment
5. Enter the software license API key and connect for cloud verification
6. Enable the LiveLink feature on the API key and the LiveLink plugin in Unreal when needed

Verdict

NeoCore offers real-time markerless capture with live integrations and several export formats. Teams should confirm their Windows and activation setup, and request pricing before planning a deployment.
