Animate 3D by Deepmotion is a cloud-based platform that leverages AI technology for motion capture, allowing users to create 3D animations from video clips without requiring specialized equipment, suits, or cameras. This platform has diverse applications, including game development, augmented and virtual reality, sports analysis, and more.
Features
Simple AI Motion Capture
Users can easily create 3D animations by uploading a video clip, selecting output formats and job settings, and running the process.
Advanced Controls and Flexibility
Animate 3D offers features like Physics Simulation, Foot Locking, Hand Ground Contact, Slow Motion Handling, Face & Hand Tracking for more control and flexibility in creating high-fidelity 3D animations.
Character Retargeting & Preview
Users can upload custom FBX, GLB, or VRM characters, use default characters, or create new models directly through Animate 3D. The AI will automatically retarget animations onto the custom characters.
Rotoscope Pose Editor
This patent-pending Rotoscope Pose Editor allows users to refine motion capture results by tracing the motion of their character directly over the input video, frame by frame.
Web Browser Access
Animate 3D is accessible through any web browser with an internet connection, without the need for specialized hardware or cameras.
Export to Common Platforms
Users can export FBX, BVH, GLB, and MP4 animations directly into popular platforms like Unity, Unreal Engine, Reallusion iClone, Blender, Daz 3D, and Maya.
