DeepMotion
DeepMotion builds 3D character animation from text prompts or reference video through a browser, with no mocap suit required. Its two products, SayMotion and Animate 3D, turn written motion descriptions or uploaded MP4, MOV, and AVI clips into exportable skeleton data for game and film pipelines. Output ships as FBX, BVH, GLB, or MP4 files you can retarget to custom characters.
Traditional motion capture needs specialized hardware and studio space. DeepMotion runs markerless full-body tracking in the cloud, so indie studios and solo animators can produce fight choreography or dance moves from a phone video. SayMotion adds generative inpainting to extend or blend motions beyond stock libraries, which stock animation sites cannot match without manual editing.
Game developers, XR artists, film students, and educators use it to prototype character motion before committing to a full rigging pass. The Free Animation Credit Program lets users earn back credits by labeling motion descriptions or correcting poses in the Rotoscope editor.
