DeepMotion
What it is
DeepMotion is an AI animation company that has worked on physics simulation and body tracking since 2014. Its Animate 3D product performs markerless motion capture: upload a video and it produces a 3D animation of the people in it, with options for multi-person tracking, foot locking, physics filtering and face and hand tracking, exported as FBX, BVH, GLB or video files. SayMotion generates animation from text descriptions. A Rotoscope Pose Editor helps clean up results, and custom characters can be applied to the motion. A free plan with monthly credits is available, and paid tiers raise clip length, resolution, frame rate and the number of people tracked. An API and real-time SDK are offered for businesses.

Editor's notes
More context from AI BirdView
DeepMotion makes motion capture available to people who have never seen a mocap stage. You can record a dance, a fight move or a walk cycle on a phone, upload it to Animate 3D, and get back an animated 3D skeleton ready for a game engine or 3D package. Its SayMotion tool goes a step further by building motion from a written prompt.
- Captures full body motion from regular video, with face and hand tracking options
- Tracks several people in one clip, with the count rising on higher plans
- Physics filtering, foot locking and motion smoothing help reduce jitter and sliding
- Exports to FBX, BVH, GLB and video formats used across common 3D tools
- Offers an API and real-time SDK for companies building their own products
DeepMotion is a strong pick for indie game developers, VTubers, educators and XR artists who need believable animation without a mocap budget. A practical tip: film with a steady camera, good lighting and the full body in frame, since clean source video makes a noticeable difference in the quality of the captured motion.
