About DeepMotion
DeepMotion - AI Motion Capture & Body Tracking eliminates the need for expensive motion capture suits. Using advanced AI, it extracts full-body 3D motion from standard 2D video footage in real time. The system tracks body, hands, and fingers, and exports animations directly to game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. Ideal for indie developers and small teams, it provides high-fidelity animation data from a single camera, reducing pipeline costs and production time.
Use Cases
- ▸Generate character animations when you only have video footage of actors
- ▸Rapidly prototype game movements without scheduling mocap studio time
- ▸Add finger and hand tracking for VR or interactive experiences
- ▸Retarget human motion to non-humanoid skeletons for unique characters
Features
- ✓Extracts 3D motion from 2D video using deep learning
- ✓Tracks full body, hands, and fingers in real time
- ✓Exports animations to FBX, BVH, and other common formats
- ✓Integrates directly with Unreal Engine and Unity via plugins
- ✓Supports single or multi-camera setups for improved accuracy
- ✓Provides an API for custom pipeline integration
FAQ
Can I use video from my phone for motion capture?▼
Yes, DeepMotion works with standard video from any camera, including smartphones. For best results, ensure good lighting and minimal background clutter.
How accurate is the tracking compared to marker-based systems?▼
DeepMotion achieves near-markerless accuracy for main body joints, though subtle finger movements may be less precise. It is suitable for most game animation needs.
Does it support real-time streaming into game engines?▼
Yes, through plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity, you can stream mocap data in real time for live animation or virtual production.
What are the system requirements?▼
A modern GPU (NVIDIA GTX 1060 or better) is recommended for real-time processing. CPU-only mode is available but slower.
