## Overview

DeepMotion is a browser-based motion-capture service. Its Animate 3D tool turns ordinary video of a person moving into 3D character animation, with no suits or markers needed.

You upload a clip, it tracks the body (and optionally hands and face), and you download animation you can apply to a rigged character in a game engine or 3D app. It's a quick way for small teams to get usable motion without a mocap studio.

## Key features

- Video-to-3D animation in the browser
- No suits or markers needed
- Body tracking, with hand and face options
- Export to common 3D formats
- Retargeting onto your own characters

## Use it for

- Turn a phone video of a dance into a game emote
- Create placeholder animations for a prototype
- Capture specific moves a stock library doesn't have

## Pricing

There's a free tier with limited monthly use, and paid plans add more. Prices weren't verifiable today, so check the site.

## Getting started

Sign up at deepmotion.com and upload a video to Animate 3D.
