The industry standard for professional screenwriting and story architecture.
Markerless 3D motion capture and real-time body tracking powered by physics-based AI.

DeepMotion Animate 3D is a cloud-based service that utilizes computer vision and physics-based AI to transform 2D video into high-fidelity 3D motion data. By 2026, it has established itself as the premier solution for developers and creators who require high-quality motion capture without the overhead of hardware suits or specialized cameras. The technical architecture relies on 'MotionBrain,' a proprietary engine that handles inverse kinematics, foot locking, and collision detection in a unified physics simulation. This ensures that the generated animations do not suffer from the 'sliding feet' or 'jitter' common in earlier AI MoCap iterations. The platform supports a wide array of inputs from single-camera smartphone footage to multi-person scenarios, outputting industry-standard formats compatible with major game engines like Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. With the introduction of the Real-Time Body Tracking API, DeepMotion now enables live interactive experiences, positioning itself as a critical bridge between physical performance and digital representation in the spatial computing era.
