DeepMotion provides AI-powered markerless motion capture and body tracking, turning everyday video and text prompts into 3D character animation for creators and studios.
About
DeepMotion is a web-based AI motion capture and body tracking platform that generates 3D character animation from ordinary video or text prompts. It removes the traditional barriers of mocap work — specialized suits, sensors, and studio hardware — by letting anyone upload a video of human movement and receive animation-ready motion data, making character animation accessible to solo creators and small teams.
The company offers two main products. Animate 3D converts recorded video into 3D animation, including body, hand, and facial capture, using AI pose estimation. SayMotion generates 3D animation from text prompts, supporting the company's stated goal of building a large AI-generated 3D animation platform for digital human motion. Both tools run in the browser, offer APIs for pipeline integration, and are documented alongside companion tools, a Discord community, and a GitHub presence. DeepMotion publishes release updates and tutorials, such as a guide to creating and animating 3D figure skaters with generative AI.

Who It's For
DeepMotion suits 3D animators, indie game developers, XR artists, and educators who need motion capture without studio hardware. A Georgia State University professor uses it in visual production teaching; a Corridor Digital artist relies on it for professional motion capture work; and VR creators use it to animate characters built in virtual reality. It also fits students and researchers — a PhD candidate at MIT Media Lab used it in an AI filmmaking hackathon — and anyone producing character animation from reference video or text descriptions on a budget.
