What it is

DeepMotion Animate 3D turns video into 3D animation using markerless AI motion capture. It tracks body movement, facial expressions and hand gestures, including multiple subjects—up to eight people in a single video. Users can choose default characters, upload FBX, GLB or VRM characters, or create avatars with Ready Player Me and Avaturn. Tools include physics simulation, foot locking, hand-to-ground contact, motion smoothing and a Rotoscope Pose Editor. The service accepts MP4, MOV and AVI video; exports include FBX, BVH, MP4 and GLB, with GLB export available for custom characters. One credit covers one second of animation or one 3D pose; face and hand tracking each add 0.5 credit per second or pose. Monthly credits reset without carrying forward. The free account is for personal, non-commercial use; licensed animation requires a premium subscription. The maker says uploaded videos are private to the account holder. An API and real-time SDK are available, with pricing by contacting sales.
