Rokoko Create
Rokoko Create generates 3D motion from video clips or text prompts, which users can edit in Rokoko Studio and export as FBX, BVH, or CSV. Video-to-motion uses Vision AI, with monthly processing allowances that vary by plan. Starter and paid plans include unlimited text-to-motion clips, but Studio imports are capped by plan except on Pro. Rokoko says generated video-to-motion and text-to-motion data can be used commercially. Exported FBX or BVH files are described as compatible with skeletons including UE5 Manny, HIK, and Mixamo, and with software such as Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini, MotionBuilder, and iClone. Rokoko Studio also supports real-time plugins for several of those tools. The free Starter plan includes 30 seconds of Vision AI processing and five Studio imports per month, plus one month of cloud storage. Basic is listed at $12 a month, while the pricing note says paid plans start at $10/mo (annual). New accounts can try Plus or Pro for free for 7 days.
