AIMoCap vs PoseCap

AIMoCap is a browser-based AI motion-capture platform that converts uploaded videos into 3D animation for animation and robot-motion workflows. In its web workspace, users upload a source video, trim the motion segment, choose a target, submit processing, then preview or download the result. It captures body and finger motion together and aims to preserve natural weight shifts while reducing visible foot sliding. Targets include Default, MMD, Mixamo, CC&iClone, Roblox R15, custom humanoid characters, and Unitree G1 robot output. Humanoid exports are FBX animation files; Unitree G1 exports Mujoco-oriented JSON motion data. Output frame rates are 24, 30, 60, and 120 fps. The asynchronous API uses bearer keys and supports batch jobs. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $9.90 per month. Custom robot uploads are planned for later.

PoseCap is a free Blender extension for streaming markerless, full-body poses from a webcam or video into a character in real time. It can stream live motion, record movement as Blender timeline keyframes, capture a single pose, and manage SMPL-X models. A separate engine process sends pose data to Blender over a local connection. MediaPipe Lite provides CPU-first capture without a GPU or provider account, while the PEAR backend provides higher-fidelity capture and requires an NVIDIA GPU with driver R570 or newer. The getting-started guide describes importing a Mixamo or Unreal character and converting it in one click. Blender 4.2 LTS or newer is required. PoseCap lists Windows 10/11 as its current target and provides a native Linux installation path; macOS is not currently planned. SMPL, SMPL-X, and FLAME models are separate licenses. Poses are pelvis-locked because monocular depth estimation cannot generally recover world translation.
