CapturyLive vs Plask Motion

CapturyLive is a turnkey hardware-and-software system that converts camera video into real-time 3D motion data for multiple actors. It tracks full-body movement; finger tracking is an add-on, while face tracking is offered as an add-on or standalone solution. Camera installations scale from four to 12 or more cameras according to performer numbers and space. The system records motion and video, then exports FBX, BVH, C3D, or CSV files. Charting tools cover 3D kinematics such as bone and joint positions and rotations, with support for AMTI or Bertec force plates. Live output can stream to Unreal Engine, Unity, MotionBuilder, BoB, OSC, VRPN, ROS, and OSVR. Captury’s APIs support custom streaming pipelines. Systems ship with Ubuntu pre-installed; the maker recommends Gigabit Ethernet cameras, cabling, and a network switch for synchronized video.

Plask Motion turns video into 3D animation using AI motion capture, without suits or sensors. Its single-camera capture extracts body movement that users can apply to an imported 3D character. MMD and VRM models support blinking and physics. The product also renders video with automated camera and lighting controls and customizable effects, and exports FBX, GLB, and BVH. Listed workflows cover Blender, Unreal Engine 4 and 5, iClone, After Effects, MetaHuman, VRoid, Cinema 4D, and Ready Player Me. Scene sharing and realtime collaboration are listed for all three plans. Plask recommends horizontal video at 720p or higher; it accepts MP4 and WebM files up to 100 MB and from 3 seconds to 5 minutes long. Multi-person capture is recommended for fewer than 10 people and limited to under one minute and 1,800 frames. The software recognizes human forms, not non-human objects for animation. A free plan is listed; Standard and Pro offer a 7-day trial. Standard is $216 a year and Pro is $600 a year.
