DeepMotion Animate 3D vs PINOC

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.

PINOC turns ordinary video into 3D skeletal animation, using footage from a phone, webcam, or screen recording. A webcam or smartphone can capture one person’s full body without a suit or sensors. The maker says a capture takes about a minute and returns motion on a 65-bone Mixamo-named skeleton, with FBX and GLB export for 3D pipelines. It lists Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya, Unity, Cinema 4D, and Houdini as compatible tools. PINOC also provides image-to-3D characters, text-to-3D motion, and automatic rigging for uploaded models. Its page describes video-to-mocap and text-to-motion APIs, plus an MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other compatible agents. The maker recommends an unobstructed person, full-body framing, and adequate lighting. Viggle says extracted features are discarded after generation and face data is neither stored nor shared. It may use submitted images and generated content to improve services, but excludes API and paid-user content from model training without prior written consent. PINOC has a free plan; paid plans are listed from $12.99/mo.
