Faceware Studio vs PINOC

Faceware Studio has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

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.
