Move AI vs PoseCap

Move AI describes its products as markerless motion-capture systems that use AI to create motion data. Move One is an iPhone app that turns single-camera video into 3D animation. Its free plan provides 30 credits once, which do not expire, for videos up to 30 seconds. Starter costs $18 a month, billed at $18/month plus VAT, and includes 60 credits per month for videos up to 60 seconds. Other listed tiers are Standard at $48 a month, Plus at $225 a month, and Advanced at $490 a month. Genesis processes motion data on premises through a desktop application using Nvidia GPUs. It requires one Nvidia GPU and 6–12 Z CAM cameras and lenses; listed capture capacity is 1–8 people in volumes of 4 × 4 meters or 20 × 20 meters. Genesis can process RGB or grayscale feeds from many existing Vicon or OptiTrack systems and integrates with Peel Capture for camera control, start and stop commands, file naming, and project management. Output formats include FBX, BVH, GLB, USDZ, Blender, C3D, JSON, and MP4 previews. Move AI says it does not actively try to identify people in video, motion data, or output files.

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.
