Move One vs PINOC

Move One is a single-camera iPhone motion-capture app for creating 3D animations from video. Move.ai describes the process as AI-powered, markerless capture for studios and creators. Credits convert 2D footage into 3D motion data: Gen 1 uses one credit per person-second and Gen 2 uses two. The free plan includes 30 one-time credits that do not expire and permits videos up to 30 seconds; paid plans allow 60-second videos. Listed exports are FBX, USDC, BLEND, USDZ, MP4, and biomechanics data, while MP4, MOV, and AVI uploads up to 1GB are supported. Biomechanics output includes per-frame joint positions, rotations, torques, and reaction forces. A Chrome extension sends capture data to a PC, and a Blender plugin imports animations, currently supporting FBX only. Documentation covers NVIDIA Omniverse, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, and Cinema 4D. Plans start at $18 a month, billed $18/month plus VAT.

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.
