| Integrations | Studio provides native real-time integrations for Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, Cinema 4D, MotionBuilder, Houdini, iClone and Cartoon Animator 4. | In Electron mode, VMC protocol can animate models in VMC-enabled applications such as VSeeFace, VNyan, and Warudo. |
| What it does | Rokoko Create is a browser platform that generates 3D motion from text prompts or uploaded video without requiring capture hardware. | XR Animator uses MediaPipe and TensorFlow.js pose detection from webcam or media input to drive VRM or MMD 3D avatars. |

In their own words
Rokoko Create
Rokoko Create generates 3D motion from video clips or text prompts, which users can edit in Rokoko Studio and export as FBX, BVH, or CSV. Video-to-motion uses Vision AI, with monthly processing allowances that vary by plan. Starter and paid plans include unlimited text-to-motion clips, but Studio imports are capped by plan except on Pro. Rokoko says generated video-to-motion and text-to-motion data can be used commercially. Exported FBX or BVH files are described as compatible with skeletons including UE5 Manny, HIK, and Mixamo, and with software such as Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini, MotionBuilder, and iClone. Rokoko Studio also supports real-time plugins for several of those tools. The free Starter plan includes 30 seconds of Vision AI processing and five Studio imports per month, plus one month of cloud storage. Basic is listed at $12 a month, while the pricing note says paid plans start at $10/mo (annual). New accounts can try Plus or Pro for free for 7 days.
XR Animator
XR Animator is a free tool for driving MMD or VRM 3D avatars from pose input. It uses MediaPipe and TensorFlow.js to detect poses from webcam video, and supports face, full-body, and combined face, body, and hand tracking. Full-body tracking can use a webcam or an image or video file. Face tracking supports 52 ARKit-compatible blendshapes. Users can record motion capture, export VMD, BVH, and glTF motion, and load VMD, FBX, and BVH motion files; FBX or BVH motion can also be exported to VMD. The scene can include 2D images or video, 3D panoramas, and .x or .glb objects. The web app works in major desktop and smartphone browsers, while Electron apps are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Android Chrome supports augmented reality. VMC protocol support and a frameless transparent background for capture apps are limited to Electron mode. The project notes that smartphones with limited processing power may be better suited to face tracking alone.
