AI Motion Capture Solution

What is Animate 3D and how does it work?

Animate 3D is a web-based DeepMotion service that lets you create 3D animations from text or video. It uses AI to speed up animation creation, so you can generate animations quickly without needing expensive hardware or software. You can upload a video to generate 3D animations, making advanced animation capabilities more accessible.

​

What products does DeepMotion offer?

DeepMotion offers a range of products to support AI-generated motion and animation, including:

​

What are the pricing plans and limits for Animate 3D?

Animate 3D pricing and plan limits include:

• Freemium: free to use, does not require a credit card, up to 60 seconds of animations per month
• Innovator: $17 per month when billed annually or $19 per month when billed monthly, up to 600 seconds of animations per month; includes advanced features such as face and hand tracking, physics simulation, and motion smoothing
• Professional: $39 per month when billed annually or $49 per month when billed monthly, unlimited animations per month; with highest job priority and access to the Rotoscope Pose Editor

​

Note: MotionGPT (text-to-animation) is available through sign-up for access; Real-Time SDK access is handled via sales contact.

​

What is MotionGPT and how can I access it?

MotionGPT is a beta text-to-animation service. It is open for sign-ups to gain access. As a beta service, it may not always exactly match text input, and there may be limitations related to vocabulary, grammar, and styling in the generated animations.

​

What is the Real-Time SDK and how do I access it?

The Real-Time SDK enables real-time body tracking and motion capture integration into applications. It is not publicly accessible by default; interested teams should contact the sales team to gain access. Performance and compatibility can vary by device and platform.

​

What support resources are available?

DeepMotion provides:

• Comprehensive documentation
• API access for developers
• A Discord community for user support
• Direct contact options for personalized assistance via the site

​

What are the current limitations I should know before using Animate 3D?

Key limitations to be aware of:

• Account plan restrictions: the length and file size of input motion clips depend on your plan (for example, Freemium includes up to 60 seconds per month, with a typical single video file upload limit of 20 seconds)
• Input quality effects: animation quality depends on input video quality (lighting, camera angles, occlusions, and backgrounds can impact results)
• Face and hand tracking: features are in beta and may not work optimally for all videos or character types; face tracking requires a clear frontal view and hand tracking requires clear views of the fingers
• Physics simulation: not available for custom characters and may introduce artifacts; users can use the physics filter to reinforce joint limits and reduce unnatural poses
• MotionGPT Beta: requires sign-up for access; results may not always match the input text precisely
• Real-Time SDK: not publicly accessible by default; access requires contacting the sales team; performance can vary by device and platform
