Move AI
Move AI offers a revolutionary approach to 3D animation through its markerless motion capture technology, thus simplifying the process of bringing animated characters to life with realistic human motion. By transforming 2D video into 3D motion data using advanced AI, computer vision, biomechanics, and physics – it offers a useful solution for animators and studios of all scales.
Move AI lets users capture high-quality motion data without needing suits or markers, making it highly accessible for projects ranging from indie to AAA. The software supports single and multi-camera setups, allows capturing up to 8 people simultaneously in various environments, and includes advanced features such as hand and finger tracking.
Move AI’s technology enables large volume captures up to 20m x 20m spaces with the Move Multi-Cam product, and offers easy retargeting mechanisms for exporting motion data to preferred 3D animation software. This makes it convenient for animators looking to produce high-quality animations efficiently.
Additionally, the system’s capacity for capturing intense detail — including hand and finger movements — bolsters its application in creating immersive and intricate animated content.
