Blender Add-ons
AI Mocap Studio
AI-powered motion capture addon for Blender. Capture body, hands, and face movements from webcam or video and convert them into character animation in real-time.
AI Mocap Studio transforms your webcam or any video into professional
character animation — no expensive motion capture suits or studios
required. Powered by cutting-edge AI pose estimation, this Blender
addon detects body, hand, and facial movements and retargets them onto
your rigged characters in real-time.
Capture Modes
- Body Capture — 33 landmark full-body tracking with accurate joint
rotation estimation
- Hand Capture — 21 landmarks per hand for detailed finger animation
- Face Capture — 468 facial landmarks with iris tracking, mapped to
blendshapes/shape keys
- Holistic Mode — simultaneous body, hands, and face capture in a
single session
AI Detection Models
- MediaPipe — fast and lightweight, runs on CPU, ideal for real-time
preview
- YOLO-Pose — GPU-accelerated, supports multi-person tracking
- MotionBERT — state-of-the-art 2D-to-3D pose lifting for superior
depth accuracy
Automatic Retargeting
Works out of the box with popular rig systems:
- Rigify
- Mixamo
- Auto Rig Pro
- Simple/Generic humanoid rigs
Live Streaming
- Unreal Engine Live Link — stream bone transforms directly into UE in
real-time
- VMC Protocol — VTubing support for VSeeFace, VMagicMirror, and other
VMC-compatible apps
Multi-Camera Support
Set up multiple cameras for improved accuracy. The addon synchronizes
frames, calibrates cameras, and triangulates 3D positions from
multiple viewpoints to reduce occlusion issues.
Motion Processing & Cleanup
- Moving average, Gaussian, and Butterworth low-pass filters
- Automatic gap filling and interpolation for dropped frames
- Outlier detection and removal
- Foot locking to eliminate foot sliding artifacts
Batch Processing
Drop an entire folder of video files and let the addon process them
all automatically — each video becomes a separate animation take with
full metadata.
