AI Mocap Studio

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.
