What is Rokoko Video?
Rokoko Vision is a free AI motion capture tool that lets anyone turn simple webcam footage or video uploads into professional 3D character animations—no expensive gear required. Whether you're a student, indie game dev, or hobbyist animator, you can capture full-body movement right from your browser and bring digital characters to life in minutes.
Built with accessibility in mind, Rokoko Vision removes traditional barriers to motion capture by using smart AI to track your movements through just one or two standard cameras. It’s perfect for quick pre-visualization, prototyping animations, or learning the basics of mocap without investing in suits or sensors.
What are the features of Rokoko Video?
- Free AI-Powered Mocap: Capture up to 15 seconds of motion for free, with unlimited recordings—ideal for testing ideas or small projects.
- Single or Dual-Camera Tracking: Use one webcam for basic capture or upgrade to dual-camera mode for better depth accuracy and reduced blind spots.
- Browser-Based Workflow: Record directly from your computer’s webcam—no downloads needed for capture (though Rokoko Studio is required for editing).
- Easy Character Retargeting: Upload your own 3D character or choose from standard rigs (like Mixamo or HIK) to apply motion data instantly.
- Export to Popular Formats: Save animations as .FBX or .BVH files for seamless use in Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, and more.
- Integrated with Rokoko Studio: Clean up motion data using free tools like the foot-locking filter and preview animations before export.
What are the use cases of Rokoko Video?
- Indie game developers creating quick NPC animations without a mocap budget
- Student animators learning motion capture fundamentals for class projects
- YouTubers and content creators adding dynamic character movement to videos
- Pre-vis artists mocking up scenes before full production begins
- Hobbyists experimenting with 3D animation using only a laptop and webcam
- Small studios needing fast turnaround on simple motion clips
How to use Rokoko Video?
- Ensure your entire body stays in frame during recording—no cuts or cropped limbs.
- Wear form-fitting, light-colored clothing and avoid black or loose fabrics that confuse the AI.
- Use a stable camera (tripod recommended) in a well-lit room with a plain, contrasting background.
- After capture, open Rokoko Studio (not Studio Legacy) and log in with the same Rokoko ID used on vision.rokoko.com.
- Select your skeleton type (e.g., Mixamo), retarget onto your character, and export as .FBX or .BVH.
- For best results, try the dual-camera setup—it significantly improves tracking fidelity by reducing occlusion.
