DeepMotion Animate 3D

Use this skill when an agent needs to turn recorded human performance video into 3D character animation with DeepMotion Animate 3D, or when planning an Animate 3D Cloud/API/Real-Time SDK mocap workflow. This is a provider skill for markerless video-to-3D motion capture, not a general 3D generation, text-to-animation, acting direction, rigging theory, or animation-polish skill.

Do not use this skill for:

• generating a 3D model, character mesh, environment, or prop from text or images;
• provider-independent animation craft, keyframe animation, mocap cleanup in Maya/Blender, or final acting polish;
• text-to-3D animation through DeepMotion SayMotion except when an API page exposes shared lifecycle patterns that must be clearly labeled as SayMotion rather than Animate 3D;
• non-human, non-humanoid, creature-specific, vehicle, cloth, or object motion capture unless the task is explicitly about testing a humanoid approximation.

What Animate 3D Is

Documented fact, verified 2026-07-11: DeepMotion describes Animate 3D as markerless AI motion capture that converts ordinary human video into 3D animation. The product page and documentation say it can track full-body movement, facial expressions, hand gestures, and multiple subjects, with output formats including FBX, BVH, GLB, and MP4. Sources: https://www.deepmotion.com/animate-3d and https://www.deepmotion.com/doc/animate-3d.

Documented fact, verified 2026-07-11: DeepMotion positions Animate 3D in three access modes: Animate 3D Cloud through the browser, Animate 3D API for application integration, and Animate 3D Real-Time SDK as a lightweight real-time version. Public pages route API and Real-Time SDK access through sales/contact rather than publishing a complete public Animate 3D API reference. Source: https://www.deepmotion.com/animate-3d.

Marketing claim, verified 2026-07-11: DeepMotion calls Animate 3D accessible mocap with no suits or required cameras and says users can create animations "in minutes." Treat this as provider positioning, not an accuracy guarantee or processing-time SLA.
