Plask.ai uses AI motion capture to animate characters from video, simplifying 3D animation workflows for creators and studios.
Details
Plask is an AI-powered motion capture and 3D animation tool that converts standard video footage into professional-grade 3D animations without requiring specialized motion capture suits or sensors. The platform supports uploading any video (including smartphone footage), automatically extracting precise motion data, and applying it to imported 3D characters (including MMD and VRM models with blinking and physics support). Users can adjust lighting and camera controls, add cinematic effects like motion blur and depth-of-field, and export high-quality video renders or 3D assets compatible with industry-standard software such as Unreal, Unity, Maya, and Blender. Plask offers a free tier with a daily 15-second motion capture limit, a Standard plan at $18/month (billed yearly) with 10 minutes of capture per month, and a Pro plan at $50/month (billed yearly) with 1 hour per month. Additional features include hand capture, multi-person motion capture, scene sharing, realtime collaboration, and a custom animation service that delivers TikTok-style or viral dance animations within 24 hours.
