🥷 No Motion-Capture Suit. No Downloads. Just Instant 3D Magic.

If you’ve ever wanted to animate a 3D character without a studio setup or expensive hardware, RADiCAL might be the easiest way to do it.

This browser-based platform uses AI motion capture to turn your movements into 3D animation in real time. All you need is a camera and an internet connection.

What it does:

RADiCAL combines motion capture, animation, and real-time collaboration in one workspace. You can record motion from your webcam, apply it to 3D characters, and build entire scenes—all without downloading software or plugging in a sensor suit.

Key features:

  • AI-powered, markerless motion capture using a single camera

  • 3D scene builder with drag-and-drop simplicity

  • Real-time collaboration via shareable project links

  • Works on almost any device (phone, laptop, or desktop)

  • Seamless export to Unreal, Unity, Blender, and Maya

  • Free to start, with paid tiers for advanced tools

How it’s used:

RADiCAL is useful for anyone working in storytelling or visualization. Filmmakers can quickly block shots and test camera angles. Animators can experiment with poses or rough out scenes before refining them elsewhere. Game developers can capture motion data without renting studio time. Even educators and students can prototype interactive 3D lessons or demos.

Who it’s best for:

Independent creators, small studios, educators, and curious tinkerers who want to explore 3D storytelling without the technical barrier of traditional tools.
