🥷 Browser-Based AI Motion Capture for 3D Creators

If you’ve ever wanted to bring characters or scenes to life in 3D but felt locked out by expensive gear or complicated software, RADiCAL might be worth a look.

It’s a browser-based platform that uses AI for motion capture—meaning you can animate 3D characters in real time using just a camera (even your phone) without the need for suits, sensors, or heavy downloads.

What It Does (Plainly):

RADiCAL captures your movement via a standard camera, translates it into 3D animation instantly, and lets you build and share scenes online. You can think of it as a lightweight, AI-powered alternative to traditional motion capture studios—accessible from virtually any device.

Key Features:

• Markerless AI mocap: Real-time animation with a single camera.

• In-browser 3D tools: No software installs; just open a browser and start creating.

• Real-time collaboration: Share a project URL and work with others simultaneously.

• Asset library & templates: Drag-and-drop 3D elements for quick scene building.

• Easy exports: Send animations directly to Unreal, Unity, Maya, Blender, and more with free plugins.

• Free plan available: Start experimenting without a paid subscription.

How People Actually Use It:

• Filmmakers can block shots or pre-visualize complex scenes before stepping on set.

• Game developers can prototype character movements without expensive rigs.

• Animators and storytellers can quickly test ideas, storyboard, or create interactive experiences.

• Streamers and educators can animate avatars in real time for live content or teaching.

Because it runs in a browser and doesn’t need specialized hardware, RADiCAL lowers the barrier to entry for 3D animation. It’s especially handy for remote teams needing to collaborate without large file transfers or complex pipelines.

Best For: Independent creators, small studios, educators, or anyone curious about adding 3D animation or pre-visualization to their workflow without investing in full mocap setups.

If you’re curious, you can give RADiCAL a spin for free here.
