What it does
Image or text to a textured, rigged and animated 3D character or prop, exported as GLB, FBX or USDZ with skeleton, skin weights and baked clips. Studio, REST API and MCP server share the same jobs.
Markerless AI motion capture: turns ordinary video into 3D character animation; sister product SayMotion does text-to-motion.
