Motion capture software turns recorded or live movement into digital motion for characters and other production uses. Compare body tracking with face and hand tracking, then weigh character retargeting, cleanup tools and real-time output for the work you need to do. Export formats and supported platforms can affect how a tool fits with the rest of your workflow; free-plan availability and paid starting prices provide cost details. The ranking starts with Rokoko Studio, QuickMagic and Plask Motion, followed by DeepMotion Animate 3D and AIMoCap. Consider what you need to capture and how you plan to refine and use the resulting motion.
59 motion capture software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
