Problem
Traditional motion capture requires expensive suits, dedicated studio spaces, and specialized hardware, making it inaccessible for many independent animators and small studios. Additionally, captured data is often noisy and requires time-consuming manual cleanup before it can be used in production.
Solution
Marionette provides an all-in-one motion capture and cleanup tool that works with just a laptop and a mobile phone. It captures production-standard body, face, and hand motion from a single video, running locally on the user's computer for realtime preview and complete privacy. The platform includes AI-powered cleanup combined with intuitive manual editing tools, allowing animators to refine performances in a traditional post-to-pose workflow. Users can capture multiple people in a single scene, and the output integrates directly into existing animation pipelines such as Blender, Unity, Unreal, Maya, and iClone.
Target Audience
Primary users are animators, game developers, and small-to-mid-sized animation studios seeking an affordable, high-quality alternative to traditional motion capture hardware.
