Our take
Last updated 20 October 2026
DeepMotion's Animate 3D turns ordinary video into 3D character animation in the browser, and its SayMotion product does text-to-animation. The Freemium plan needs no card and gives 25 video-to-3D credits a month (1 credit is about 1 second of animation), but it is personal, non-commercial use only. Shipping animations in a commercial game needs a paid Starter, Innovator, Professional or Studio plan.
Best for Indie devs who want quick humanoid animation from reference video without buying a mocap suit.
Pros
- Browser-based markerless mocap from a phone or webcam video, with no suit or studio needed.
- A real free tier (25 credits a month, 20-second clips, up to two people) is documented on the official pricing pages.
- Credits can be earned back by labeling videos and correcting animations, per the vendor's free credit program FAQ.
Cons
- Free-plan animations carry no commercial license, so a shipped game needs a paid plan.
- Credits reset monthly and do not roll over.
- Paid plan dollar prices did not render in our fetch of the pricing page; confirm them on deepmotion.com.
