What is Rokoko Vision?
Rokoko Vision is an AI motion capture tool that turns ordinary video into 3D character animation for Blender, Unity and Unreal. It is made by Rokoko, the Copenhagen company known for its Smartsuit motion capture hardware, and version 3.0 rebuilt the solver to work from a single camera.
Vision removes the need for a mocap suit: you record a performance with any camera or phone, upload it, and the AI extracts full-body motion that you can clean up in Rokoko Studio and export as FBX or BVH. Rokoko says the new monocular solver beats its old dual-camera mode, which has been retired. It is used by indie game developers, animators, VTubers and students who need believable motion without a studio budget.
