RADiCAL
AI markerless motion capture in the browser from a single camera.
About
RADiCAL (Radical Motion) is an AI-powered, markerless motion capture platform that turns any standard webcam or smartphone into a real-time mocap device. Its flagship product, RADiCAL Motion, captures full-body, upper-body, finger, hand, and facial motion in the browser with no suits, gloves, or hardware, streaming live animation data into Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, Blender, RADiCAL Canvas, and WebGL apps. RADiCAL Canvas is the companion web app for collaborative 3D previs, storyboarding, and scene design.
The company is backed by Autodesk and has pushed into adjacent products: Autodesk Flow Studio now covers text-to-character generation with auto-rigging and AI rendering. Honest caveats: the standalone public-beta era of 2024 matured into this Autodesk-backed offering, and per older pricing the free plan included 24 hours of playtime per year with metered FBX exports, so heavy production use lands on paid tiers.
What it can do
- Real-time markerless full-body, finger, and facial capture
