What Is Motion Capture Animation?

Motion capture (mocap) is the process of recording real human movement and translating it into 3D character animation data. Professional mocap studios use optical or inertial tracking systems to capture an actor’s performance with sub-millimeter precision.

At MoCap Online, we capture every animation in our professional studio with trained motion actors. The raw data is then cleaned, edited, and optimized for real-time game engines and CG pipelines. The result is natural, realistic character movement that would take weeks to hand-animate — delivered as instant-download packs ready for your project.

Whether you’re building an indie game, a AAA title, an architectural walkthrough, or a film previs, our animation library gives you studio-quality mocap at a fraction of custom capture costs.

Our motion capture process begins with professional actors performing movements in a calibrated optical tracking studio. Dozens of infrared cameras track reflective markers placed on the actor’s body at key joint positions, recording movement data at 120 frames per second or higher. This raw tracking data is processed through specialized software that reconstructs the full 3D skeleton movement, resolving marker occlusions and cleaning up noise. Our animation team then hand-edits each clip to ensure clean loop points, proper root motion, and consistent quality across every animation in a pack.

Pre-made motion capture animation packs offer significant advantages over both hand-animation and custom capture sessions. A single custom mocap shoot can cost thousands of dollars in studio rental, actor fees, and post-processing time. Hand-animating realistic human movement requires experienced animators working days or weeks per clip. MoCap Online packs deliver the same professional quality at a fraction of the cost, with instant access to hundreds of animations organized by theme and use case.

Our animations use a standardized skeleton hierarchy that makes retargeting to your character straightforward in all major game engines. Every pack is designed with game developers in mind — animations include proper root motion data, clean loop frames, and transition-friendly poses that work seamlessly in animation state machines and blend trees.

Animation File Formats and Game Engine Compatibility

Every MoCap Online animation pack is available in multiple professional file formats to ensure compatibility with your preferred workflow. We deliver each animation in FBX, BVH, and native engine-specific formats so you can start working immediately without conversion hassles. Here is a detailed overview of each supported format and how it integrates with popular 3D applications and game engines.

FBX (Filmbox) — FBX is the industry standard interchange format for 3D animation, supported by virtually every game engine and digital content creation tool. Our FBX files contain skeletal animation data with a standardized bone hierarchy, making retargeting to your character rig straightforward. FBX files from MoCap Online work directly in Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, MotionBuilder, and dozens of other applications. The FBX format preserves animation curves, root motion data, and bone transforms at the original capture frame rate.

BVH (Biovision Hierarchy) — BVH is a motion capture-specific format widely used for motion data exchange between applications and research environments. BVH files store skeletal hierarchy and rotation data in a lightweight, human-readable text format. This makes BVH ideal for research applications, motion analysis, and workflows that require programmatic access to raw joint rotation data. Our BVH exports use a consistent skeleton definition across all packs, ensuring predictable retargeting behavior when importing into any BVH-compatible application.

Unreal Engine — For Unreal Engine users, we provide native animation assets that import directly into your project with zero configuration. These packages include properly configured Animation Sequences with root motion, blend spaces where applicable, and metadata tags for animation state machine integration. Our Unreal Engine packs are tested against UE4 and UE5 to ensure compatibility with the latest engine features including Control Rig, IK Retargeter, and the Animation Blueprint system.

Unity — Unity developers receive animation assets configured with the correct import settings for Unity’s Humanoid animation system, including avatar mapping and muscle definitions. You can apply animations directly to any character using Unity’s Humanoid rig without manual retargeting setup. Our Unity packs support both the legacy Animation system and the Animator Controller workflow, and are compatible with Unity’s Animation Rigging package for runtime IK adjustments.

iClone, 3ds Max BIP, and Blender — Reallusion iClone users receive motion files in iClone’s native format, ready to apply to any iClone character or avatar. For 3ds Max users, we provide BIP files compatible with the Character Studio Biped system, allowing direct application to Biped rigs with full support for layers and motion mixing. Blender users can import our FBX files directly using Blender’s built-in FBX importer, with bone orientations compatible with Blender’s armature systems. We provide documentation for optimal import settings in each application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are included with each animation pack?

Every MoCap Online animation pack is available in FBX, BVH, and engine-specific formats including Unreal Engine, Unity, iClone, and 3ds Max BIP. When you purchase a pack, you select your preferred format and receive a download optimized for that specific application. If you need the same animations in multiple formats, each format version is available as a separate product listing so you only pay for what you need.

How many individual animations are in each pack?

The number of animations varies by pack and tier. Starter packs typically include 15 to 30 animation clips covering essential movements for a given theme. Standard packs expand to 40 to 80 clips with additional variations, transitions, and secondary actions. Pro packs provide the most comprehensive coverage with 80 to 150 or more clips including every variation, combo, and transition we captured for that theme. Each product page lists the exact animation count and includes a full clip list so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

Can I retarget these animations to my own character?

Yes. All MoCap Online animations use a standardized humanoid skeleton hierarchy designed for easy retargeting. In Unreal Engine, you can use the IK Retargeter or Animation Retargeting system to map our animations to any Skeletal Mesh with a compatible bone structure. In Unity, our animations are configured for the Humanoid avatar system, which handles retargeting automatically for any properly configured character. For FBX workflows, the skeleton follows industry-standard naming conventions that work with retargeting tools in Maya, MotionBuilder, Blender, and other DCC applications.

What licensing is included with animation packs?

Every animation pack comes with a Standard License that covers use in commercial and non-commercial projects. You can use our animations in games, films, architectural visualizations, simulations, and other digital media without additional royalty payments. The Standard License allows unlimited use in your own projects and products. For specific use cases such as large-scale enterprise deployments or redistribution in template products, we offer an extended Commercial License with broader terms. Full license details are available on our licensing page.

Do you offer custom motion capture services?

Yes. Through our parent company Motus Digital, we offer custom motion capture shoots for studios and teams that need bespoke animations not covered by our existing pack library. Custom shoots are performed in our professional optical capture studio with experienced motion actors and our full post-processing pipeline. We handle everything from shoot planning and actor coordination to data cleanup and format delivery. Contact us to discuss your project requirements and timeline.

What skeleton and rig do your animations use?

Our animations use a consistent humanoid skeleton with a standard bone hierarchy that follows industry naming conventions. The rig includes a full body skeleton with proper joint orientations, twist bones for smooth deformation, and root motion data for accurate character movement in game engines. The skeleton is designed to be compatible with retargeting systems in Unreal Engine, Unity, and major DCC tools. Detailed skeleton documentation and retargeting guides are available on our support pages.

Can I preview animations before purchasing?

Each product page includes animation list tables showing every clip in the pack with its name, frame count, and duration. Many packs include video previews showing the animations playing on a character in real time. We also offer free demo packs that let you download sample animations and test them in your pipeline before committing to a purchase. The demo packs include representative clips from our most popular categories so you can evaluate quality, format compatibility, and retargeting behavior in your specific workflow.

Do animations include root motion data?

Yes. All locomotion and movement animations include proper root motion data that drives character translation and rotation from the animation itself rather than relying on procedural movement code. This is essential for creating physically grounded character movement where the character’s feet match the ground surface accurately. Our root motion data is cleaned and calibrated to ensure smooth blending between clips and accurate distance traveled per animation cycle. Idle, gesture, and in-place animations use zero root motion to stay stationary as expected.

What is the difference between Starter, Standard, and Pro packs?

Our tiered pack system lets you choose the level of animation coverage that fits your project scope and budget. Starter packs focus on the most essential animations for a given theme, providing a solid foundation of core movements at the lowest price point. Standard packs add variety with additional animations, transitions, and alternative versions of key movements for more diverse character behavior. Pro packs provide the most comprehensive coverage available, including every animation variation, combination, and transition clip we captured for that theme. All tiers use the same professional capture and editing pipeline, so animation quality is identical across every tier level.

Are your animations compatible with VR and AR projects?

Yes. Our animations work well in virtual reality and augmented reality projects built on supported engines including Unreal Engine and Unity. The animations use standard skeletal hierarchies compatible with VR avatar systems and full-body tracking setups. For VR applications requiring upper-body-only animation or IK-driven lower bodies, our clips can be masked and blended using standard engine animation layer systems. The high capture frame rate and natural motion characteristics ensure that animations look convincing at the close viewing distances typical in immersive VR and AR experiences.

What frame rate are your animations captured and delivered at?

All MoCap Online animations are captured at 120 frames per second in our optical motion capture studio. The final delivered animation files are exported at 30 frames per second for most formats, which is the industry standard for real-time game engines and provides smooth playback while keeping file sizes manageable. Unreal Engine and Unity formats use 30 fps by default, while our FBX and BVH exports can be configured at different frame rates during our export process. The high capture rate ensures that fast movements like combat strikes and acrobatic actions retain their full detail and timing accuracy even after downsampling to the delivery frame rate.

How large are the animation pack download files?

Download file sizes vary depending on the format and the number of animations in the pack. A typical Starter pack in FBX format ranges from 10 to 30 megabytes. Standard and Pro packs with more animation clips may range from 30 to 100 megabytes or more. Unreal Engine packs delivered as UAsset files tend to be slightly larger due to engine-specific metadata. BVH files are generally the smallest since they store only skeletal data without mesh information. All downloads are compressed as ZIP archives for efficient delivery. Your download links remain active in your account permanently, so you can re-download packs whenever you need them without any time limits.

Can I use animations from different packs together in the same project?

Absolutely. All MoCap Online animation packs use the same standardized skeleton hierarchy and bone naming conventions, which means animations from any pack can be combined in a single project without conflicts. You can build animation blend trees and state machines that transition between clips from our Mobility pack, Combat packs, Life packs, and any other category. We design our animations with inter-pack compatibility in mind — idle poses, transition clips, and start and end frames are calibrated to blend smoothly across different animation themes and movement types. This modular approach lets you build comprehensive character animation systems by combining exactly the packs your project requires.

Do you offer bundle discounts for purchasing multiple packs?

Yes. We offer curated animation bundles that group together related packs at a discounted price compared to purchasing them individually. Our Starter Bundle, Pro Bundle, and Ultimate Bundle tiers provide progressively larger collections of animation packs spanning multiple categories. Bundles are an excellent way to build a comprehensive animation library for your project from the start, especially if your game or application requires characters to perform a wide range of actions across locomotion, combat, social interactions, and environmental activities. Check our bundles collection page for current bundle offerings and pricing.

How do I import MoCap Online animations into my game engine or 3D software?

The import process depends on your chosen format and software. For Unreal Engine users, our UE format packs can be imported directly into your project’s Content Browser by dragging the FBX files into the editor or using the Import button. Unity users import our animation files through the standard asset import workflow, and our animations are pre-configured for the Humanoid avatar type for automatic retargeting. FBX files can be imported into any application that supports the FBX format including Maya, MotionBuilder, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Blender. BVH files work with any BVH-compatible application. We provide format-specific import guides and documentation on our support pages to help you get started with each workflow.
