Motorica

What it does

Motorica generates character animations from motion capture data. It provides motion matching datasets, style and motion control, and root motion control. Animations work with Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, MoBu and Blender. A free Lite tier and demo booking are offered, and the app supports sign-up with email or Google.

The company says its founding team includes machine learning researchers who worked on deep learning for 3D animation synthesis, and that its models were refined through SIGGRAPH-published motion synthesis research. The site states Motorica was incorporated in 2020 with support from an Epic MegaGrant, after early work by Gustav Henter and Simon Alexanderson in 2019; Willem Demmers joined in 2023. Animations are synthesized from mocap actor performances, and the site says it uses a fully licensed mocap database with a verifiable chain of title. The contact form asks for name, email, phone, company domain, employee count, game engine and a message. The site lists customer comments attributed to Platinum Games, Raw Power Games and Inflexion Games.
