Motion Capture
Motion Capture
Magic Lantern's Motion Capture app lets you record any performance using a standard camera and transfer that movement to any digital character. No rigging, no mocap suit, no green screen, no controlled studio environment. What used to demand specialized hardware, weeks of technical setup, and an army of VFX artists now takes minutes. Record a performance on your phone or webcam, choose your character, and watch the motion transfer with natural weight, timing, and physical fidelity.
Your performance. Any character. No studio required.

No Suit, No Studio, No Rigging
Traditional motion capture required a specialized suit, dozens of sensors, a calibrated studio, and hours of technical rigging. Magic Lantern extracts motion from a single video in minutes, with no equipment beyond the camera you already own.
