What is Plask?
Plask extracts motion capture data from video footage without a suit or specialized hardware. Upload a clip of someone moving, and the platform tracks skeletal motion to produce animation data you can apply to any 3D character rig.
Indie game developers and animation students use Plask to add realistic movement to characters without booking a mocap studio. The result is less precise than optical marker systems but dramatically faster and cheaper — useful for prototyping, cinematic cutscenes, and secondary characters.
Accuracy depends on video quality and camera angle. Single-camera footage produces workable results for most body motions; fine hand and facial movement still requires dedicated tooling.
