Character-specific review
Teams can inspect motion on the intended character rather than only on a generic target.
CUSTOM AVATAR
Custom avatar motion capture
Prepare reusable custom avatar targets for AIMoCap so source video can drive your own character workflow.
For teams searching for motion capture on a custom avatar.
Short answer
Custom avatar motion capture means applying solved video motion to a prepared and published avatar target, not uploading a character during every job.
When to use AIMoCap
Use AIMoCap when a team needs repeated mocap jobs on the same prepared character and wants Studio review before download or downstream cleanup.
When not to use AIMoCap
Do not use this path when the avatar is still a draft, when binding has not been tested, or when Default output is enough.
Custom avatar motion capture is about target reuse. The same prepared character can be selected again after upload, pose review, binding, retarget testing, and publish.
This is different from generic video-to-FBX output because the motion is evaluated on the team's own avatar.
The page should remain focused on repeatable character workflows rather than repeating the entire mocap product pitch.
Custom avatar motion capture facts
- Published custom avatars can be selected as reusable Studio targets.
- A draft avatar should not be used as if it were a stable target.
- Custom avatar output and Default FBX output answer different workflow needs.
- Character proportions can change how the same solved motion appears.
- Source-video quality still matters even when the avatar has been prepared well.
Why this is not just video-to-FBX
Use these facts to decide whether this workflow matches your output, integration, and cleanup needs.
Reusable setup
Publishing turns setup work into a reusable target for future jobs.
Two quality inputs
Both the source video and the avatar setup affect the final review.
Custom avatar mocap workflow
01
Prepare the avatar once
Use character management to upload, pose-check, bind, retarget-test, and publish the avatar.
02
Select the published target
When submitting a mocap job, choose the published avatar if the result should be reviewed on that specific character.
03
Compare result quality
Review whether the source clip and avatar proportions produce acceptable motion before downstream cleanup.
Common questions
Can I run mocap on my own avatar?
Yes, after the avatar is uploaded, bound, tested, and published as a reusable target.
Is a custom avatar job different from Default output?
Yes. Default output is generic animation-oriented output; a custom avatar job reviews motion on a prepared character.
Can a prepared avatar fix a bad source video?
No. Poor lighting, occlusion, or unclear motion can still reduce result quality.
