Dance animation from a video
To turn a dance into a 3D animation, film it (or take a dance video you have the rights to) and convert it with AI motion capture. KinemIQ keeps the rhythm, the steps and the arm moves, puts them on a 3D character and exports a file for your game, video or VR scene.

After the analysis
Trim the part you want, make it loop, change the speed to the music, fix a pose with the mouse, and export.
Frequently asked questions
Can it follow fast moves and spins?
Most of them. Very fast spins or moves hidden from the camera may need a quick fix in the editor afterwards.
Can I use a dance video from the internet?
Only if you have the right to use it. The safest is to film the dance yourself.
Which formats can I export?
FBX, GLB / glTF and BVH, for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Blender and more.
