Plask

What is Plask?

Plask is a browser-based AI motion capture and animation tool. You upload video of a person, the AI extracts the 3D motion, and then you can edit the resulting animation right in the browser without leaving the page.

It was built by a South Korean team to make animation accessible to people who do not own mocap equipment or heavy 3D software. The combination of capture and editing in one place is what sets it apart from simpler video-to-mocap services.

Output can be exported in standard formats, so Plask slots into game, film and content workflows that use Unity, Unreal or Blender.

Key Features

• AI motion capture from uploaded video
• In-browser 3D animation editing tools
• Full-body tracking, with finger and facial capture in supported plans
• A built-in 3D scene editor with camera tools
• Export to formats like FBX and BVH
• Free tier for trying the workflow

How to get started

Create a free account at plask.ai and start a new project. Upload a video with the actor clearly visible, then let the AI process the motion.

Once the animation appears in the 3D viewport, you can scrub through it, adjust poses and export. Plask also hosts learning content, so newcomers can follow guided tutorials inside the product.

• Sign up for a free Plask account
• Upload a video of the movement you want to capture
• Wait for the AI to extract the motion
• Edit the animation in the browser viewport
• Export the result as FBX or BVH

Use cases

• Game animation for indie studios without mocap hardware
• Character animation for short films and music videos
• Creating avatar animations for social media and streaming
• Previsualizing movement before a full production
• Learning animation by editing real captured motion

Pricing and licensing

Plask is a freemium SaaS: a free plan gives you a limited number of credits to try the service, and paid plans add more credits, higher quality options and advanced features like finger tracking.

Prices and plan details change regularly, so check the official website for the current offering.

Pros and cons

Having capture and editing in one browser tab is genuinely convenient, and the free tier makes evaluation painless. The tooling is approachable enough for beginners while exporting standards-compatible files.

Downsides are credit-based limits on the free plan, cloud processing, and capture quality that depends on your footage. For very polished productions you will still do cleanup in a full 3D editor.
