What is Plask?

Plask is a web-based AI motion capture service for animators and game developers. Users upload any video, from smartphone footage to online clips, and the AI extracts motion data that can be applied to an imported 3D character, including MMD and VRM models.

The editor offers camera and lighting control, effects such as motion blur and depth of field, and video rendering. Animations can be exported as FBX, BVH or GLB for Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya and other tools. A newer Plask Live feature works with Blender and Unreal Engine and currently requires macOS 14 or later and API credits.

Plans are Free (15 seconds daily limit), Standard at $18 per month billed annually and Pro at $50 per month billed annually.
