Plask

Plask is a web-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to convert ordinary video footage into detailed 3D animations. Users can upload any video—recorded with a smartphone, downloaded from the internet, or captured with a professional camera—and the AI automatically extracts precise motion data from the people or objects in the clip. This motion data can then be applied to a chosen 3D character model, such as an MMD or VRM model, allowing the character to replicate the original movement with accurate timing, limb positions, and even subtle details like blinking or physics-based interactions. The entire process is designed to be completed in four straightforward steps: importing a video, having the AI process the motion, selecting and importing a 3D character, and then adjusting the scene’s lighting and camera angles with just a few clicks. No special suits, sensors, or markers are required, which makes the tool accessible to hobbyists, indie game developers, animators, and small studios who may not have access to expensive motion capture hardware. The platform also includes built-in features for refining the animation. Users can add cinematic effects, control the virtual camera movement, and adjust lighting to match the mood of the scene. The AI pipeline has been upgraded to handle more complex movements, including multiple characters or fast actions, and the rendering pipeline now produces higher quality outputs suitable for use in game engines, film previsualization, or social media content. Because the motion capture data is extracted directly from regular video, users can capture performances from anywhere without needing a dedicated studio. This opens up possibilities for remote collaboration: a director can film an actor’s performance in one location, and
