Marionette Mocap vs. Meshcapade:
Which is the best video mocap for you?
Meshcapade is expensive and runs in the cloud, meaning you might run out of cloud credits in the middle of a project and costs run out of control. Marionette runs completely locally on your computer, offers great quality and unlimited motion capture at a flat monthly cost.
Why choose Marionette over Meshcapade?
Meshcapade charges around $10 for every minute of animation you process. With Marionette, you get unlimited rendering, processed locally on your computer, for only $12,50/month.
Faster workflows
Meshcapade requires you upload, process and then import into your 3D animation software. Marionette lets you stream directly to blender, Maya and Unity with dedicated plugins, which speeds up your 3D animation workflow.
No cloud, no problem, full privacy
Marionette runs completely local on your computer, meaning the data never leaves your computer. This ensures no leaks, full privacy and complete peace of mind when working on projects.
