Marionette Mocap vs. Rokoko:
Which is the best video mocap for you?
Rokoko is known for their indie-friendly motion capture suits, but has recently moved into video mocap too. Rokoko vision offers unlimited motion capture, but runs in the cloud with limited creative control. Marionette runs locally on your computer, with realtime preview and unlimited rendering.
Why choose Marionette over Rokoko?
Since rokoko relies on cloud processing, you need to upload, wait and import to see the animation in your DCC. With Marionette, you can easily make edits and see them directly in blender, Maya & Unity.
Powerful cleanup
Motion capture from Rokoko often requires a lot of clean up, which can take away time to do the stuff you love the most. Marionette comes with powerful pose-to-pose tools in one intuitive interface.
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.
