What Is Motion Capture Animation?
Motion capture (mocap) is the process of recording real human movement and translating it into 3D character animation data. Professional mocap studios use optical or inertial tracking systems to capture an actor’s performance with sub-millimeter precision.
At MoCap Online, we capture every animation in our professional studio with trained motion actors. The raw data is then cleaned, edited, and optimized for real-time game engines and CG pipelines. The result is natural, realistic character movement that would take weeks to hand-animate — delivered as instant-download packs ready for your project.
Whether you’re building an indie game, a AAA title, an architectural walkthrough, or a film previs, our animation library gives you studio-quality mocap at a fraction of custom capture costs.
Our motion capture process begins with professional actors performing movements in a calibrated optical tracking studio. Dozens of infrared cameras track reflective markers placed on the actor’s body at key joint positions, recording movement data at 120 frames per second or higher. This raw tracking data is processed through specialized software that reconstructs the full 3D skeleton movement, resolving marker occlusions and cleaning up noise. Our animation team then hand-edits each clip to ensure clean loop points, proper root motion, and consistent quality across every animation in a pack.
Pre-made motion capture animation packs offer significant advantages over both hand-animation and custom capture sessions. A single custom mocap shoot can cost thousands of dollars in studio rental, actor fees, and post-processing time. Hand-animating realistic human movement requires experienced animators working days or weeks per clip. MoCap Online packs deliver the same professional quality at a fraction of the cost, with instant access to hundreds of animations organized by theme and use case.
Our animations use a standardized skeleton hierarchy that makes retargeting to your character straightforward in all major game engines. Every pack is designed with game developers in mind — animations include proper root motion data, clean loop frames, and transition-friendly poses that work seamlessly in animation state machines and blend trees.

Every MoCap Online pack ships in multiple professional formats so you can start working without conversion hassles.
FBX is the industry standard interchange format for 3D animation, supported by virtually every game engine and digital content creation tool. Our FBX files contain skeletal animation data with a standardized bone hierarchy, making retargeting to your character rig straightforward. FBX files from MoCap Online work directly in Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, MotionBuilder, and dozens of other applications. The FBX format preserves animation curves, root motion data, and bone transforms at the original capture frame rate.
BVH is a motion capture-specific format widely used for motion data exchange between applications and research environments. BVH files store skeletal hierarchy and rotation data in a lightweight, human-readable text format. This makes BVH ideal for research applications, motion analysis, and workflows that require programmatic access to raw joint rotation data. Our BVH exports use a consistent skeleton definition across all packs, ensuring predictable retargeting behavior when importing into any BVH-compatible application.
For Unreal Engine users, we provide native animation assets that import directly into your project with zero configuration. These packages include properly configured Animation Sequences with root motion, blend spaces where applicable, and metadata tags for animation state machine integration. Our Unreal Engine packs are tested against UE4 and UE5 to ensure compatibility with the latest engine features including Control Rig, IK Retargeter, and the Animation Blueprint system.
Unity developers receive animation assets configured with the correct import settings for Unity’s Humanoid animation system, including avatar mapping and muscle definitions. You can apply animations directly to any character using Unity’s Humanoid rig without manual retargeting setup. Our Unity packs support both the legacy Animation system and the Animator Controller workflow, and are compatible with Unity’s Animation Rigging package for runtime IK adjustments.
Reallusion iClone users receive motion files in iClone’s native format, ready to apply to any iClone character or avatar. For 3ds Max users, we provide BIP files compatible with the Character Studio Biped system, allowing direct application to Biped rigs with full support for layers and motion mixing. Blender users can import our FBX files directly using Blender’s built-in FBX importer, with bone orientations compatible with Blender’s armature systems. We provide documentation for optimal import settings in each application.
Our library spans over thirty themed packs covering every major category of human movement.
Mobility animation packs cover the foundation of character locomotion including walking, jogging, running, sprinting, and turning at various speeds and styles. These packs include starts, stops, direction changes, and transitions that blend seamlessly in game engine locomotion systems. Our mobility animations feature natural weight shifts, arm swing, and foot placement derived directly from professional motion actors. Available in casual, athletic, injured, and cautious movement styles to match different character types and game scenarios.
Combat animation packs span multiple fighting disciplines and weapon types. Our rifle shooter packs include tactical movement, aiming, firing, reloading, weapon transitions, and cover-based actions used in first-person and third-person shooter games. Pistol shooter packs provide handgun-specific combat animations including one-handed and two-handed grips, quick-draw sequences, and pistol whip melee attacks. Ninja and martial arts packs feature acrobatic combat moves, sword attacks, staff techniques, and defensive maneuvers. Punching and melee packs deliver boxing combinations, street fighting moves, and close-quarters combat animations suitable for fighting games and action RPGs.
Zombie and horror animation packs provide the unsettling, off-balance movement patterns needed for undead and horror game characters. These include multiple zombie walk cycles, lunging attacks, feeding animations, stagger reactions, and transformation sequences. Our death animation packs offer a comprehensive library of character death reactions covering gunshot impacts from multiple angles, explosion knockbacks, melee hit reactions, falling deaths, and dramatic collapse sequences. These animations are essential for creating convincing combat feedback and enemy variety in action games.

Starter packs provide core animations at the most affordable price, Standard packs add variety and transitions, and Pro packs deliver the complete animation set with every variation and combination we captured for that theme.
After completing your purchase, download your animation pack instantly from your account. All downloads are delivered as compressed ZIP archives that extract to organized folders with clear file naming. Import the animation files into your game engine or 3D application using that software’s standard import process. Our animations are pre-configured for optimal import settings in each supported format, so you can start applying them to your characters right away with minimal setup. Detailed import guides for each supported engine and application are available on our documentation pages.
Apply our animations to your character using your engine’s retargeting system. In Unreal Engine, set up the IK Retargeter or use the Animation Retargeting tools to map our skeleton to your character’s rig. In Unity, our animations work automatically with any character configured for the Humanoid avatar type. For DCC applications like Maya, MotionBuilder, or Blender, use the built-in retargeting tools or HumanIK to transfer our animations to your custom rig. Once retargeted, build animation blueprints, blend trees, and state machines that combine clips from multiple packs into a complete character animation system. Our consistent skeleton and naming conventions across all packs ensure that every animation blends and transitions cleanly with every other animation in our library.
