LOCAL PROCESSING INSTALL & RUN NO SUBSCRIPTIONS

Markerless motion capture, volumetric video & 3D workflow tools

Brekel is a one-person company making tools for markerless motion capture and volumetric video since 2010. The apps track bodies, faces, hands and point clouds using depth sensors, webcams and VR hardware. You pay once, run the installer, and all the processing happens on your own machine: no subscriptions, no login.

The apps run on Windows (MeshCache Studio also on macOS), and every one has a free trial so you can test with your own hardware before buying a license.

There are free tools that do parts of this, and a few of them are excellent. What you pay for here is the boring part: the installer, the export formats, and files that open straight into the app you already use. Why I say that.

The depth sensor comparison covers 91 cameras and which apps support each. How depth sensing works explains the technologies behind them.
