Motion Forge

Turn a video of a person into a stylized, living motion character. Drop in a clip and watch a stylized silhouette track the subject in real-time — then export it as a video or game-ready sprites.

🌟 Key Features

• Real-time pose tracking: No green screen or external plugins required.
• Complete styling control: Customize per-body-part colors, outlines, fills, glow, and shadows.
• Built-in smoothing (Experimental): Keeps the character clean and reduces tracking jitters.
• Workspace management: Includes frame editing, playback control, and saved project sessions.
• Spritesheet editor: Split existing sheets into frames, preview, and export.
• Flexible exports: Save your work as MP4, WebM, or uniform grid spritesheets.

⚙️ Requirements

• OS: macOS or Windows.
• Network: Internet connection required on first use only to fetch the tracker model. Everything runs 100% locally and offline after that.

⚠️ Current Limits

• Tracks one person at a time.
• Works best with the full body in frame and a static camera.

📸 How to Shoot Your Video for Perfect Results

• Framing: Full body in frame, from head to feet.
• Camera: Must be on a tripod—do not move, pan, or zoom.
• Lighting: Bright, even lighting; avoid harsh backlights or deep shadows.
• Environment: Simple background that contrasts cleanly with the person.
• Clothing: Fitted clothes track significantly better than baggy outfits.
• Clear View: One person only, with nothing blocking the body from the camera.

🖥️ System Requirements

• Processor: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or recent multi-core Intel/AMD CPU ⚡
• Memory: 8 GB RAM minimum 🛑 (16 GB RAM recommended for smooth performance 🟢)
• Performance Note: Processing speed scales with your video's resolution and length. Clips are held in memory while working.
