Autodesk invests in RADiCAL, AI-powered 3D motion capture

Today, Autodesk made an exciting announcement regarding its strategic investment in RADiCAL, a New York-based company renowned for developing an innovative, cloud-native, AI-driven 3D motion capture solution. This investment underscores Autodesk's ongoing commitment to making end-to-end cloud-based production accessible to all content creators. It follows closely on the heels of their recent acquisitions of Moxion and LoUPE, further solidifying their focus on cloud-first solutions. RADiCAL’s cutting-edge platform democratizes 3D motion capture, human virtualization, and large-scale analysis through its collaborative real-time system. Leveraging its proprietary AI technology, which combines advanced deep learning methods, human biomechanics, and computer graphics, RADiCAL can accurately estimate and reproduce skeletal joint movements in 3D from a simple video feed. This capability opens up endless possibilities, from animating 3D characters for metaverse applications to streamlining workflows in traditional animation and VFX industries. The accompanying image (attached below) offers a visual glimpse into RADiCAL's transformative technology.

With no need for specialized hardware, extensive training, or complex coding, this cloud-based solution breaks down barriers that previously limited access to high-end motion capture tools. Aspiring creators can now harness the power of AI to bring their creative visions to life and develop skills essential for more advanced 3D animation projects. Already, numerous global content creators, including companies like Aircards, Surreal Events, and educational institutions such as the Savannah College of Art & Design and Full Sail University, are utilizing RADiCAL to integrate motion capture into their work at scale. With Autodesk’s backing, RADiCAL aims to refine its leading AI technology even further, expanding its reach within a rapidly growing community while enhancing professional animation and VFX processes. “RADiCAL’s user-friendly approach makes it particularly appealing to emerging artists and future-focused creators,” commented Diana Colella, Senior Vice President of Autodesk Media & Entertainment. “We’re excited to collaborate with RADiCAL to broaden the scope of their sophisticated AI engine, placing real-time motion capture tools directly into the hands of more professionals. Our goal is to create a robust ecosystem for cloud-based content creation, and partnerships like these are crucial to achieving that.” Gavan Gravesen, RADiCAL’s Founder and CEO, echoed similar sentiments: “With deep ties to media and entertainment tech development, many of us here at RADiCAL have been longtime users of industry staples like Maya and 3ds Max. We’re thrilled to partner with Autodesk as we strive to set the benchmark for rapid, accessible, and cutting-edge 3D motion capture. This investment will allow us to enhance our AI capabilities, bolster our cloud infrastructure, and introduce advanced collaborative features tailored specifically for film, TV, and gaming.” Surreal, a pioneering web-based virtual event platform, has already integrated RADiCAL’s technology into its offerings. “RADiCAL’s groundbreaking technology has revolutionized how we operate at Surreal,” stated Nick Grant, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Surreal. “It allows presenters on our platform to interact with audiences as though they were physically present, significantly boosting engagement. Moreover, Surreal users can effortlessly control avatar movements using just a standard webcam. Capturing animation data locally enhances user interaction and ultimately enriches the Surreal experience.” For those interested in learning more about Autodesk’s mission to make cloud-based end-to-end production universally accessible, you can explore their resources [here].
