Studio-grade motion capture without the studio price tag. Rokoko promises this with its sensor-based performance capture systems. More than 250,000 creators have tested these tools. The accuracy claims hold up.

Rokoko's hardware lineup covers every capture need you'd expect from professional mocap. Smartsuit Pro II handles full-body wireless streaming over WiFi. Smartgloves track precise finger movements through hybrid IMU and EMF sensors. Coil Pro eliminates position drift with EMF-based global tracking. Headcam rig captures facial expressions with its built-in camera, lights and microphone setup.

Rokoko Studio software ties everything together — recording and cleaning your capture data in real-time. You can stream directly to Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender or Maya without rendering delays.

Picture a technical animator working on character performances for an indie game studio. Instead of keyframing every movement by hand, they slip on the Smartsuit Pro II and act out the character's walk cycles. Combat moves. Idle animations. Data flows straight into Unity where they can refine timing and add polish.

Sensors mean you're not tied to a specific capture volume like optical systems demand. Desktop software handles the heavy lifting while suits work anywhere you have space to move. Learning curve ahead though. You'll need to master Rokoko's workflow alongside your existing animation pipeline.

Founded in 2014. Rokoko has carved out its niche serving creators who need professional mocap without Hollywood budgets.

Frequently asked

6 questions
How much does Rokoko's motion capture equipment cost?
Rokoko doesn't put exact prices on their website — you've gotta contact sales for quotes. They say they're way more affordable than traditional studio systems, but professional hardware still costs serious money. Different packages depend on what you need: full-body, hands, or face tracking.
Can I use Rokoko suits in a small room or do I need a large studio space?
That's Rokoko's biggest win — their suits work anywhere you can move safely. No cameras needed like other mocap systems. The Smartsuit Pro II uses sensors that track you no matter what room size. You could literally capture in your bedroom if you wanted.
What's the difference between Smartsuit Pro II and the Smartgloves?
Smartsuit Pro II does your whole body — torso, arms, legs — through wireless sensors streaming over WiFi. Smartgloves are just for fingers and hands using IMU plus EMF sensors. Most people need both for complete character performance (including hand gestures).
Does Rokoko Studio software work with other 3D animation programs besides the ones mentioned?
Rokoko Studio directly streams to Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, and Maya. It exports standard FBX files too, so other 3D programs can probably import the data manually. But you'll lose real-time streaming and might need extra cleanup work.
How long does it take to learn Rokoko's motion capture workflow?
The company admits there's a learning curve with their system. You'll spend time figuring out suit calibration, cleaning data in Rokoko Studio, and connecting captured motion to your 3D characters. Technical animators pick it up faster — newbies to mocap need more time.
What happens if the Smartsuit Pro II loses WiFi connection during recording?
The suits keep recording internally even when WiFi cuts out. You won't lose your performance data, but real-time streaming stops until connection's back. The Coil Pro system maintains tracking accuracy during connection drops by giving global position reference.
