In the world of animation, gaming, film, and virtual reality, realistic motion capture has always been a complex and costly process. But with Runway Act Two, the game has changed. This groundbreaking AI-powered motion capture system simplifies the entire process by capturing detailed head, face, body, and hand movements with just a performance video and a reference character. No more expensive rigs or complicated setups need.

Runway Act Two brings professional-grade motion capture to creators of all levels, offering a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective way to create lifelike animations. Whether you’re working on indie (creative works) projects or large-scale productions, Act-Two makes motion capture accessible like never before.

What Is Runway Act Two

Runway Act Two is an advanced AI-powered motion capture model designed to take animation and virtual experiences to the next level. It eliminates the need for complex, costly equipment by enabling creators to capture detailed body, face, and hand movements with nothing more than a simple video. This system makes it easier than ever to create high-quality motion data, giving everyone—from hobbyists to industry professionals—the ability to produce stunning digital animations.

What Makes Act Two Different?

At the heart of Runway Act Two’s innovation lies its next-generation motion capture capabilities. Act-Two goes beyond standard systems that only track body moves by tracking head, face, body, and hand motions as well. This makes sure that every action, feeling, and gesture is recorded with lifelike accuracy, giving motion capture a level of reality that had never been seen before.

Act-Two is different because it is very simple. A performance film and a model figure are all it needs to make motion data. Long gone are the days of complicated setups and calibrations that took a long time. You can focus on what matters most with Act-Two: bringing your characters and stories to life with little setup and a lot of effect.

Major Improvements in Generation Quality

Runway Act-Two addresses the challenges of traditional motion capture by using cutting-edge technology to produce high-quality outputs that rival the most advanced systems available today. The result is fewer glitches, smoother and more fluid movements, and enhanced accuracy in your final product.

Whether you’re working on realistic human animations or creating fantastical sci-fi creatures, Act-Two ensures every movement feels natural and immersive. This improved generation quality is a game-changer for creators who demand the highest level of detail and realism in every frame.

All-in-One Tracking: Head, Face, Body and Hands

One of the most exciting aspects of Act-Two is its ability to capture detailed head, face, body, and hand movements—all in one integrated solution. Traditionally, capturing such intricate details required expensive and complicated equipment. Act-Two simplifies this process, offering an all-in-one system that covers every aspect of human motion capture with remarkable ease.

• Head and Face Tracking: Act-Two captures even the smallest nuances of facial expressions and head movements, which is critical for storytelling, especially in characters who rely heavily on emotional expressions. This makes it perfect for animated films and games where facial storytelling is key.

• Body Tracking: From the tiniest muscle flex to large sweeping movements, Act-Two faithfully recreates every body motion. Whether you’re animating a detailed fight scene or subtle character actions, Act-Two ensures every body movement is captured in lifelike detail.

• Hand Tracking: The hands are one of the most expressive parts of the human body, and Act-Two’s advanced hand tracking guarantees that every gesture is captured with incredible accuracy. This adds an extra layer of realism to your creations, whether they’re making a subtle gesture or performing a complex series of movements.
