VerdictThe short version
Rokoko Vision is a good on-ramp — free to try, and the natural pick if a Smartsuit is in your future. mimem is built to be the whole pipeline: up to 12 calibration-free cameras, an allowance that renews daily, and commercial rights on every plan.

CoverageSeen from above
Occlusion isn't estimated away. It's filmed.
More viewpoints don't just cover blind spots — they tighten the triangulation, so subtler detail and the actor's intent survive into the solve instead of being estimated away.

Credit where dueWhere Rokoko wins
If you need these, buy Rokoko.
Real-time livestreaming
Studio streams live into your DCC while you perform; mimem reconstructs offline.
Native DCC plugins
Studio plugs into 8+ tools, Blender to Houdini; mimem hands you standard FBX instead.
A hardware upgrade path
If a Smartsuit is where your work is heading, start inside Rokoko's ecosystem.
Text-to-motion
Unlimited prompt-to-animation, even on the free plan. mimem only captures what happened.
That list is real — better you find out here than after signing up.
The decisionBoth ways, honestly
Pick by pipeline, not by ad.
Pick Rokoko Vision if…
- You livestream performances into a DCC or game engine
- You want native plugins inside your DCC rather than FBX import
- A Smartsuit or Smartgloves purchase is on your roadmap
- You want text-to-motion for previz filler
Pick mimem if…
- You capture real performances on cameras you already own
- Occlusion keeps breaking your single-camera results
- You ship commercial work — on any plan, including Free
- You want takes retargeted to your own character — stylized included — with IK-precise feet and hands
- You'd rather have a daily allowance than a monthly stopwatch
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Rokoko's Starter plan is free and includes 30 seconds of Vision AI video processing a month with FBX export (rokoko.com/pricing, observed 31 July 2026). mimem's Free plan renews 50 tokens every day, supports up to 3 cameras and includes full commercial rights.
Vision captures from one camera on the free plan and two on paid plans, after a calibration step (observed 31 July 2026). mimem is calibration-free and multi-camera on every plan — up to 3 cameras on Free and up to 12 on Pro.
Yes. Every mimem plan, including Free, comes with full commercial rights — client work, games you sell, films you distribute. There is no separate commercial license to buy.
mimem focuses on the body — full body, hands and fingers. For faces, creators pair mimem with a dedicated facial system such as Unreal's Live Link Face on a head-mounted phone, or Rokoko Face. That split mirrors most production pipelines, where face and body are captured by different specialized systems and merged on the character.
No. mimem reconstructs motion offline from every angle you filmed, which is how it stays accurate through occlusion. If live puppeteering into a DCC is the job, Rokoko Studio's livestream is the better tool today.
Yes — mimem exports standard FBX, which Rokoko Studio imports (the free Starter plan allows 5 Studio imports a month, observed 31 July 2026). You can capture with mimem and keep an existing Studio cleanup workflow.
