Physics suite (professional-grade, in the browser)
| Feature | Description | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Quality Score | Ring dashboard summarizing animation health — all metrics measured in world space (v1.1) | Builder Pro |
| Foot Locking | Rebuilt in v1.1 — natural leg bend, live correction rings + per-foot cm readout, Anchor Follow slider, Bake to Timeline | Builder Pro |
| Jiggle Bones | Verlet soft-body physics for hair/skirts/capes + Bake to Timeline (graduated from BETA in v1.1) | Builder Pro |

| Vision Capture (Video) | Upload video file → AI mocap → 3D skeleton, baked onto validated rigs (UE5 / SL) | Free+ |
Both modes graduated out of BETA with v1.1 — mocap is functional in production, and the v1.1 Polish toolkit (Smooth, Trajectory View, Foot Locking bake) exists to refine its output.
Roadmap honesty — the "Heavy" model toggle
We built and A/B-tested a higher-accuracy AI model option for Video Mocap. Measured result: identical inference time, no quality gain. We dropped the toggle rather than ship a "Best" button that doesn't deliver. The plumbing stays for a future re-test.
