About Apple Arts Studios

Apple Arts Studios is a motion-capture and performance-capture studio based in Hyderabad, India. It serves feature films, television, AAA video games, animation, visual effects, and emerging Physical AI applications. The business traces its operational founding to 2011 and formalized its limited liability partnership structure in June 2023.

Its work connects performance recording with the processing needed to deliver motion data for animation and technical applications. Full-performance capture combines body movement, facial expression, hand and finger articulation, prop interaction, and audio. The studio supports synchronized multi-actor sessions, including large groups, wirework, and complex stunt performances.

Capture and animation workflows

The studio provides optical motion capture alongside facial workflows using stereo head-mounted cameras and iPhone HMC systems. Its post-processing services cover marker tracking and labeling, occlusion solving, gap filling, jitter reduction, skeleton retargeting, and integration with character rigs. These capabilities support productions that need captured performances translated into usable animation data.

Apple Arts Studios also integrates Unreal Engine into real-time previsualization, virtual scouting, and virtual-camera workflows. These tools allow production teams to explore performances and camera choices within virtual environments during capture. Its services extend to game and cinematic animation, facial tracking, and retargeting.

Alongside its permanent capture facility, the studio deploys mobile systems for on-set work. The report describes deployments to outdoor film sets, sports facilities, and international soundstages, allowing capture sessions to take place in environments suited to the production.

Motion data for AI and robotics

Beyond entertainment, Apple Arts Studios produces motion datasets for humanoid robotics and Physical AI developers. Capture subjects include full-body movement, dexterous hand and finger articulation, interactions between multiple people, and object handling. These datasets support applications requiring detailed recordings of human movement and interaction.

The company delivers data in BVH, FBX, and custom AI formats. Its offering combines capture-stage production with tracking, cleanup, and retargeting, giving clients access to both recorded performances and subsequent motion-data processing.
