What does NPC Mode make?

You hover in a stiff T-pose and turn on the spot like a game character on a turntable, whose animation just broke.

What photo works best?

A photo of you, full length, head to shoes, clearly lit, of one adult, a pet or a Character Studio character.

Upload a photo of you, full length, head to shoes. You bug out like a game character: a stiff T-pose, a hover and a slow spin. Get a 1080p clip with sound, ready to post, in vertical or wide.

How much does it cost?

From $0.35 a second, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and your first top-up has no card fee.

Can I use the result commercially?

Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.

Can I run it from code?

Yes. Developers run it as leap/effect-npc-mode through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.
