Mesh2Motion/mesh2motion-app

Import a 3D Model and automatically assign and export animations

What it solves

Mesh2Motion provides an open-source alternative to closed tools like Mixamo for automatically assigning and exporting animations to 3D models. It aims to offer greater flexibility by supporting a wider variety of model and skeleton types.

How it works

Users import a 3D model (GLB/GLTF format) into the web application, select a compatible skeleton type, and adjust the skeleton to fit the model. Once the skeleton is aligned, users can test various animations, select their preferred ones, and export the final animated model as a GLB/GLTF file.

Who it’s for

This tool is for 3D artists, developers, and creators who need a flexible, open-source way to rig and animate 3D characters without relying on proprietary, closed-source software.

Highlights

  • Supports importing and exporting 3D models in GLB/GLTF formats.
  • Includes built-in tools for skeleton adjustment and animation testing.
  • Features a dedicated preview generator for creating video clips of animations.
  • Released under the MIT license, with art assets provided under CC0 for maximum remixability.
