Mesh2Motion is a free 3D animation library and auto-rigging tool for web and game engines. Its library offers more than 170 animations that users can preview on a sample model. Users can upload a model for auto-rigging or bring in a pre-rigged, skinned model. It imports GLB, GLTF, DAE, and FBX files, and lists rigs for people and creatures including birds, dragons, spiders, kaiju, foxes, horses, fish, and snakes. Editing tools include skeleton positioning, undo and redo, and importing animations to check compatibility. Multiple animations can be exported together in one GLB or FBX file. The maker says those formats are natively supported by game engines, Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern 3D pipelines. An offline desktop version for Windows, Mac, and Linux is said to have the same features as the online version. Models, rigs, and animations are CC0 and can be used for personal or commercial work without attribution. Source Blender files are available for study and improvement. A September 25, 2026 update added mirrored animation export and FBX 7.4 export formats for Unity3D and Unreal Engine.
Who it is for
