Mesh2Motion
What it is
Mesh2Motion is a 3D animation library and auto-rigging tool for web and game engines. Users can browse more than 170 animations and preview them on a sample model, then upload a model for auto-rigging or bring in one that is already rigged and skinned. It imports GLB, GLTF, DAE, and FBX models, with listed rigs for humans, birds, dragons, spiders, kaiju, foxes, horses, fish, and snakes. Editing tools include skeleton positioning, undo and redo, and importing animations to check compatibility. Users can combine multiple animations in a single GLB or FBX export. The maker says those formats work natively with game engines, Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern 3D pipelines. An offline desktop version for Windows, Mac, and Linux is said to include the same features as the online version. The models, rigs, and animations are CC0 for personal or commercial use without attribution, and source Blender files are available. The September 25, 2026 update added mirrored animation export and FBX 7.4 formats for Unity3D and Unreal Engine.
