Mesh2Motion
Mesh2Motion is a 3D animation library and auto-rigging tool for web and game engines. Users can browse over 170 animations, preview them on a sample model, and upload a model for auto-rigging or use 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 animation imports for compatibility checks. Multiple animations can be exported together in one GLB or FBX file. The maker says an offline desktop version for Windows, Mac and Linux has the same features as the online version. The tool is free for personal or commercial use, and the models, rigs and animations are CC0. Source Blender files are available for study and improvement. The September 25, 2026 update added mirrored animation export and FBX 7.4 export formats for Unity3D and Unreal Engine.
