About the project

A unified model for animating diverse skeletons: generates motions from text captions across different rig types, including objects and characters. Published at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026, with training/inference code, the UniML3D dataset and a demo.

Useful for

Train a skeleton animation model on the UniML3D dataset or a subset
Generate motion from a text caption for an arbitrary rig
Prepare custom assets through the UniML3D data-processing pipeline

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
