# canitcode/video2rig

> A tool that transfers motion from an AI-generated video of your own 3D model's first frame onto your own rig's skeleton in Blender, producing a regular Action without hand-placed points.

## Useful for

- Generate a walk or attack animation for a character from a video without placing keyframes by hand
- Train a joint reader on renders of your model and retarget motion onto a custom rig (troll, wolf, centaur)
- Auto-create an armature and skinning for an unrigged model via the built-in auto-rig

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 07:48–10:01: 111 → 114 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 114 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #197.
- About 5 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @corysimmons (544 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 28
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 17 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

## Stars per day, last 7 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-23 … 2026-10-29: 0, 2, 41, 20, 26, 20, 3

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
