Motion2MixamoRig

MaxLiu22/Motion2MixamoRig · ★ 1.2K

Motion2MixamoRig takes a video (or a still photo) of one person and transfers that motion/pose onto an Adobe Mixamo-rigged 3D character, producing preview videos and a skinned .glb file you can drop into Blender or Unity.

+6

freemocap

freemocap/freemocap · ★ 10.5K

FreeMoCap is a free, open-source motion capture system that uses ordinary cameras (not expensive marker suits) to let researchers, educators, and hobbyists capture human movement in 3D.

+5

kimodo

nv-tlabs/kimodo · ★ 3.8K

Kimodo is NVIDIA's kinematic motion diffusion model that generates high-quality 3D human and robot motion from text prompts and kinematic constraints like keyframes, end-effector positions, and 2D paths.

mixamo-llm-mocap

squall01337/mixamo-llm-mocap · ★ 374

Mixamo LLM Mocap turns any locked-camera video - filmed or AI-generated - into a clean FK animation on any Mixamo character, using a GVHMR pose estimator, a spec-driven retarget step, and a Blender MCP apply stage. It's built so an AI agent can run the entire pipeline end to end.

    openpose

    OpenPose is a real-time multi-person keypoint detection library: it detects 135 body, hand, face, and foot keypoints from images and video - the first system to detect all four jointly in real time.
