## How Meshy Rigging works

From static humanoid GLB to fully weighted bone armature with baked motion clips in three simple steps.

### Upload Humanoid Mesh

Import your humanoid character as a GLB file in a clean T-pose or A-pose with clearly separated limbs.

### Configure Scale and Motion

Specify the physical height of your character in meters and optionally select a motion preset from the library.

### Export Game-Ready Asset

Download the weighted GLB model with standard Mixamo-compatible joints ready for game engines or 3D DCC tools.

## What Meshy Rigging is good at

Mixamo-compliant skeletal hierarchies, sub-minute vertex skinning, and a library of over 600 motion presets built for real-time engines.

### Mixamo-Compatible Armatures

Generates standard humanoid bone hierarchies with smooth vertex skinning weights in under 30 seconds, ready for DCC tools and engines.

### Height-Aware Calibration

Scales skeletal joint estimation from 0.1 meters upward to precisely align hip, knee, and ankle pivots across miniature, standard, and oversized characters.

### 600+ Baked Motion Presets

Bakes over 600 pre-authored motion clips directly into the GLB file, covering martial arts combos, dances, athletic actions, and idle gestures.

### Root-Motion Ready Locomotion

Includes in-place motion variants (IDs 601–696) tailored for seamless integration into real-time game character controllers and root-motion pipelines.

## What people build with Meshy Rigging

Built for indie game studios, technical animators, digital fashion artists, and web creators needing instant 3D character rigging.

### Game Character Prototyping

Indie developers and technical artists can instantly rig static character meshes and test movement mechanics in Unity or Unreal without manual weight painting.

### Virtual Fashion Showcases

Digital apparel designers and 3D lookbook creators can skin custom humanoid avatars with walking and posing presets for interactive web 3D viewers.

### Cinematic Previsualization

Filmmakers and previz animators can quickly stage multi-character battle scenes and background crowds using baked combat and reaction animations.

### Interactive Web Avatars

Web3 and social creators can produce animated 3D GLB characters with cheerful dances and expressive gestures for browser-based 3D applications.

### E-Commerce 3D Visualizers

Product marketers can animate 3D brand mascots and digital mannequins to demonstrate garments and accessories in real-time interactive storefronts.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What 3D model formats and poses work best for auto-rigging?

Submit static humanoid characters in GLB format oriented along the forward +Z axis. For optimal bone placement and vertex skinning, use clean T-pose or A-pose geometry with separated limbs and distinct fingers, keeping polygon counts between 100K and 300K.

### How does the animation preset library work?

When animation baking is enabled, you can choose from over 600 pre-authored motion clips—spanning locomotion, combat, dances, and gestures—baked directly into the exported GLB. The library includes dedicated in-place locomotion variants designed for standard game-engine root-motion systems.

### Can I export the rigged character to Blender, Unity, or Unreal Engine?

Yes. The generated armature uses standard Mixamo-compatible biped joint hierarchies and linear skin weights, making it directly compatible with Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, and web 3D viewers.

### What types of 3D models should I avoid rigging with this model?

Avoid quadrupeds, non-humanoid creatures with extra limbs, vehicles, and meshes with fused fingers or crossed limbs. Characters wearing heavy multi-layered clothing requiring dedicated cloth physics simulations are also not supported.

### Why is setting character height in meters important?

Providing an accurate physical height in meters (such as 1.7m for a standard human adult) directly calibrates the joint estimation engine, ensuring correct pivot placement for the hips, knees, and ankles across varied character proportions.
