Real-World Use Cases
Animotion empowers creators across industries to animate with ease. Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0, see how this tool transforms workflows by automating 3D motion creation.
Rapid Character Prototyping
Bring characters to life in minutes
Game developers can prototype realistic character moves without manual animation. Describe in-game actions (e.g. "Soldier draws sword and attacks") and instantly get smooth combat animations. This drastically cuts down development time and costs by avoiding lengthy motion-capture or keyframing.
Cinematic Previsualization
Storyboard scenes on the fly
Filmmakers and VFX artists can draft complex action sequences quickly. Type scene directions (e.g. "Hero leaps over car, then rolls") to generate a rough 3D animation. This speeds up previsualization and helps block scenes before expensive mocap or on-set shooting.
Immersive Training Simulations
Interactive scenarios in VR
Trainers, educators, and designers can create lifelike avatars for simulation. Generate workout routines, dance lessons or safety drills with simple prompts. The animated 3D models can be dropped into VR/AR environments to make training modules or educational content more engaging.
Animated Advertising Content
Engage audiences with 3D ads
Marketers and e-commerce brands can showcase products with dynamic animations. For example, animate a character demonstrating a product feature from a text prompt. This allows creation of eye-catching 3D ads, social media clips or AR filters without the expense of live actors or animators.
Animotion Performance
High-fidelity animations with enterprise-level efficiency. Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 technology.
Text-Driven 3D Motion
Animotion converts simple natural language prompts into complete skeleton-based 3D character animations, enabling motion generation without manual keyframing.
Billion-Parameter Scale
Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 billion-parameter Diffusion Transformer (DiT) model, Animotion achieves high-quality instruction-following and smooth motion synthesis at scale.
Extensive Motion Coverage
Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0, trained on over 3,000 hours of diverse motion data, Animotion supports more than 200 motion categories across locomotion, actions, and interactions.
Export to Standard Formats
Generated animations can be exported in standard formats like FBX, BVH, and GLTF, making them compatible with Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine and other 3D pipelines.
Open-Source and Commercial Ready
The underlying Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 model is released open-source with commercial use support, allowing developers to deploy locally and integrate into professional workflows.
Bilingual Prompt Support
The model natively understands both English and Chinese text prompts, providing broad language flexibility for global users.

More Than Just Words: Features That Matter
Animotion brings text-driven animation into the mainstream. Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 technology, its advanced AI understands complex prompts to produce smooth 3D movements that can be directly used in games, films, and VR.
Lightning-Fast Generation
Generate complete character animations in seconds. Animotion's optimized models run quickly even on standard hardware, enabling rapid iteration without long rendering times.
Physically Realistic Motion
Built with billions of parameters and reinforcement learning, Animotion ensures natural human movements. Weight shifts, balance and smooth transitions are modeled to eliminate common artifacts like foot sliding.

Extensive Action Library
Access 200+ built-in motion categories from walking and jumping to martial arts and dance. You can even chain actions with multi-step prompts for complex scenes or combat sequences.
Auto Retargeting & Export
One-click retargeting maps each animation to any character rig (SMPL skeleton). Export your animations in standard formats (FBX, BVH, GLTF) ready for use in Unity, Unreal, Blender and more.
Cloud Motion Library
Save, manage and reuse your animations in the cloud. Build a library of custom motions for future projects without managing local files.

Animotion is fully open-source and free to try. Our web playground requires no login for basic use, making it easy for anyone to start creating 3D animations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Animotion and how does it work?▼
Animotion is an advanced text-to-3D motion generation platform powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0. Simply type a description of an action and the model generates a corresponding full-body skeletal animation. It uses a billion-parameter transformer trained on diverse motion data to produce smooth, realistic character motion from natural language prompts.
Is hy-motion.ai free to use?▼
Yes! We offer a free online playground demo. You can start generating animations with a free account using limited credits. The demo provides basic output quality and daily credit limits. Upgrade to a paid plan to unlock higher credit allowances, priority access, and higher-resolution exports.
Do I need to create an account to use it?▼
No login is required for the free demo. You can begin generating animations immediately. Creating an account allows you to save and manage your generated motions and access more credits and features.
What kind of animations can I create with text?▼
You can generate a wide range of human motions, including walking, running, jumping, dancing, combat actions, and more. Animotion understands over 200 motion categories and can chain multiple actions in sequence, e.g., 'walk forward, wave, then jump.' Prompts can be written in English or Chinese for best results.
How do I use the animations in my projects?▼
After generation, animations can be downloaded in standard 3D formats such as FBX, BVH, and GLTF. Our platform also offers automatic retargeting to neutral skeletons or common engine rigs, making import into tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender seamless.
Are the generated motions realistic?▼
Yes. Powered by Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 technology, Animotion is trained on thousands of hours of motion data and optimized with physical constraints, resulting in animations with natural timing, balanced weight shifts, and minimal artifacts like foot sliding. The output motion quality is significantly improved compared to earlier models.
Can I use the animations for commercial projects?▼
Absolutely. The underlying Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 model is released under open-source Apache 2.0 license, allowing you to use, modify, and distribute animations generated on our platform for personal or commercial projects without restriction.
What languages are supported for text prompts?▼
The model is trained on both English and Chinese text data, allowing it to interpret prompts written in either language. You can describe your desired motion in simple or complex instructions in either language.
Does it support facial expressions or finger movement?▼
Currently, Animotion focuses on generating full-body skeletal motion and gross motor movements such as walking, running, dancing, and combat. It does not yet support detailed facial expressions or intricate finger articulation in its generated animations.
Can I use the output in Unity or Unreal Engine?▼
Yes. While the underlying Tencent HY-Motion outputs standard motion formats, our platform provides a 'Pro' conversion workflow that automatically retargets animations to common engine rigs like Unity Humanoid or Unreal Engine 5 Mannequin. This allows you to use the files directly in game engines with minimal setup.
