Create - AnimateMesh

Use Your Model

Rig, paint, preview, and export in one workspace.

Upload a mesh, walk through the skeleton steps, then test animations and download the finished result.

Create works best with one clear mesh at a time. Keep the upload clean, then refine the skeleton and paint passes in order for the fastest workflow.

Load Model

Upload one clean mesh or open a sample model to start the workflow.

upload Upload help

Reference model

Use a sample asset when you want to test rigging, painting, or export without uploading a new mesh.

Weighting Algorithm

help

This decides how the live preview reacts while you move joints and adjust bone strength. If the preview looks wrong, check this first.

Hardcoded uses weights that were set up manually for this template. This option usually will not be available for models you import yourself.

Display Settings

Control what you see in the viewport while you place and inspect joints.

Show bone names on hover See joint names as you move over the skeleton. Highlight selected bone influence help Make the active bone stand out more clearly in the heatmap preview.

Editing Settings

Choose how bone movement behaves while you adjust the skeleton.

Position by mesh volume Place the selected bone by dragging toward the mesh instead of only using the gizmo. Mirror Left/Right Joints Keep matching left and right bones synchronized as you edit. Move Bone Independently Move the selected bone without automatically dragging its child chain.

Skeleton Actions

Use these actions when you want to reset or clean up the whole rig, not just the selected bone.

Step 6

Test Animations

Preview clips on the finished rig, add your own animations, then export the final GLB when the motion looks right.

Create animation

Build a custom keyframe animation by posing bones directly in the 3D viewport.

Animation Creator

Create Animation

Select a bone, pose it at the current frame, then press I to insert a keyframe. Repeat to build motion.
