Animate different character skeletons with a single model
UniMate is an animation technology that allows for animating different skeletal structures using a single model. Presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026, this study aims to standardize character animation processes.
Updates
- October 25, 2026: Stars 1,166 → 2,183.
What you get
- Animates different skeletal structures such as humans, animals, and objects with a single artificial intelligence model.
- Provides comprehensive animation support with the large-scale UniML3D dataset.
- Accelerates the workflow by standardizing character animation processes.

How can I animate character models with different skeletal structures in a standard format using the UniMate project? Explain the animation generation process step-by-step by utilizing the UniML3D dataset and pre-trained checkpoints provided by the project.
Repository: https://github.com/Friedrich-M/UniMate. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
