We just launched an end-to-end character animation platform! 🔥
Since launching the HEAT Beta in March, we’ve been working closely with our earliest users, gathering feedback, and enhancing the platform. Today, we're excited to present the result of those efforts.
What’s new in this launch? Keep reading to find out ⬇️
More Features, Lower Price 🤑
Free Tier: includes 25 animations and full access to the platform.

HEAT AI Auto-Rig 🦴
Our long-awaited AI Auto-Rigger is finally here! No matter the shape or size of your character, we’ve made rigging easier and faster. And yes, we rig hands 🖖 Rig your own character or…

Text-Generate New Characters 🐸
We’ve worked with Luma Labs to integrate their powerful text-to-character generator, Genie. In less than one minute you can turn an idea in your head into a rigged, animated character ready for any game or project.

Character Storage 🧑🤝🧑
We save your rigged characters so you can revisit them anytime and seamlessly apply any animation from our library. Experiment with animations on your characters without the hassle of re-rigging or going in-engine.

1,000+ Animations 💃
Our MoCap library is stacked with everything from run cycles, idles, combat moves - you name it, we’ve got it. If we don’t have it, tell us and we’ll add it!
Going forward we’re placing a strong emphasis on launching the unique movements of dancers, performers, and other movement artists.

Upload and Visualize Your Own Motion Capture Data 🤳
Using camera-based capture systems, hardware suits, or animating in programs like iClone? HEAT is perfect for storing your motion data. Upload your files and visualize them directly on our platform or in-engine. You can also batch-upload animations!

Use Your MoCap Data with HEAT Plug-Ins 🔌
HEAT plug-ins are available for Unreal Engine, Blender, Unity, and Daz Studio, with a Maya plug-in coming soon.

Try HEAT! 😇
We’ve built HEAT to be used by everyone from animation noobs to full-fledged game studios and production houses. More than anything we want to make sure HEAT is helpful for you.
