The MoLab interface showing motion generation and in-betweening features.

Description
#

MotionLab (or simply MoLab) is a toolset designed to facilitate the generation and automatic in-betweening of human animation. It was developed as part of the Kollani research project, which focused on improving workflows of animation studios by integrating AI technologies.

It features:

  • Text To Motion: Describe the motion you want to see
  • In-Betweening: Input your keyposes and let AI fill the gaps
  • Motion Composition: Compose sequences and generate transitions

Technologies
#

  • PyTorch: Used in the inference worker for running the motion generation models.
  • CondMDI: The base motion generation project by Cohan et al. that MoLab builds upon.
  • FastAPI: Used for the backend API to handle inference requests.
  • Godot: The main MoLab interface and interaction logic is built using Godot, providing both a desktop and web interface.
  • Maya+PyQt: A Plugin allows inference from within the Maya environment, enabling artists to work directly with their existing tools.
