AvatarForge — Your Character as a Unity Humanoid That Moves Like in Blender, Measured

Skava in Rigging


Which rigs does it work with?

Any armature with a skinned mesh whose deform bones form one hierarchy: UE5, Mixamo, CMU/BVH, most game rigs. The bone mapping reads the common naming conventions; any slot can be set by hand. Rigify as generated needs a deform-only hierarchy first.

What does the Humanoid avatar actually lose?

Bones without a slot (twist bones, extra spine and neck bones, metacarpals) stay in their rest pose, fingers keep only their curl, limb twist is shared out by Unity's own rule, and moved bones stop moving without Translation DoF. Check Rig lists it for your rig, bone by bone.

How much does it help?

On CMU motion capture (15 clips) the skin's typical frame went from 33.8 to 16.6 mm, better on every clip, each measured with the corrections learned from the other clips. On the UE5 mannequin with only four clips: idle 70.5 → 43.3 mm, walk 61.8 → 37.9 mm; no clip worse. Your report gives your numbers.

Does it work with animations from the Asset Store or Mixamo?

Yes: the rig learns from your character's own clips and then runs on any Humanoid animation played on it, never turning a bone further than your animations did. The measured numbers are for your own clips; for animation from elsewhere there is no original to compare with.

Will it break foot IK or hand IK?

Limb twists move no joint. In-between bones (spine, metacarpals) move the joints above them the way your animation does; tick Keep Avatar Joints and every avatar joint stays exactly where the Animator and its IK put it.

Unreal or Godot?

Unity in this version.

Does it need AI, a cloud or an account?

No.
