Using clips

Clips are humanoid, authored on a standard skeleton. Because rigs come back with Mixamo-compatible bone naming, most engines will retarget a clip onto a rigged character with no manual bone mapping, and doing it that way is free. See the animations guide for how, in Unity, Unreal, Godot, and three.js, and for what to do with non-humanoid rigs, which these clips will not fit.

To have us do it instead, pass the clip's url as animation_url on POST /v1/rigs. That runs on our hardware and is billed per clip.

Licensing

The catalog is CC0-1.0 (public domain dedication), sourced from Quaternius. You can use, modify, and redistribute the clips commercially with no attribution required. This is deliberate: it means clips can ship inside your game without a license audit.
