Before rigging
Start With a Character You’ve Already Made
A static humanoid GLB with clearly defined arms and legs is a useful starting point. Choose your own eligible model or upload one.
AI AUTO RIGGING
Make Your 3D Character Ready to Move
You have a 3D character. Now give it a skeleton and bring it one step closer to animation. Upload a humanoid GLB or choose an eligible model you have already created. Automatic rigging adds a skeleton and applies a starter animation, so you can spend less time on manual bone setup and move on to your project.

FROM STATIC MODEL TO RIGGED ASSET
See What Auto Rigging Can Do for Your Character
A static character mesh needs a suitable skeleton before it can be animated. This workflow creates an initial rig and applies one starter animation preset. Review the processed file in your 3D software; the viewer here previews the model but does not play its animation.
Skeleton and mesh binding
Add a Skeleton Without Building One Manually
The rigging job attempts to create a skeletal structure and bind the character mesh to it. Bone placement and deformation quality depend on the model.
Starter animation
Continue With a Starter Animation
The current workflow applies one preset animation. Download the processed file to inspect its movement in compatible animation software; the on-page viewer does not play animations.
These descriptions explain the workflow and do not depict a verified before-and-after generation. Results vary by character.

How to Auto Rig a 3D Model
01
Upload Your 3D Character
Upload a GLB file up to 50 MB, or choose an eligible completed character from your account. A humanoid with clearly separated arms, legs and torso is a better candidate.
02
Start Automatic Rigging
Confirm you have permission to use the model and submit the job. The tool analyzes the body structure, creates a skeleton, binds the mesh and applies a starter animation.
03
Inspect and Download
When processing is complete, inspect the result in the 3D viewer. Download GLB or FBX and continue in compatible 3D software.
LESS SETUP, MORE CREATING
Spend Less Time Setting Up Bones. More Time Creating.
01
Turn Static Models Into Rigged Characters
Add an automatic skeleton to a compatible humanoid model and take a first step toward animation.
02
Skip Repetitive Manual Setup
Get an initial rig without placing and assigning every bone manually. Refine the result when your project needs it.
03
Keep Using Your Existing Character
Upload a GLB you already own or select an eligible model in your account.
04
Get a Starter Animation
The workflow includes one preset animation to help you inspect the result in compatible software. The workspace has no animation selector.
05
Continue in Familiar 3D Tools
Download GLB or FBX and continue in compatible animation, modeling or game development software. Check imported bones and scale.
06
Work From One Place
Select an eligible saved model from your account and continue without uploading it again.
WHO IT’S FOR
Who Is AI Auto Rigging For?
01
Indie Game Creators
Get an initial character rig to experiment with movement before spending time on every bone manually.
02
3D Character Artists
Take a completed static humanoid model toward an animatable asset with an automatic skeleton.
03
Animation Hobbyists
Try an automatic rig before learning a full manual workflow, then refine the result as needed.
04
Creators Using AI-Generated Models
Submit an eligible humanoid GLB made with a 3D generator, provided its geometry and body structure are suitable.
05
Game Modders and Personal Projects
Experiment with compatible humanoid characters for prototypes. Check the skeleton, animation and format compatibility before using them.
PREPARE YOUR MODEL
What Makes a Good Character for Auto Rigging?
01
Use a Humanoid Character
Two arms, two legs and a recognizable torso are easier candidates than vehicles, furniture or abstract objects.
02
Start With a Clear Pose
A T-pose or A-pose can make limbs easier to identify. Leave visible space between arms and torso; crossed or overlapping limbs can be harder to process.
03
Keep the Model Complete
Include the character’s body parts and avoid ambiguous anatomy that may make bone placement difficult.
04
Use a Properly Oriented Model
Correct orientation, suitable textures and manageable geometry can help. Complex outfits, oversized accessories and tangled geometry may reduce quality.
05
Check the Result Before Use
Review elbows, knees, shoulders and other joints in compatible animation software. Automatic rigging does not eliminate every deformation issue.
YOUR DOWNLOADS

What is AI auto rigging?
AI auto rigging automatically attempts to add a skeleton to a 3D character and bind its mesh to the skeleton, reducing manual setup before animation.
Can I automatically rig my own 3D model?
Yes. Upload your own GLB character if you own it or have permission to process it. You can also choose an eligible completed model from your Create3DOnline account.
What kind of 3D characters work best?
Humanoid characters with two arms, two legs and clearly defined body parts are the best candidates. Unclear anatomy, overlapping limbs or unusual body structures can reduce accuracy.
Can I rig a character without knowing how to use Blender?
Yes. Submit a supported GLB and run the automatic process without manually building a skeleton in Blender. Some results may still need adjustment in dedicated 3D software.
Does the tool add a skeleton automatically?
The rigging process attempts to create a skeletal structure and bind your character mesh. Accuracy depends on the model’s proportions, pose and geometry.
Does AI auto rigging also animate my character?
Yes. The current workflow applies one preset animation during rigging. It does not provide a selectable animation library or custom motion controls.
Can I choose walking, running or other animations?
No. The workspace currently uses one preset animation and does not offer an action selector. Download the result to continue editing or animating it in compatible software.
What file formats can I upload?
The rigging workspace accepts GLB files up to 50 MB. OBJ, STL and FBX are not supported as direct inputs here.
Can I download my rigged model as FBX?
Successful rigging jobs provide GLB and FBX download options when the corresponding output files are available. Import them into compatible 3D software.
Can I use the rigged character in Unity or Unreal Engine?
Compatible GLB or FBX assets may be imported into supported game development workflows. Check bone structure, animation import, scale, materials and retargeting requirements.
Will auto rigging work on animals or monsters?
This workflow is designed primarily for humanoid characters. Four-legged animals, non-humanoid creatures and unusual skeletons may fail or produce poor results.
Does my character need to be in a T-pose?
A T-pose is not required, but a T-pose or A-pose can make limbs easier to identify. Crossed arms or limbs held against the body may be harder to process.
Will auto rigging change my character’s appearance?
The goal is to preserve the character while adding a skeleton and animation. Mesh deformation, texture changes or unexpected joint behavior can occur, so inspect the result.
Can I use AI-generated 3D characters?
Yes, if the character is a compatible humanoid GLB. Good geometry and recognizable body structure improve the chances of a useful result.
How many credits does AI auto rigging cost?
Each rigging job costs 100 credits. You need sufficient credits to start. Rigging is charged separately from any previous model generation.
Is AI auto rigging free?
No. This is a credit-based processing tool. The required amount is shown in the workspace before you start.
How long does automatic rigging take?
Processing time varies with your model and the current queue. The workspace returns a result when the job completes.
What happens if my rigging job fails?
Supported processing failures and timeouts use the existing job recovery process, which is designed to refund credits for a failed task. Contact support if you notice a discrepancy.
Will the result be ready for a finished game or animation?
Not necessarily. This is a starting point, not a production-ready guarantee. You may need to adjust skin weights, joint deformation, animation, materials or compatibility settings.
Are my uploaded 3D models public?
Uploading for rigging does not automatically publish a model in a public gallery. The file is sent for processing; only submit models you have rights to use.
