A playable MetaHuman in Unreal Engine whose animation comes from a real-time AI, on CPU. That's NVIDIA MotionBricks after the localai-org folks ported it to C++/GGML: a 0.73 GB model, free, running locally without a GPU. I wrote the Unreal plugin, wired up all 15 movement styles and fixed... show more

This is cool! You might be interested in SPEAR (spotlight oral at ECCV 2026) as a lightweight general-purpose bridge to control UE characters from Python in a live UE simulation. We have examples showing how to control rigs and animation blueprints 🤓

0.73gb on cpu for real-time animation, what is the frame latency

Have you used the unity CLI with codex? I’d like to hear your thoughts on it

Sebastiano Mandalà4 days ago

The problem is that motionbrick is designed for a specific skeleton, are you retargeting?

skin-tokens.cpp is out. Auto-rigging, running locally on CPU or Vulkan, from the same group that ported Kimodo to C++. Drop in a static mesh, get back a skeleton and skin weights, export a rigged GLB. Non-humanoid meshes too, the demo ships a giraffe. With Trellis2 for the mesh and Kimodo for the motion, that is a full animated-asset pipeline running locally now. All GGML builds, no Python environment to fight. The Kimodo handoff is wired in but still rough. You can see the limbs glitch at the end of the clip. Video and project by Richard Palethorpe

Got a lot of tutorial requests for this real-time bubble simulation in Unreal. So I re-made it from scratch and recorded the full process inside Niagara Motion

The full ARDY breakdown is out. Deployed it on a 5090 with zero problems. Then pushed further — retargeted the G1 skeleton motion onto a MetaHuman with Claude Code. It works, and it looks awesome (hands still need a bit of love). Full video:

kimodo.cpp is live. NVIDIA's Kimodo, the best AI animation model right now, running natively on CPU or Vulkan. Type a sentence, get character animation, locally on your own machine. Before, you needed the whole PyTorch and CUDA stack standing up before you could generate a single motion. Now it is a native C++/GGML build that loads GGUF models and comes with a local web demo. No Python environment to fight. It gives you SMPL-X, and from there you retarget onto pretty much any skeleton you want, like Mixamo. Great piece of work Richard Palethorpe

Monster Hunter X Smash Bros! I recreated SSBU with Welly in Unreal Engine and put in the Hunter. I did the programming, design, animation (including copying SSBU animations), and about half the VFX. It was a lot of work, but it was fun!

Most C Programmers don't have a clue as to how the CPU works. Here is a lecture from my course on the C Language that introduces how to visualise the CPU as a C (or general software) Programmer.... More Details are at: Being able to model the behaviour of CPU provides a solid base to reason about your code. The summary is - - The CPU is a state machine which maintains it's states in registers. - It has busses to memory for requesting data/instruction read/writes. - Interrupts to attend to events. I discuss this and more in my course on the C Language.

SOMEONE IS BUILDING GTA 6 WITH A LOOP OF AI AGENTS AND JUST SWITCHED TO UNREAL ENGINE ON DAY 7 One full day of setup. Installed Unreal, fought it onto a Mac build, migrated the project and got a scene rendering with real lighting. First time it actually looks like GTA instead of a prototype of it.
