- Dec 30, 2025: 🤗 We released the inference code and pretrained models of HY-Motion 1.0. Please give it a try via our HuggingFace Space and our Official Site!
HY-Motion 1.0 is a series of text-to-3D human motion generation models based on Diffusion Transformer (DiT) and Flow Matching. It allows developers to generate skeleton-based 3D character animations from simple text prompts, which can be directly integrated into various 3D animation pipelines. This model series is the first to scale DiT-based text-to-motion models to the billion-parameter level, achieving significant improvements in instruction-following capabilities and motion quality over existing open-source models.
-
State-of-the-Art Performance: Achieves state-of-the-art performance in both instruction-following capability and generated motion quality.
-
Billion-Scale Models: We are the first to successfully scale DiT-based models to the billion-parameter level for text-to-motion generation. This results in superior instruction understanding and following capabilities, outperforming comparable open-source models.
-
Advanced Three-Stage Training: Our models are trained using a comprehensive three-stage process:
-
Large-Scale Pre-training: Trained on over 3,000 hours of diverse motion data to learn a broad motion prior.
-
High-Quality Fine-tuning: Fine-tuned on 400 hours of curated, high-quality 3D motion data to enhance motion detail and smoothness.
-
Reinforcement Learning: Utilizes Reinforcement Learning from human feedback and reward models to further refine instruction-following and motion naturalness.

HY-Motion 1.0 Series
| Model | Description | Date | Size | Huggingface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HY-Motion-1.0 | Standard Text to Motion Generation Model | 2025-12-30 | 1.0B | Download |
| HY-Motion-1.0-Lite | Lightweight Text to Motion Generation Model | 2025-12-30 | 0.46B | Download |
HY-Motion 1.0 supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.
First, install PyTorch via the official site. Then install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtPlease follow the instructions in ckpts/README.md to download the necessary model weights.
We provide a script for local batch inference, suitable for processing large amounts of prompts.
# HY-Motion-1.0
python3 local_infer.py --model_path ckpts/tencent/HY-Motion-1.0
# HY-Motion-1.0-Lite
python3 local_infer.py --model_path ckpts/tencent/HY-Motion-1.0-LiteCommon Parameters:
--input_text_dir: Directory containing.txtor.jsonprompt files.--output_dir: Directory to save results (default:output/local_infer).--disable_duration_est: Disable LLM-based duration estimation.--disable_rewrite: Disable LLM-based prompt rewriting.--prompt_engineering_host/--prompt_engineering_model_path: (Optional) Host address / local checkpoint for the Duration Prediction & Prompt Rewrite Module.- Download: You can download the Duration Prediction & Prompt Rewrite Module from Here.
- Note: If you do not set these parameter, you must also set
--disable_duration_estand--disable_rewrite. Otherwise, the script will raise an error due to host unavailable.
You can host a Gradio web interface on your local machine for interactive visualization:
python3 gradio_app.pyAfter running the command, open your browser and visit http://localhost:7860
You can use your own VRM character model for the web preview by setting the HYMOTION_PREVIEW_VRM environment variable:
export HYMOTION_PREVIEW_VRM="path/to/your/model.vrm"
python3 gradio_app.pyNotes:
- The VRM file will be base64-encoded and embedded in the HTML preview. Large VRM files may increase initial loading time.
- VRM's MToon shaders are automatically converted to standard materials for web compatibility.
- Coordinate system differences between SMPL and VRM are automatically handled.
You can override the default FBX template for motion retargeting by setting the HYMOTION_TEMPLATE_FBX environment variable:
export HYMOTION_TEMPLATE_FBX="path/to/your/template.fbx"
python3 local_infer.py --model_path ckpts/tencent/HY-Motion-1.0A utility script is provided to convert VRM files to FBX format:
python3 scripts/vrm_to_fbx.py input.vrm output.fbxSupported backends (auto-detected in order of preference):
- Blender (requires
blenderon PATH) - Assimp CLI (requires
assimpon PATH) - pyassimp (Python library)
