Text-to-3D Motion Generator (Hunyuan 1.0 wrapper)

Hi everyone, I built a UI for the new open-source Hunyuan Motion model to generate 3D animations from text: https://hy-motion.ai It generates BVH files instantly. I'm trying to bridge the gap between "cool AI demo" and "useful game dev tool". Question for 3D devs/animators: If you were to use this in production, what is the single biggest missing feature? 1. Export Pipeline: Auto-conversion to FBX for Unity/Unreal? 2. Motion Fusion: Blending multiple prompts into one long sequence? 3. Rig Variety: Support for non-humanoid skeletons? Feedback is much appreciated.

    I tried to build AI game animation generator last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40395221), a lot of people were interested, but it failed, mainly because the technology was not good enough. 1 year passed, there were a lot of developments in video/image generation. I tried it again, I think it works super well now. Actually beyond my expectation. You can generate all kinds of game character animation sprites with only 1 image. 1, upload your image of your character 2, choose the action you want 3, generate! Support basic actions like Run, Jump, Punch and…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
