Getting Started
Requirements
What you need to run Text To Anim.
Text To Anim generates skeletal animations for Unreal Engine 5 from a text prompt, entirely on your own machine: after a one-time model download there are no online services, accounts or API keys. The motion model is NVIDIA Kimodo. Built with Meta Llama 3.
| Engine | Unreal Engine 5.6, 5.7 or 5.8 |
| OS | Windows 10/11, 64-bit |
| GPU | NVIDIA, RTX 20 series or newer, recent driver (RTX 50: driver with CUDA 12.8+) |
| Disk | ~9.3 GB for the models (downloaded once, shared by all projects) + ~1 GB for the plugin |
| RAM | 16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended with the default memory mode |
| Internet | Only for the one-time model download |
| Engine plugins | IK Rig (part of Unreal Engine): enabled automatically with Text To Anim, used for retargeting |
The plugin is editor-only: it creates regular
AnimSequence assets, nothing of it ships in your game.An NVIDIA GPU and driver are required, also to use the CPU only memory mode. AMD and Intel GPUs, macOS and
Linux are not supported in this version.
