Rig and animate birds online
MonRig rigs and animates eagles, owls, parrots, chickens, ostriches, peacocks, penguins and ducks in the browser. Upload the mesh as FBX, GLB or OBJ, give it a skeleton (a starter skeleton you drag into place, a few clicked landmarks for Guided Rig, or Auto Rig's proposal), and every clip is generated from that skeleton, then baked as FBX and GLB for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Blender or three.js. Rigging and previewing is free.
Body types
Flyer (winged)
Idle hovers, Walk is slow flight and Run is fast flight with a quicker wing beat; the legs tuck in.
Starter skeletons: Bird (standard), Wyvern, Bat, Butterfly / moth, Phoenix (fire bird).
Ground bird
Walks on two legs with the body pitched forward and the head pecking in time with the steps.
Starter skeletons: Ground bird, Peacock.
Waddler (penguin)
Tiny upright steps, the whole body rocking onto each planted foot.
Animations
A new creature here starts with these 16 clips, generated for its body type:
Optional clips that suit this anatomy (each one checks the rig and says what it needs, such as a tail, wings or a head):
Clip names stay the same on every re-bake, so an Animator state that points at Walk keeps working. Each clip has dials that change how it looks, from the gait to the tail carriage.
Before you upload
A bird that flies is a flyer; a chicken or an ostrich that walks is a ground bird; a penguin or a duck that rocks from foot to foot is a waddler. One creature per file, in a neutral pose; MonRig rebuilds the upload from its geometry, so an existing skeleton in the file is replaced.
