Procedural, not generative: how MonRig animates a creature
MonRig is not a video model guessing motion. It computes every frame from your creature's anatomy, and that is why you can control it.

News and a changelog
This page. Every change to MonRig, dated, with an RSS feed.
Three new tools for AI agents
Agents connected over MCP can now set the orientation, rename or duplicate clips, and edit a creature's public listing.
Safer uploads and two-step sign-in
Uploaded files are rebuilt from their numbers; accounts can use an authenticator app.
Beam attack and claw flurries stay on their feet
The beam braces instead of sinking into the floor; long claw lunges walk forward.
Magic, Victory and Spawn rebuilt
The three showpiece clips now use the whole body, legs included.
Attacks with real footwork
Tail whips, pounces, spin kicks and lunges now step, leap and land instead of sliding.
Giraffes walk like giraffes
A giraffe's walk, gallop and nodding neck, available as dials for other long-legged creatures.
Hits and deaths look physical
Hurt catches the hit with a step back; the death animations fall like bodies.
Name your clips anything
Rename any clip with ✎, in any language; the gallery shows which base clip it came from.
Setup goes one step at a time
The Setup tab now guides you: model, orientation, body plan, then fine-tuning.
Show where your creature is used
Add up to three “Used in …” links to a published creature, and sort the gallery by newest.
Eight everyday moves for humanoids
Emotes, crouching, throwing, carrying, pushing, dragging, climbing and swimming.
Every bake now includes a GLB
A GLB with the texture inside comes with every FBX, ready for three.js and Godot.
Hoppers really hop
Kangaroos, rabbits and frogs get their own Walk, Run and Run2.
Bouncier movement: a Hop dial, and Run2 as a real bound
Walks can hop, and the Run2 bound now has flight, landing and nine dials.
Feature requests: suggest and vote
A public board for ideas, with votes and a status for every request.
Choose which animations visitors see
On a published creature you decide which clips appear, and in which order.
The Skin tab: paint the weights of your baked creature
Fix the skinning by hand, with a brush, on the real weights of your bake.
Auto rig proposes your markers
Auto rig v2 suggests where the guided-rig markers go. You check them, nudge them and fit.
