Nine out of ten times this works fine and the problem is solved within minutes. Whenever I run into a file type my computer can’t open, I upload it to CloudConvert and check if it can be converted into a more accessible format. It is extremely fast and reliable while still providing high quality results. supports and converts more than 200 different file formats. This is a neat tool I use on a daily basis. You can then either download your character in the T-pose with the generated rig or use it to apply any of the motion capture animations to it. This process usually takes no more than three minutes and the results are quite impressive. If you have a 3d character without a matching rig, you can simply upload it as a Wavefront (.obj) or FBX file and it will generate a basic rig for you. My favorite feature on is the built-in auto rigging algorithm. If you just want the character without any animation, search for the T-pose in the animation library, apply it to the character and you can download it in this still pose with the corresponding rig.

Most of the animations even have identical start and end frames, so you can easily create seamless loops with them. The characters with the animated rigs can be exported and downloaded as FBX or Collada files. All you need in order to access them is a free adobe account. There are more than 120 characters to choose from. They can be inspected in a very responsive and easy to use online 3d viewer to quickly preview what you’ll get without having to download it first.

It provides an extensive library with character models and corresponding motion capture animations. is an invaluable tool I use a lot for my 3d projects. No matter if you are a hobbyist or a professional 3d artist, I’m sure you’ll find value in them. In this post, I want to share a bunch of those ubiquitous online tools that can make your life easier on a daily basis.

It is the place to find inspiration, get resources, share your work and find useful instruments for specific tasks.

As a digital artist the internet is your best friend.
