Poppop AI - Auto-Retarget Character Animations in Blender

Does Poppop AI work with Unreal Engine skeletons, or only Blender?

Poppop AI supports UE4 and UE5 skeletons and runs as a Blender add-on, so the retargeting happens in Blender. You can then export the animated character for use in Unreal Engine or other game engines. The add-on itself requires Blender 4.1.x or later.

Can I use Poppop AI to retarget motion capture data to a character model with a non-standard skeleton?

If your skeleton is not one of the built-in types (SMPL, SMPL-X, UE4, UE5, VRoid, EasyMocap, Rokoko, or Mixamo), Poppop AI offers a custom skeleton retargeting service at $19 per file with a 48-hour turnaround. You would submit your skeleton structure to their team for manual retargeting.

What animation presets come with Poppop AI out of the box?

The add-on includes 15 built-in animation presets covering walking, running, dancing, and combat movements. These presets can be applied directly to supported skeletons with one click, so you can generate animations without importing external motion capture data.

Does Poppop AI export animations in a format ready for web or game engines?

Yes, the add-on produces Three.js ready exports, which makes it suitable for web-based 3D applications. For game engine use, you would export from Blender in your chosen format after the animation has been retargeted.
