Description
afk.ai offers an intuitive, browser-based AI auto-rigging service designed for 3D artists and game developers. It simplifies the complex process of rigging and animating 3D models, making it accessible without requiring any software installation. Users can upload a wide range of 3D models, including characters, creatures, and robots, in formats such as GLB, FBX, glTF, OBJ, STL, PLY, DAE, USDZ, or VRM.

The core functionality of afk.ai involves an AI model that automatically places joints and paints skin weights on the uploaded 3D model. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, streamlining the rigging workflow significantly. Once rigged, users can preview their models with over 170 pre-made animations, ranging from human actions like 'Backflip' and 'Charleston' to creature movements like 'Dragon flight' and 'Spider walk'. The platform supports diverse body types, offering fifteen skeleton templates for various creatures, including knights, foxes, kangaroos, frogs, ghosts, and even props.
For developers, afk.ai provides an API that allows for programmatic rigging of 3D models at a competitive price of 5¢ per rig, including all animations for the specific body type. The API also supports generating rigged and animated 3D characters directly from a single image for 25¢. This developer-focused offering includes a CLI and an MCP server, enabling integration into custom workflows and AI agents. The service offers 3 free rigs per month, with additional rigs available via prepaid credits that never expire.
Export options include GLB or FBX formats, complete with the model, its skeleton, and selected animations, ready for direct import into popular game engines and 3D software like Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, and Three.js. The animations and skeleton templates provided are CC0 (public domain), allowing for commercial use without attribution. afk.ai emphasizes user privacy, stating that uploaded models are only sent to servers for rigging and are not stored, sold, or shared afterward.
