FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Hunyuan Motion

Everything you need to know about AI text-to-motion generation.

Hunyuan Motion (HY-Motion 1.0) is Tencent's open-source AI model for text-to-3D human motion generation. It uses a billion-parameter Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture combined with Flow Matching to convert natural language text descriptions into realistic 3D skeleton animations. Simply describe the motion you want in English or Chinese, and Hunyuan Motion generates a corresponding SMPL/SMPLH format animation that can be exported to FBX for use in Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, and other 3D applications.
Yes, Hunyuan Motion is completely free and open-source. You can download the model weights from GitHub or Hugging Face and run it locally at no cost. Commercial use is supported under the license terms — please review the specific license on the official GitHub repository for detailed guidelines. There are no subscription fees or per-generation costs when you run the model locally.
The full HY-Motion 1.0 model (1B parameters) requires approximately 24GB+ of GPU VRAM. Recommended GPUs include NVIDIA RTX 4090, A100, or similar high-end cards. For systems with less GPU memory, the HY-Motion 1.0 Lite version (460M parameters) is available and requires around 14GB+ VRAM. The model runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS with Python 3.10+.
Hunyuan Motion supports over 200 motion categories across 6 major classes: locomotion (walking, running, jumping), daily activities (sitting, standing, gestures), sports actions (kicking, throwing, punching), dance and performance, interactive motions (opening doors, picking up objects), and emotional expressions. The model was trained on 3,000+ hours of diverse motion capture data to ensure broad coverage.
Hunyuan Motion outputs animations in SMPL/SMPLH skeleton format, which can be exported to standard FBX or BVH formats. For Blender, simply import the FBX file and apply the animation to your character rig. For Unity, import the FBX and use Humanoid retargeting to apply the motion to your character. For Unreal Engine, use the IK Retargeter to map the skeleton to your character blueprint.
Yes! Hunyuan Motion has full bilingual support for both Chinese and English text prompts. The model uses a dual-encoder architecture with CLIP and Qwen3-8B to understand complex motion descriptions in both languages. This makes it ideal for teams working in Chinese-speaking markets or international studios with multilingual workflows.
Hunyuan Motion offers several advantages over traditional motion capture: 1) Cost — it's free vs. $4,000-$15,000+ for mocap equipment. 2) Speed — generate animations in seconds vs. hours/days of studio time. 3) Accessibility — no specialized equipment or trained actors needed. 4) Iteration — easily modify prompts and regenerate without re-recording. However, for extremely precise or nuanced performances, professional motion capture still has its place. Many studios use Hunyuan Motion for prototyping and mocap for final production.
You can download Hunyuan Motion model weights from two official sources: 1) GitHub Repository — includes code, documentation, and links to weights. 2) Hugging Face Model Hub — direct download of pre-trained weights. Both the full 1B parameter model and the Lite 460M version are available.
