Kimodo is an editor-time motion authoring plugin for Unreal Engine 5.7. It helps generate skeletal animation from text prompts. Preview the result in the Unreal Editor, retarget it to a configured target skeleton, and bake it into standard UAnimSequence assets.

This release is a Win64-only Unreal Editor plugin.

Kimodo uses a self-hosted Modal worker. There is no hosted inference service, no publisher account system, and no bundled local ML runtime. Users deploy the included worker source into their own Modal account, provide their own Hugging Face read token during setup, and are responsible for their own Modal compute usage and billing.
