Sources & credits

Where the motion, the character and the software in KinemIQ come from, and under which licences. The same credits are written into every exported file (GLB/glTF metadata, FBX properties, a credits file next to BVH).

Video to animation – training data

The models that turn a video into motion were trained only on data whose licences allow it:

CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database – mocap.cs.cmu.edu. The database was created with funding from NSF EIA-0196217. CMU places no restrictions on the use of the data.
EMOKINE – Christensen, J. F. et al. (2024), zenodo.org/records/7821844, licence CC BY 4.0. Used as training videos with their motion capture; no part of it is included in the app or in your exports.

Text to animation

NVIDIA Kimodo – the motion model of text to animation (our version of it: Llama 3 KinemIQ Motion). Motion model licensed by NVIDIA Corporation under the NVIDIA Open Model License (licence text and notice also in the model folder).
Meta Llama 3 – text understanding for the prepared motion descriptions. Built with Meta Llama 3. Meta Llama 3 is licensed under the Meta Llama 3 Community License, Copyright © Meta Platforms, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Licence · Acceptable use policy.
all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (sentence-transformers, web build by Xenova) – matching your text to the closest motion description, Apache License 2.0; runs with Transformers.js (Apache License 2.0).
