Generates motions from text prompts with NVIDIA's Kimodo models, in a page you can open in a browser or build yourself with Docker. For animators and researchers. Kimodo is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by nvidia ## About ### What it is Kimodo is an NVIDIA Space that generates motions from a text prompt. It names two models, nvidia/Kimodo-SOMA-RP-v1 and nvidia/Kimodo-G1-RP-v1, and runs as a Docker app on a GPU at Hugging Face. You can use it in a browser with nothing to install. ### Who it suits It suits animators, game developers and researchers who want to turn a written description into a motion and see what the models produce. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Animation | Animators | Try a written description as a starting point for a motion | Type a short action and look at the result | | Game development | Game developers | Test how text prompts turn into motion | Compare results from a few different prompts | | AI research | Researchers | Try the two Kimodo models in a hosted demo | Open the Space and run a prompt | If you have no use for generated motion, you can skip it. ### Where to use it - A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face - Windows, macOS or Linux with Docker, from a local build of the Space's files | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Try a motion prompt | Animators | A generated motion from a text description | | Compare prompts | Developers | Different motions from different wording | | Run it yourself | Researchers | A local Docker copy of the app on port 7860 | ### How to set it up - A web browser, which is all the online page needs - Docker and Python with pip, for a local copy - The Python packages listed in requirements.txt, which the Dockerfile handles 1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face to use it online. Nothing needs installing. 2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub package and download the Space's files. 3. Move into the downloaded folder. 4. Build the Docker image, then run it with port 7860 published. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download nvidia/Kimodo --repo-type space --local-dir Kimodo cd Kimodo docker build -t kimodo . docker run -it -p 7860:7860 kimodo ``` ### How to use it Open the page, or port 7860 on your own machine once the container runs, and write a prompt that describes the motion you want. The app then generates a motion from that text. ### Example Type a short sentence that describes an action. The app turns the sentence into a motion that you can look at in the page. ### For newcomers and experts Open the Space page and try one short prompt first. Nothing needs installing, and the result shows what the models can do. The repository is small, with a Dockerfile, start.sh, requirements.txt and a LICENSE file, and the online copy uses l40sx1 hardware at Hugging Face. The two models named are nvidia/Kimodo-SOMA-RP-v1 and nvidia/Kimodo-G1-RP-v1. The README says little else, so the details of the output format are not documented. You write a text prompt → The app passes it to a Kimodo model → The model generates a motion → The page shows the motion ### Good to know The source gives no limits on prompt length or output format. - License: Apache 2.0 - Cost to run: none named, though the online copy runs on l40sx1 hardware at Hugging Face - Data it reaches: the text prompts you enter and the two nvidia/Kimodo models ## README ````markdown # Kimodo Generates motions from text prompts with NVIDIA's Kimodo models, in a page you can open in a browser or build yourself with Docker.
