feat(kimodo): hand shapes (fist, grip, point, open) for generated motion - #1162
Kimodo's model drives no finger joints. Its 30-joint skeleton has only the wrist plus thumb and middle end markers, so every finger holds a relaxed pose for the whole clip. I measured it on a Kimodo clip made from "clench both fists, then open the hands wide and waves": the end markers moved under 2°, and the finger joints not at all. The hands therefore never open or close.
HandShapes writes a finger shape onto Kimodo's 77-joint skeleton before the retarget. The existing retargeter then carries it to any rig whose fingers it maps, including UniRig rigs whose fingers the retargeter finds by position.
auto (the default) picks a shape for each prompt segment, read from the motion's result.json:
Words in the prompt
Shape
punch, fist, box, clench
fist
grab, hold, carry, pick, lift, climb
grip
point
point
wave, open, spread, clap
open
"with the right hand" shapes only that hand. Changes between segments blend over 0.2 s.
relaxed (Kimodo's own hands), open, fist, grip or point applies that shape to the whole clip.
Each curl is measured from Kimodo's flat rest hand, about each joint's bend axis: the cross product of the rest bone direction and the palm normal, oriented so the palm side is the side the thumb sits on.
Surfaces: a Hands picker in the panel (saved between sessions), CLI --hands, and MCP hands. The panel status and the MCP report (hand_shapes) say which shapes were written. The QtMesh T2M backend refuses the option.
Test plan
HandShapes* (6): the prompt-word table, keys from the metadata, a fist bending toward the palm, point keeping the index straight, the blend while Relaxed keeps the motion's own pose, and the cases where there is nothing to do
Kimodo and retarget suites still pass
Rendered on a TRELLIS.2 orc: auto (fist), point and grip against the relaxed baseline
GUI: pick a shape in Hands, generate, and check the fingers
Added hand-shape controls for Kimodo animations, with options for automatic, relaxed, open, fist, grip, or pointing hands. Automatic mode selects shapes from prompt details and can target a specific hand.
Hand shapes blend between motion segments, and the selected shapes are reflected in generation results.
Added hand-shape selection to the animation controls and CLI options.
Expanded Kimodo documentation with hand-shape guidance and native C++ runtime details.
Kimodo drives no finger joints: every finger holds a relaxed pose for the
whole clip (its thumb/middle end markers move < 2 deg through "clench fists,
then open the hands"), so hands never open or close. HandShapes writes a
finger shape onto the SOMA-77 fingers before the retarget, so any rig the
retarget maps fingers on gets it (UniRig fingers found by position too).
- auto (default): from each prompt segment in result.json -- punch/fist ->
fist, grab/hold/carry -> grip, point -> point, wave/open/clap -> open;
"with the right hand" shapes that hand only; changes blend over 0.2 s.
- relaxed / open / fist / grip / point for the whole clip.
- Curls are absolute from SOMA's flat rest hand about each joint's bend axis
(cross(bone, palm normal), palm side = the thumb's side).
- Panel "Hands" picker (persisted), CLI --hands, MCP hands; the status /
report says which shapes were written.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Kimodo now supports hand-shape modes that can be selected in the UI, CLI, or MCP. Automatic mode derives timed shapes from prompt metadata. The selected shapes are applied to motion copies before retargeting, and application results report hand-shape labels.
Changes: Kimodo hand-shape flow
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Hand-shape keys and motion application src/AIMotion/HandShapes.h, src/AIMotion/HandShapes.cpp, src/AIMotion/HandShapes_test.cpp, src/CMakeLists.txt, tests/CMakeLists.txt
Defines the supported shapes and modes, derives keys from prompts and metadata, and applies interpolated rotations to finger joints. Tests cover prompt selection, shape application, blending, and no-op cases.
Scene application and saved UI mode src/AIMotion/MotionSceneApply.h, src/AIMotion/MotionSceneApply.cpp, src/AIMotion/KimodoController.h, src/AIMotion/KimodoController.cpp, qml/PropertiesPanel.qml
Scene application shapes motion copies before retargeting and reports shape labels. The controller persists the selected mode, and the UI provides a hand-mode picker.
CLI, MCP, and documentation src/AIMotion/AIMotionCLI.h, src/AIMotion/AIMotionCLI.cpp, src/CLIPipeline.cpp, src/MCPServer.cpp, docs/KIMODO.md, CLAUDE.md
The CLI and MCP accept and validate hand modes, reject them for QtMesh T2M, and include applied shapes in results. Documentation describes the hand options and Kimodo runtime details.
Hand shapes can differ from the requested selection, and unsupported saved motions can silently retain unchanged hands. These are bounded issues with relaxed or fixed-mode workarounds; merging requires owner awareness and follow-up.

- Around line 130-144: The shapeHands function currently returns an empty result

The midpoint assertions accept an incorrect blend weight, and the fixture has no left hand. Compare the midpoint with the expected rotation and add a mirrored left-hand fixture that checks curl direction. Otherwise, blend-weight and left-hand axis regressions can pass.

Validate segment durations before applying auto shapes.
When a saved motion has consecutive segments with missing or zero durations, their keys share a time. Earlier shapes can disappear, while the last transition starts from a shape that was never active. Report invalid timing instead of silently applying these keys.

Avoid shaping hands for unrelated actions.
In auto mode, “a person stretches” selects Open for both hands, and “a person pulls away” selects Grip. Neither prompt requests a hand shape. Require hand-specific context for these ambiguous verbs so unrelated motions retain relaxed hands.

Report when a requested hand shape cannot be applied.
If a saved motion has no SOMA finger joints, selecting fist leaves the hands unchanged. The clip is still reported as successful, without a hand-shape warning. Propagate the failure reason so users can distinguish this case from an intentional relaxed shape.
