Animate Any Model, Anywhere
DanceXR is a powerful character model viewer and motion player for PMX/MMD and XNALara/XPS models — available on PC, Mac, Android, and Quest VR. Load your favorite models, play dance motions, and create stunning scenes with no manual bone tweaking required.

Just Load and Play
Most tools require you to manually fix bones, adjust poses, and tweak settings for every model-motion combination. DanceXR handles it automatically.
- Universal motion compatibility — VMD and BVH motions play correctly on any model, whether it was built for T-pose or A-pose
- On-the-fly bone fixes — Common bone structure issues are corrected automatically, so you spend time enjoying content, not debugging it
- Supports both PMX and XPS — Full physics, material settings, and pose support for both model formats
Alive by Default
Characters in DanceXR don’t just stand still. Without any setup, they breathe, blink, and make eye contact. Load a model and it already feels present.
- Procedural breathing and blinking
- Natural eye contact that follows you
- Idle motions and catwalk animations to keep scenes lively
- Auto Dance — characters generate dance moves in real time, driven by music beats and volume
Physics That Move
DanceXR includes a full simulation stack running in real time:
- Cloth simulation — Stable, parallel-threaded cloth physics with tearing, dragging, and mesh-to-cloth conversion
- Hair, skirt, and soft body physics — Per-model configuration for XPS and PMX models
- Particle dynamics — Flowing hair, fabric, and secondary motion that reacts to animation
Talk to Your Characters
With AI-powered voice chat, your characters respond to you in real time:
- Connect to OpenAI, a local LLM (LM Studio, Ollama, Ooba), or a remote GPU service
- Built-in TTS with 900+ voices — each character can have their own
- Automatic lipsync — faces animate as they speak
- Voice recognition — talk to them, not just type
- Customize personality, persona, and scenario through simple templates
Stunning Visuals on Every Platform
Choose the build that fits your hardware:
| Build | Focus |
|---|---|
| RT | Ray tracing — reflections, global illumination, ambient occlusion, contact shadows |
| HD | High visual quality, balanced performance |
| LW | Optimized frame rate — great for mobile and Quest |
Dress your scene with dynamic skies, volumetric clouds, stage lighting, laser effects, a full water system, mirrors, particle systems, and custom stage models.
Record at Any Resolution
The Creator Edition decouples recording from your screen and frame rate:
- Render 4K video at 60 fps — even on a 1080p monitor that can’t maintain that frame rate live
- Output standard 2D, stereoscopic 3D, VR 180, and VR 360 video
- Offline rendering means every frame is perfect
