Every official MotionBricks GIF, in one place

The README gallery, grouped the way NVIDIA grouped it: teasers, single locomotion styles, style mixtures, smart objects, and the related-work loops. Each image links back to the NVIDIA-hosted original — nothing on this site is a mirror or a re-host.

The one fact that breaks most attempts

These GIFs are Git LFS objects. A URL like raw.githubusercontent.com/NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl/main/motionbricks/assets/gifs/teaser_animation.gif returns a ~1 KB LFS pointer file — valid text, not an image — which is why so many "motion bricks render" and icon links found online are broken embeds. The working image URL uses the media host instead: media.githubusercontent.com/media/NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl/main/motionbricks/assets/gifs/<file>.gif. Every Open original link on this page uses the media domain, and so do the <img> embeds.

Same rule one level up: the parent repo skips MotionBricks checkpoints on a plain clone, so the out/*.ckpt files land as 1 KB pointers until git lfs pull runs (see setup).

Teasers

The two headline loops from the README Results section — animation and robotics side by side.

MotionBricks robotics teaser: Unitree G1 humanoid running generated whole-body motion — **Robotics teaser**
`teaser_robotics.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Smart locomotion — single styles

One primitive, one behaviour. Each loop is roughly ten seconds and muted; the same styles are playable in the interactive demo (keybinds where they exist).

G1 humanoid shuffling in a zombie-walk style generated by MotionBricks — **Zombie walk** — playable in the G1 demo with F
`loco_zombie.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Humanoid limping with an injured leg, generated zero-shot — **Injured leg** — playable in the G1 demo with T
`loco_injured_leg.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Humanoid moving with a hunched, injured-torso style — **Injured torso**
`loco_injured_torso.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character skipping forward, generated in real time — **Skipping**
`loco_skipping.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character strafing sideways while facing forward — **Strafing**
`loco_strafing.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character strafing sideways in a crouched stealth posture — **Crouch strafing** — playable in the G1 demo with C
`loco_crouch_strafing.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Smart locomotion — mixture of styles

Multiple primitives composed on the fly — the zero-shot mixture claim in motion.

Character freely mixing locomotion styles with no visible blending seams — **Freestyle**
`loco_freestyle.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Idle to walk to jog to run speed ladder generated by one model — **Idle · Walk · Jog · Run**
`loco_idle_walk_jog_run.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Smart objects

Locomotion plus contact: picking things up, recovering from falls, jumping obstacles, sitting down.

Character bending down to pick up a sword from the ground — **Pick up sword**
`obj_pickup_sword.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character falling and reacting to the ground — **Falling**
`obj_falling.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character vaulting over a park bench — **Jump over bench**
`obj_jump_bench.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Character sitting down on a bench — **Sitting**
`obj_sitting.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Interactive authoring: a user placing and triggering object interactions live — **Interactive authoring**
`obj_interactive_authoring.gif` · official gallery loop, muted, ~10 s (the README lists no per-file size) · Open original

Video & stills

Outside the GIF folder, the two big assets everyone searches for:

Overview still — teaser_image_motionbricks.jpg, the header art on the official project page (the same file this site uses as its default social card). Hosted by NVIDIA, linked never copied.
4K runtime demo — aibm_runtime_main_demo_latest_art_v3.mp4, about 1.2 GB: download directly from research.nvidia.com. The README points to the project page for the full uncut demos and comparison videos.

One more GIF sits in the same gallery folder but is not part of the Results section: interactive_demo.gif — the screencast of the keyboard demo, embedded on the G1 demo page.

Using these assets legally

The repository is public; that is not the same as free-to-copy. Code is Apache 2.0, weights are under the NVIDIA Open Model License, and the README gives no separate image licence — so embed the NVIDIA-hosted URL (or the repo link) rather than re-uploading the files, and credit the source. This site follows that rule: every asset above is a hotlink to an NVIDIA-hosted file, and nothing is stored in this site's public folder.

Assets FAQ

Where is the official MotionBricks icon or logo?

NVIDIA does not ship a standalone icon file. The README badge image and the header art on the official project page (nvlabs.github.io/motionbricks) are the canonical brand assets, and the overview still teaser_image_motionbricks.jpg is hosted on that project page. This site links to them; it does not re-host them.

Where are the official MotionBricks GIFs hosted?

In the NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl GitHub repository under motionbricks/assets/gifs/, tracked with Git LFS. The playable copies are served from media.githubusercontent.com/media/... — the raw.githubusercontent.com URL for the same path returns a ~1 KB LFS pointer file, not an image. All gallery images on this page embed the media domain directly.

How do I get the 4K MotionBricks demo video?

The full 4K runtime demo (about 1.2 GB, single .mp4) is hosted by NVIDIA at research.nvidia.com and linked directly from this page. The SIGGRAPH 2026 paper PDF is linked from the project page. Downloading from NVIDIA's link requires no account; nothing is mirrored on this site.
