Recent advances in generative models have democratized the creation of high-quality static 3D assets, yet animating these meshes remains a labor-intensive bottleneck. Traditional pipelines fracture this process into sequential stages—rigging, skinning, and motion synthesis—ignoring the inherent coupling between morphological structure and motor function. To bridge this gap, we introduce ACT, a unified generative framework that reformulates rigging and animation not as independent tasks, but as complementary views of a single hyper-kinematic process. Our key insight is to model the joint distribution of skeletal topology and temporal motion within a shared latent space. ACT utilizes a Vision Language Model (VLM) to extract semantic topological priors from arbitrary meshes, which then condition a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) backbone. By treating static rest poses and dynamic trajectories as a unified sequence, our model employs a task-aware masking strategy to flexibly perform zero-shot rigging, text-guided motion generation, and motion completion within a single end-to-end architecture. Furthermore, a geometry-guided decoder ensures that surface deformations are tightly coupled with the generated kinematics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ACT generalizes robustly to diverse, non-humanoid characters without retraining. By replacing brittle cascaded pipelines with a holistic prior, our method enables novel applications such as semantic-driven topology editing and generative in-betweening, offering a versatile and efficient solution for automating 3D character animation.
