AI-assisted 3D keyframe animation software for characters and creatures
Generates the motion between your keyframes automatically, removing the need to hand-place every intermediate pose.
Suggests natural character poses from a reduced set of control points, with dedicated support for fingers and quadrupeds.
Physics simulation shows an accurate double of the character so you can adjust weight, inertia, collisions and secondary motion with confidence.
Drag joints onto the mesh to auto-generate rigs for humanoids and quadrupeds, then copy animation between characters with different skeletons.
One AI studio for video, image, and audio creation
Access text-to-video, image generation, editing, voice, and music tools from one account and one credit pool instead of juggling multiple subscriptions.
Swap faces in photos and videos, sync lips to audio, and bring portraits to life with talking-photo and character replacement workflows.
Generate videos and images programmatically through a REST API with Python, Node.js, Go, and Rust SDKs for automated, repeatable pipelines.
Choose from 25,000+ templates with dimensions optimized for social, ad, and campaign formats so you never start from a blank page.
