A lightweight, browser-based tool for posing and animating 3D characters exported from Blender. It runs entirely client-side, so models are loaded locally and never uploaded to a server.

Characters and scene elements can be arranged into shots with custom lighting, cameras and animation clips, without the memory overhead of a full 3D package such as Blender.

Features:

• Load rigged .glb, .gltf and .fbx characters.
• Pose bones and edit individual mesh parts with UI transform gizmos.
• Change shape keys for facial expressions or other deformations during animation.
• Play baked animations or create custom keyframe animations.
• Import .bvh motion capture files and retarget them to a character rig.
• Add props, backgrounds, lights and multiple cameras with keyframes and cuts.
• Choose several shading styles including cell, toon, anime and realistic options with configurable settings.
• Export transparent PNGs, WebM videos and BVH animation files.
