What it does
Anim8or is a Windows 3D modelling and character-animation program with mesh tools, jointed figures, morph targets and rendering.
A simple articulated object can introduce Anim8or’s modelling and animation stages without requiring a complex character. Build the main forms with primitives, extrusion or lathing, then use the jointed-character tools where the object must bend or turn.
For a short performance, establish the movement before refining materials. Inverse kinematics and morph targets address different kinds of motion, while the scene renderer supplies still or movie output. The model interchange formats include OBJ, 3DS and STL. Keep the native animation project as well as any geometry export when the movement must remain editable.
Strengths
- Modelling, jointed characters and scene rendering share one program.
- Mesh interchange includes common OBJ and STL formats.
Best for
- Small model-and-animation projects
- Learning an object-to-scene workflow
