Getting Started

From zero to animated in minutes. No install. No drama. Just sign in and go.

What You Need

A modern browser. That's it. No downloads, no plugins, no thirty-step installer that asks if you really want to set Bing as your default search engine.

• Chrome or Edge — recommended for the best experience (native OS file dialogs)
• Firefox or Safari — fully supported with traditional upload/download
• Google sign-in — a Gmail account is required to use the app
• No install — it runs in your browser, right now

Supported File Formats

We don't gatekeep formats. If the 3D world uses it, we probably load it.

Loading Your First Model

Three clicks. No config files. No YAML incantations. Just you and your model.

1. Click Load Model in the header bar It's the big obvious button up top. You can't miss it. We designed it that way on purpose.
2. Pick a GLB, VRM, FBX, or GLTF from your machine Your OS file dialog opens (or a standard file picker if you're on Firefox/Safari). Select your model and let it rip. Most generative 3D platforms like Meshy, TripoAI, and Ready Player Me export as GLB or FBX — both work.
3. The camera auto-frames your character — you're ready to go The viewport zooms to fit your model at a comfortable distance. Bones are visible, the skeleton is mapped, and you're in business.

Navigating the Viewport

Standard 3D viewport controls. If you've ever used Blender, Maya, or basically any 3D app in the last two decades, you already know this.

Understanding the Interface

Five areas. That's all. We kept it tight so you spend time animating, not hunting for buried menus.

Header Bar

Mode selector (Select, Rotate, Translate, IK), the Load Model button, undo/redo, and the Clean Model tool. This is mission control — everything starts here.

Left Panel

Your animation list lives here. Load, rename, delete, or reorder animations. This is also where retargeting controls and bind pose tools hang out.

3D Viewport

The big one. Your character, bone visualization overlays, and IK targets all live in this space. This is where the actual work happens — posing, previewing, and making your model do things it didn't know it could do.

Right Panel

Bone hierarchy tree, per-bone transform values (position, rotation, scale), and constraint properties when you're in IK mode. Select a bone and everything updates in real time.

Timeline

Playback controls, keyframe tracks, scrub bar, and the all-important Autokey toggle. When Autokey is on, every pose you make gets recorded as a keyframe. When it's off, you're just previewing.

Your First Animation Edit

Time to break stuff. (Not really — but that energy is encouraged.)

1. Press S to enter Select mode, then click a bone Try an arm. Arms are satisfying. The selected bone highlights and the right panel shows its properties.
2. Press R to enter Rotate mode You'll see RGB rotation rings appear around the selected bone — red for X, green for Y, blue for Z.
3. Drag a ring to rotate the bone The character moves! The skeleton follows! You're animating! It's that simple.
4. Check the Autokey button in the timeline If it's on (highlighted), keyframes are created automatically as you pose. If it's off, you're just noodling — which is also fine. Noodling is underrated.
5. Move the playhead, pose again, and hit Play Jump to a different frame on the timeline, create a new pose, then smash that play button. Congratulations — you just made an animation. From scratch. In a browser.
