Animatica Choreographer for Blender

AI motion generation inside Blender 5+. Describe what you want, block out key poses on the timeline, set waypoints for the character to walk through, pin a hand to an object — then press Generate Motion and get a new take on your armature. Not happy? Reject and try again.

What you can do

• Full clips — generate motion across a frame range from text prompts and key poses
• Prompt blocks on the timeline — one prompt per stretch of the shot, each one regenerated on its own if you like
• Key poses — pose the character, press Set Keyframe, and the motion passes through that pose
• See the plan — ghosts of your key poses, and an onion skin of the motion around the playhead
• Posing and editing by hand (Animatica Marionette, sold separately) — drag a hand, foot or the hips and the whole body follows; drag the motion trail, spread the onion skin into a zoetrope, lock a foot in place
• Waypoints and pins — where the character stands at a frame, and a hand or foot held in place
• Variations — several versions of a take from one Generate; flip between them and keep one
• Several characters at once — select them and generate them together, each with its own row in the review
• Loop — a seamless walk, run or idle cycle, for games
• In place — take out the travel and keep the body's sway and bounce; with Marionette the root trajectory is editable
• Follow Selection — select a character to animate it
• Example scenes — open a finished set, ready to generate
• Single poses — Generate Pose at Frame for one frame without replacing your whole action
• Review before committing — every take waits for you: Keep it (its blocks lock, so the next Generate leaves them alone), Redo it, or Discard it
• Built-in updates — the addon tells you when a new version is out and installs it on one click

Generation runs in the cloud by default (Animatica Cloud), so you don't need a local GPU and there is no generation model to download. Sign in once in the addon preferences and you're set. Power users can run a server on their own machine instead; see configuration.

Nothing runs on your machine but the addon itself, and nothing is downloaded until you ask (an example scene, the ready-made character). What the addon sends, and where, is listed under Privacy and network.
