Storyboard-first layout
Drop poses on the stage and AnimFlow auto-creates breakdowns. Adaptive ghosting keeps silhouettes readable while you plan.
Studio session 24 fps
Onion-skin ghosts and IK handles stay live while you scrub — drop an ARDY clip on the rig and refine it keyframe by keyframe.
Timeline + AI motionCtrlK opens the command palette — every tool is one search away.
Motion Library
Type a prompt. Get a performance.
450+ full-body human motion clips generated with NVIDIA ARDY, the real-time streaming text-to-motion model. Every clip is searchable, categorized and ready to retarget onto your rig or VRM character.

Character Studio
Real 3D characters, physics included
Animate VRM characters directly in the browser. AnimFlow reads the spring-bone data in your model and simulates hair, tails and cloth on top of any motion — mocap, ARDY clips or hand-keyed — so characters feel alive without touching a physics panel.
Automatic spring bones
Drop in any .vrm and hair, tails, ears and cloth get spring-bone chains detected and simulated automatically — no manual setup.
Secondary motion for free
Jiggle physics reacts to every clip you play: stop a run and the ponytail keeps swinging, turn fast and the coat follows through.
Mocap + ARDY clips
Drive the same character with webcam mocap or any of the 450+ ARDY text-to-motion clips, then blend expressions on top.
Bring your own character
VRM is an open standard — export from VRoid Studio or Blender, drag the file in, and it animates immediately.
Workflow clarity
A guided loop built for animator flow states
The AnimFlow workspace follows animation UX studies from Pixar, Adobe and the RMIT Motion Lab. Every screen reduces guesswork so you stay in the creative zone.
Built from 180+ animator interviewsCognitive load tested with NASA TLXWorks with pen, mouse & multi-touch
Feel every frame while scrubbing
Scrub with 40 ms response time and tactile audio cues validated with professional animators during usability sessions.
Refine with contextual insights
Motion arcs, speed graphs and constraint helpers surface in-line as you tweak curves, so you ship confident, believable motion.
Interaction study playback
User testedEase in Breakdown Hold
What testers loved: The editor pulses keyframes to confirm selection, reducing mis-clicks by 37% compared to legacy tools.
- 94% Completion without onboarding
- +18% Confidence in timing accuracy
- 12 Hotkeys surfaced contextually
Interaction patterns you can trust
We rebuilt every major tool through the lens of animation UX studies: spatial awareness, continuous feedback and predictable timing. These patterns make AnimFlow feel effortless from day one.
- Auto-play onboarding microtour
- Latency tracing overlay for QA
- Per-project motion library share links
Timeline designed for iteration velocity
Magnetic snapping, inline curve edits and motion arcs come together so you can iterate without modal dialogs.
71% of testers moved from block to polish without leaving the timeline.Context-aware rig overlays
Hover on any controller to surface strength, limits and related constraints in a compact inspector panel.
Usability tests showed a 42% drop in rig troubleshooting time.Multi-device, multi-input ready
The UI scales for pen displays, tablets or laptops with consistent target sizes and feedback states.

Grounded in animation UX research
AnimFlow’s interface is continually validated with real productions, so you inherit the heuristics that keep animators focused. These are the principles we optimise for every release.
Immediate feedback loop
Keyframes, constraints and curve edits respond within 100 ms, supporting the continuous feedback principle from MIT Media Lab studies.
Spatial memory safeguards
Panels snap back to predictable anchors and animate smoothly, inspired by Adobe XD and Figma motion research for reduced disorientation.
Accessible motion defaults
Motion presets honour WCAG guidance with optional reduced motion and colour contrast-safe path highlights.
