Why did I create Animate?
Creating and managing timelines for individual actors is annoying. They're deep in code, hard to organize and require lots of manual work to copy similar functionality across multiple actors.
That's why I created Animate! Animate makes it easy to quickly animate any Actor and any property of it in your scene and rapidly adjust & update curves to figure out perfect animations for your project.
What is Animate?
🌊 Animate is a simple yet powerful plugin for Vector-curve-driven animations. Create one or more Vector Curves using the built-in editor, plug it to a mesh, door or anything else and run the animation! Create deeper and more dynamic environments or enrich your existing blueprints with more natural movement by adding Animate to it!
⚡ Incredibly powerful. Animate ships with various examples that you can instantly use or swap out for your own meshes! For more advanced and bigger ideas you can create custom Animate components and use the animation data however you wish! The built-in events also allow other blueprints and actors to get notice on when animations start, update and end!
