Spawnimator Released: A Keyframe Animation Mod Aiming to Fix AI Games' Animation Bottleneck
TAbrodi · x · 2026-09-28
Developer @OPNico has released Spawnimator, a mod for Spawn built as a "keyframe animation studio" to tackle what he calls the bottleneck of AI games: animation.
- Supports jointed primitive dummies, stretchable shapes linked to hands, T/R/Y gizmos, two-bone IK, multi-character keyframes, and a named library
- Poses and animations are stored as JSON in Spawn transform fields, importable and exportable
- Workflow: place a few keyframes to sketch the motion, then ask the AI to generate 3 variants
- v1.3.0 restores import/export of long animations via chunked transfer; the library now lives in a database so it scales without slowing down
Because mods are built with savi inside Spawn itself, the platform gets better as more people create and share tools and content.
