Want to save time animating your characters? That magical button you wish existed when your script is ready and the nodes are in place? It’s here — meet Auto-animate!
With one click, Auto-Animate suggests animations for your scene. Gestures, idle movements, and facial expressions are automatically added — all driven by your text input.
How to use Auto-animate:
Add your script.
Click Studio.
Hit the Auto-animate button on the right.
☝🏻 Important: If you already have animations in your timeline, they will be replaced when you use Auto-animate.
Click Continue, and within seconds, you’ll get a complete animation suggestion based on your script.
Want characters to look at each other automatically?
To make this happen with Auto-animate, place the characters within each other’s field of view — that's 45 degrees to either side. Here is an explanation of how it works:
If you place the characters side by side, both facing the Player, it won’t work — they’re not within each other's view.
In this example, we’ve turned the character on the right slightly toward the one on the left. Now, Auto-animate will make the right character look at the left.
Here’s a perfect match: both characters are turned toward each other, and Auto-animate will ensure they make eye contact.
