CHAMP Animation Making Program, as its name suggests, aims to be a usable animation program primarily for GNU/Linux. It's currently being developed only by me (Thomas Clark), and is being written in C++. At the moment, CHAMP is not finished.

CSS-Inspiration is a living gallery of modern CSS effects and components that highlights what’s possible with pure CSS and minimal markup. The collection ranges from micro-interactions and loaders to 3D transforms, complex backgrounds, hover states, and text effects, each presented as a small, self-contained demo. Source code is front and center, encouraging developers to study, copy, and tweak snippets for their own projects. Many examples lean on contemporary features—custom properties, filters, blend modes, gradients, and keyframes—serving as both inspiration and a practical cookbook. Because each demo focuses on a single idea, it’s an effective way to learn new techniques without wading through a full framework. The project thrives on experimentation and community interest, making it a frequent reference for designers, front-end engineers, and educators who want visually striking yet lightweight solutions.

atree is a lightweight JavaScript library for managing and visualizing hierarchical tree data structures in a flexible and efficient way. It offers core abstractions for creating nodes, building parent–child relationships, and traversing trees with utilities for depth, breadth, and custom iteration strategies. Because tree structures are ubiquitous in computing—from file systems and organizational charts to DOM structures and evolutionary taxonomies—atree provides a reusable foundation for representing and interacting with nested data. It separates the logical model from rendering concerns, so you can use it as the data backbone in UI frameworks, graphs, or custom visual components. The library’s API makes it easy to add, remove, or move nodes anywhere in the hierarchy while maintaining consistent references and performance.

Javascript animation authoring environment. A WYSIWYG cross-platform desktop application using jQuery to animate XHTML and HTML elements. Its built in XUL.

DawNLITE is a Natural-Language-based Image Transmoding Engine. The software transforms an image to a video as recorded by a virtual camera panning and zooming over the image, following a natural language text description of the image.

Effeckt.css is a showcase and toolkit of high-performance UI transitions and animations for the web. It catalogs common interaction patterns—button states, list reveals, modals, off-canvas menus, and page transitions—implemented with CSS transforms and opacity for smooth, GPU-friendly motion. The project focuses on practical details such as using compositing-friendly properties, keeping DOM structures lean, and providing hooks so JavaScript can toggle classes without micromanaging animation state. Each effect is isolated, documented, and demoed, allowing designers to copy just what they need rather than dragging in a monolithic framework. By standardizing names and behaviors, it helps teams keep motion design consistent across a product while remaining easy to theme. The library doubled as a learning resource during the rise of CSS animations, showing how to achieve polished interactions without heavy JavaScript.

Flint is an ActionScript 3 particle engine designed for creating rich particle effects in Flash and Flex applications, providing tools for animations like fire, smoke, and explosions. This first tutorial will introduce the basics of Flint through a project to create a snow effect. Our effect will be snow flakes drifting down the screen. Each snow flake will be a particle in our particle system. If you want to see the final effect, scroll to the bottom of the page. This tutorial works with version 4.0.0 of the Flint library. This example creates a 2D particle effect. For 3D particle effects the principles are the same but you use a 3D emitter and 3D behaviours. First create a new Flash file (Actionscript 3). Set the stage size to 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels high, set the frame rate to 30 fps and set the background color to black.

Gato (Graph Animation Toolbox): Animate graph algorithms for example for computing shortest paths, minimal spanning trees, maximum flows or maximal cardinality or weight matchings. Create your own animations using the Animated Data Structures (ADS).

Lightweight Java library for animation and animated components development. Also perfect as a graphics engine for 2D games in Java.

Neat library, that provides a simple way to implement guillotine-styled animation. Builder allows you to customize start delay, duration, interpolation and you can set listener if you want to do staff at the moment when menu has been opened or closed.

The Houdini Character Development Kit is a set of tools (scripts / HDA's) that help and make easier the task of rigging characters.

A command line java tool that allows creating images of earthquake occurrences plotted on a map over time. These images can then be used to create a video / animation (with a seperate tool like mencoder)

Simple Ogre XML visualizer using Java + jMonkey 2. Drop a folder or XML file in the selector tree and observe the selected animation.

JavaNect provides Java-based access to the OpenNI interfaces for piloting devices such as the Kinect. It uses JNA to communicate with the native libraries and drivers on all major platforms. JavaNect was designed for maximum performance.

JoePass! is a program to write and animate juggling patterns.

loaders.css is a collection of pure CSS loading animations designed to drop into any web project without JavaScript or image assets. Each loader is built from simple HTML elements animated with CSS keyframes, transforms, and opacity to create spinners, pulses, bars, and geometric patterns. Because they’re vector-based and CSS-driven, the animations scale cleanly at any resolution and look sharp on high-DPI displays. The library emphasizes small, reusable snippets: you copy a minimal markup block, apply the provided class, and tweak size or color through CSS variables or overrides. Animations are crafted to be smooth and performant, relying on GPU-friendly properties to keep frame rates high even on mobile devices. The set covers common loading metaphors (pulsing dots, rotating squares, bouncing bars), giving designers a consistent visual language across a site while keeping bundle size tiny.

MoCapTracker is a project containing two main programs: First program is ARTrackingDump which writes Motion Capture data of A.R.Track-systems to a MySQL database. Second program is MoCapTracker which analyzes this data.

PAnimador es una librería desarrollada en Java, empleada para realizar animaciones sencillas usando el API 2D de Java para renderización y la biblioteca gráfica Swing de Java para despliegue.

A few perl modules which can create xml files to run as movies on your 3D RGB LED Cube. The cubes internal firmware source code was not disclosed when i asked for it. So i developed this to create movies to upload onto the cube. See the Wiki for more information. Some additional xml animations for the cube are available in the Files section.

RGbit is a small javascript-based "gps-player" which can be used for presenting highlights from RouteGadget route drawings. It utilizes elements of GPSsbit for animating the data.

Node based image and video compositor.

Hi, everyone. This is a small raytracer I've been working on and its completely opensource so feel free to download, and contribute! Recently I added a class to render triangles and I fixed a bug with shadows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMOJGxyd9BE

React Flight is a JavaScript library for UIs built with React that allows you to compose animations and transitions via “flights” where you design a start component, an end component, and the tool handles animating between them. It’s pitched as the “best way to build animation compositions for React” and is inspired by tools such as Principle in the mobile design world. The developer experience emphasises framing: you place elements into Flight.Frame containers, specify key-frames (start and end states), and then trigger animations via APIs (play(), reset()). It supports interactive previewing of frames (via showFrames mode), and integrates (at least at the time) with jQuery/Velocity under the hood (though future versions may remove the jQuery dependency). It’s well-suited for teams creating rich UI transitions, micro-animations and interactive components in React applications.

A sprite editor with a twist: you can export sprite-related data along with animation individual frames or sprite sheets.
