Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

srt-whiteboard-animation
Make SRT into a streaming handwriting whiteboard hand-drawn animation
srt-whiteboard-animation is an AI skill for turning SRT subtitle files into hand-drawn whiteboard videos that follow the narrative order of the captions. It parses subtitles and recommends scene divisions, typically targeting segments of about 25 to 35 seconds. Each scene is planned around one core idea before artwork and annotations are prepared. Semantic drawing order connects visual elements to specific subtitle events rather than relying only on coordinates. A streaming renderer first reveals ink strokes and then progressively adds color. Users can adjust regions, timing, sequence, and subtitle associations in a browser preview before rendering scenes and merging them into a final MP4. -

Animated Drawings
Code to accompany "A Method for Animating Children's Drawings"
AnimatedDrawings is a framework that converts user sketches or line drawings into fully animated 2D motion sequences using learned motion priors. The idea is that you draw a simple static figure (stick figure, silhouette, or contour lines), and the system produces plausible skeletal motion (walking, jumping, dancing) that adheres to the drawn shape constraints. The architecture separates shape embedding (to understand user-drawn geometry) from motion embedding / generation (to produce temporally coherent movement). Users can provide rough keyframes or control constraints (pose anchors), and the system fills intermediate frames with fluid animation. The repository includes demonstration apps and notebooks where you can upload or draw shapes and watch animations play. Because the approach is data-driven, it generalizes to new drawings even with varying proportions or stylizations. -

Blend_My_NFTs
Easily generate thousands of 3D models, images, and animation NFTs
Blend_My_NFTs is an open-source, free-to-use Blender add-on that enables you to easily generate thousands of 3D Models, Animations, and Images. This add-on's primary purpose is to aid in the creation of large generative 3D NFT collections. It is the first and easiest 3D NFT generator. Blend_My_NFTs was initially developed to create Cozy Place, an NFT collection by This Cozy Studio Inc. Blend_My_NFTs works with Blender 3.2.2 on Windows 10 or macOS Big Sur 11.6. Linux is supported, however we haven't had the chance to test and guarantee this functionality. Windows 11 has not been tested as of yet. Any rendering engine works; Cycles, Eevee, and Octane have all been used by the community. This add-on only works in Blender, a Cinima 4D port is being investigated. Every object, model, texture, camera, light etc. must be in the same .blend file! If you have mulitiple .blend files, Blend_My_NFTs is unable to open and process them. It's recommended to keep your file's total size 5gb. -

PersonaLive
Expressive Portrait Image Animation for Live Streaming
PersonaLive is an open-source diffusion-based portrait animation framework focused on generating expressive, long-duration animated sequences in real time, primarily for live streaming or interactive applications. It leverages deep generative models that condition on a static reference image and a driving input (such as motion or expression cues) to produce a seamless animated portrait sequence that can run indefinitely without segmentation artifacts. The framework prioritizes low-latency and streamable output, making it suitable for real-time creative workflows, broadcast overlays, or interactive avatars on consumer-grade GPUs. PersonaLive’s architecture balances visual quality and efficiency by combining motion encoding, temporal modules, and hybrid implicit control signals to preserve identity and stable expression through long sequences. -

Oil Motion
Create smooth, responsive interactive web animations
Oil Motion is an agent-agnostic skill for creating smooth interactive animations for websites and digital interfaces. Users describe the desired movement, available assets, and the interaction that should control it while the agent manages the production workflow. The system defines key states, generates continuous motion between them, reviews frames, removes artifacts, and prepares optimized assets. Animation progress can then be mapped to scrolling, mouse movement, dragging, touch input, device orientation, clicks, or component states. Reverse movement naturally follows the same frame sequence when the user reverses an interaction. The workflow also considers motion continuity, visual clarity, loading size, and mobile performance. It is suitable for product reveals, character interactions, demonstrations, data transitions, and narrative page sequences. -

SteadyDancer
Harmonized and Coherent Human Image Animation
SteadyDancer is a research-oriented motion stabilization and dancer tracking system designed to analyze and correct motion in videos, making captured performances appear smoother and more stable while preserving expressiveness. It employs computer vision and motion modeling to estimate and reduce unwanted jitters, shakes, or camera wobbles — particularly in dance or movement sequences where traditional smoothing would distort intentional motion. By differentiating between intentional rhythmic motion and unintentional instability, SteadyDancer applies adaptive filtering that enhances video quality without flattening the core movement dynamics. The system can be used both in preprocessing pipelines for content creators and in live feedback loops for performers, giving dancers and videographers a tool to refine their visual outputs. It supports integration with standard video formats and includes customizable parameters so users can tune stabilization aggressiveness. -
