Monster Mash is a playful, research-grade 2D-to-3D modeling and animation tool that turns quick pen strokes into lively, deformable characters in seconds. You sketch a silhouette and interior strokes to hint at limbs or structure, then “inflate” the drawing into a volumetric, puppet-like mesh that preserves the feel of the original art. The interface favors immediacy: draw, inflate, pose, and record motion directly in the canvas, without manual rigging, weight painting, or complicated asset pipelines. Under the hood it builds a lightweight surface and auto-assigns handles so you can grab and move parts intuitively, with smooth deformations propagating across the body. ...
