AnimGen turns character artwork into editable animation for games. Upload an image—including a transparent PNG—describe actions like run, jump, or attack, preview the generated motion, and keep only the useful frames. Export RGBA PNG sequences, sprite sheets with JSON, transparent WebM or ProRes 4444, and ready-to-import packs for Unity, Godot, Unreal Paper2D, and Cocos Creator. A public API and remote MCP are available for automated workflows.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and spritesheet export tools are manageable, but generating consistent, game-ready character animation loops with alpha transparency requires specialized video/image diffusion pipelines.
What it would actually take: The system requires deploying and orchestrating custom image-to-video diffusion models (e.g., AnimateDiff, Wan2.1, or CogVideoX fine-tuned on 2D game sprites) on GPU infrastructure (RunPod, Modal). Additionally, developing reliable post-processing pipelines for automated background removal (segmentation models like BiRefNet) and exact frame-rate quantization to produce seamless looping game sprites requires specialized ML/CV pipeline engineering.
