Aerial 2D Animation

Coming soon

Aerial 2D Animation, retargeted onto a aerial 2D rig.

Aerial 2D animation handles flying characters — birds, dragons, drones, hovercraft, jetpack troopers. Flap cycle, glide, dive, and hover are all keyed at their natural cadences so a hummingbird never animates like an eagle.

We're in production on this rig family. While it's being retargeted and clip-tested, the live Humanoid 2D library already covers most of the aerial use cases below — many studios ship their first prototype with humanoid stand-ins while bespoke rigs catch up.

Coming soon

Retargeted clips for aerial 2d animation are in production — preview tiles will appear here.

What's coming in Aerial 2D Animation

Anticipated clips for the aerial 2D rig.

The first wave of aerial 2d animation ships with these core motions — the same backbone every Charios rig launches with before specialty clips fill in.

Where Aerial 2D Animation fits

Common projects for a aerial 2D rig.

  • Flying mounts
  • Dragon bosses
  • Bird companions
  • Drone enemies

Don't wait for aerial

Prototype with Humanoid 2D today.

Studios consistently ship their first vertical-slice with humanoid stand-ins, then swap to the bespoke rig later — because shipping a playable scene matters more than the final art being on the right skeleton. The Humanoid 2D library already covers the moves your aerial clips will eventually map to.

About aerial 2d animation

When will Aerial 2D Animation ship?

We don't pre-announce ship dates — rigs go live the moment they pass our 2D-readability bar. Drop your email above and you'll be the first to know.

Can I use Humanoid clips for aerial characters today?

Yes — many aerial use cases ship with humanoid stand-ins for prototyping. The motion cadence is similar enough that prototypes feel right; swap in the bespoke aerial clips when they ship.

Will Aerial 2D Animation support FBX / Unity / Godot export?

Yes — every Charios rig ships with the same export matrix: FBX, Unity .anim, BVH, glTF, Spine JSON, Godot .tres, plus native Charios JSON and GIF spritesheet.

Is Aerial 2D Animation included in the Pro plan?

Yes — every rig family is bundled with Pro. No per-rig upsell, no add-on packs. One subscription covers every library we ship.
