Hexapod 2D Animation

Coming soon

Hexapod 2D Animation, retargeted onto a hexapod 2D rig.

Hexapod 2D animation covers six-legged creatures — insects, spiders (eight-leg variant), crab-like enemies, and walker mechs. The tripod gait (three legs grounded at all times) is baked into the rig so the character never reads as floating, no matter the prop count.

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 hexapod use cases below — many studios ship their first prototype with humanoid stand-ins while bespoke rigs catch up.

Coming soon

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

What's coming in Hexapod 2D Animation

Anticipated clips for the hexapod 2D rig.

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

Where Hexapod 2D Animation fits

Common projects for a hexapod 2D rig.

  • Swarm enemies
  • Boss insects
  • Walker mechs
  • Cave creatures

Don't wait for hexapod

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 hexapod clips will eventually map to.

About hexapod 2d animation

When will Hexapod 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 hexapod characters today?

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

Will Hexapod 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 Hexapod 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.
