Modular 2D Animation

Coming soon

Modular 2D Animation, retargeted onto a modular 2D rig.

Modular 2D animation drives part-swap characters — robots with interchangeable arms, mecha with hardpoints, build-your-own creature systems. The rig exposes attach sockets that survive across clips, so swapping a laser-arm for a flamethrower-arm doesn't rebreak the idle.

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

Coming soon

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

What's coming in Modular 2D Animation

Anticipated clips for the modular 2D rig.

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

Where Modular 2D Animation fits

Common projects for a modular 2D rig.

  • Customizable mechs
  • Modular enemies
  • Crafting systems
  • Robotic NPCs

Don't wait for modular

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 modular clips will eventually map to.

About modular 2d animation

When will Modular 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 modular characters today?

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

Will Modular 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 Modular 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.
