Quadruped 2D Animation

Coming soon

Quadruped 2D Animation, retargeted onto a quadruped 2D rig.

Quadruped 2D animation handles any four-legged character — pet companions, mounts, predators, livestock. The rig phases the four-foot gait correctly across walk, trot, canter, and gallop, and accounts for the spine ripple that gives a sprinting wolf or horse its weight on screen.

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

Coming soon

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

What's coming in Quadruped 2D Animation

Anticipated clips for the quadruped 2D rig.

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

Where Quadruped 2D Animation fits

Common projects for a quadruped 2D rig.

  • Pet companions
  • Player mounts
  • Predator enemies
  • Farm animals

Don't wait for quadruped

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 quadruped clips will eventually map to.

About quadruped 2d animation

When will Quadruped 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 quadruped characters today?

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

Will Quadruped 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 Quadruped 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.
