Soft-bodied 2D Animation

Coming soon

Soft-bodied 2D Animation, retargeted onto a soft-bodied 2D rig.

Soft-bodied 2D animation drives blobs, slimes, jellies, and gel creatures. A grid of soft-spring control points produces squash-and-stretch that real bones can't — the slime jiggles after landing, the jelly stretches when grabbed, the blob splits when it should.

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

Coming soon

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

What's coming in Soft-bodied 2D Animation

Anticipated clips for the soft-bodied 2D rig.

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

Where Soft-bodied 2D Animation fits

Common projects for a soft-bodied 2D rig.

  • Slime enemies
  • Bouncing collectibles
  • Puzzle blobs
  • Goo boss phases

Don't wait for soft-bodied

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 soft-bodied clips will eventually map to.

About soft-bodied 2d animation

When will Soft-bodied 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 soft-bodied characters today?

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

Will Soft-bodied 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 Soft-bodied 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.

Also on the roadmap
