Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

Animated Drawings
Code to accompany "A Method for Animating Children's Drawings"
AnimatedDrawings is a framework that converts user sketches or line drawings into fully animated 2D motion sequences using learned motion priors. The idea is that you draw a simple static figure (stick figure, silhouette, or contour lines), and the system produces plausible skeletal motion (walking, jumping, dancing) that adheres to the drawn shape constraints. The architecture separates shape embedding (to understand user-drawn geometry) from motion embedding / generation (to produce temporally coherent movement). Users can provide rough keyframes or control constraints (pose anchors), and the system fills intermediate frames with fluid animation. The repository includes demonstration apps and notebooks where you can upload or draw shapes and watch animations play. Because the approach is data-driven, it generalizes to new drawings even with varying proportions or stylizations. -

CSS Inspiration
Curated collection of interesting, creative, or inspiring CSS effects
CSS-Inspiration is a living gallery of modern CSS effects and components that highlights what’s possible with pure CSS and minimal markup. The collection ranges from micro-interactions and loaders to 3D transforms, complex backgrounds, hover states, and text effects, each presented as a small, self-contained demo. Source code is front and center, encouraging developers to study, copy, and tweak snippets for their own projects. Many examples lean on contemporary features—custom properties, filters, blend modes, gradients, and keyframes—serving as both inspiration and a practical cookbook. Because each demo focuses on a single idea, it’s an effective way to learn new techniques without wading through a full framework. The project thrives on experimentation and community interest, making it a frequent reference for designers, front-end engineers, and educators who want visually striking yet lightweight solutions. -

Effeckt.css
A Performant Transitions and Animations Library
Effeckt.css is a showcase and toolkit of high-performance UI transitions and animations for the web. It catalogs common interaction patterns—button states, list reveals, modals, off-canvas menus, and page transitions—implemented with CSS transforms and opacity for smooth, GPU-friendly motion. The project focuses on practical details such as using compositing-friendly properties, keeping DOM structures lean, and providing hooks so JavaScript can toggle classes without micromanaging animation state. Each effect is isolated, documented, and demoed, allowing designers to copy just what they need rather than dragging in a monolithic framework. By standardizing names and behaviors, it helps teams keep motion design consistent across a product while remaining easy to theme. The library doubled as a learning resource during the rise of CSS animations, showing how to achieve polished interactions without heavy JavaScript. -

SmartBody
Character animation system for games and simulations.
SmartBody is available for download for Windows, Linux and OSX users. SmartBody can also be used on Android and iOS platforms. SmartBody is a character animation platform that provides the following capabilities in real time: * Locomotion (walk, jog, run, turn, strafe, jump, etc.) * Steering - avoiding obstacles and moving objects * Object manipulation - reach, grasp, touch , pick up objects * Lip Syncing - characters can speak with simultaneous lip-sync using text-to-speech or prerecorded audio * Gazing - robust gazing behavior that incorporates various parts of the body * Nonverbal behavior - gesturing, head nodding and shaking, eye saccades - Online and offline retargeting of motion - Automatic skinning and rigging SmartBody is written in C++ and can be incorporated into most game engines. SmartBody is developed at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies from the Character Animation and Simulation group: http://cas.ict.usc.edu -

KPEdit
KPEdit - A 2D skeletal animation editor.
KPEdit is a skeletal animation editor for game developers and animators. It may be a free alternative to the motion capture systems. The application provides functionality that allows the user to create realistic video-based animations. Prerecorded videos can be used as a reference in order to construct skeleton movement sequences. Other features such as interpolation, transformations and video rendering are also available as built-in functions as well as external modules. -

AnimateDiff
Plug-n-play module turning text-to-image models into animation
AnimateDiff is an open-source project designed to enhance text-to-image diffusion models by adding animation capabilities. It allows users to turn static images generated by popular text-to-image models into animated sequences without requiring additional model training. This plug-and-play tool is compatible with a wide range of community models and facilitates the generation of animation directly from pre-existing text-to-image models. It supports various configurations to create animations with different visual styles, providing flexibility and ease of use for developers and artists interested in exploring dynamic, AI-generated animations. -

intelligence
What happens if you cross artificial intelligence with 3D
This Project will make the attempt to cross artificial intelligence Algorythms and common 3D workflow. Usually many operations in 3D workflow are highly retundant and often actions have to be repeaded several times or instead being executed in selfmade scripts.Scripting is in fact for most people a very nasty and time consuming action. This application module tries to fill the gap where it lerns workflows which can in order be modified, multiplied, adapted organically to allow a fast and versatile Workflows, where currently rigit working habits will not Compete. ...also making scripting finally obsolete. currently the developement is started with Autodesk Maya. More 3D platforms will come after this project is succeding.
