Creature (AKA: Creature Animation) is a powerful and advanced animation creation software for 2D biological characters, developed by Kestrel Moon Studios (Jiayi Chong) from China. It has an excellent workflow, which enables users to make amazing, complex and smooth professional animations in a very simple way within a few minutes. Therefore, it is very suitable for game developers, animation designers, and animation enthusiasts of any levels.
Creature offers both traditional tools (such as FK and IK chains) and very advanced tools (such like physical bending motors, automatic walking cycle generation, direct manipulation of flesh/muscle/flexible body dynamics, advanced intelligent bone weighting, 2D motion capture, and more) for animation production. With these powerful animation tools, we are able to quickly build a variety of animation characters. Plus, with the bone and motion settings, we can make the animation effects very realistic and exquisite.
Additionally, Creature also comes with a rich collection of documentations, examples and tutorials, as well as web animation library and automated animation engine. These allow users to create actions that traditional skeletal animation cannot. In addition, it has an intuitive and concise UI, simplified workflow, and all the features at a glance. These can greatly improve the efficiency of animation production.
