Ordinary Animator, Computer animation for ordinary people

Welcome!

Welcome to Ordinary Animator, your tool for creating 3D computer animation from a web browser. Not a computer animation expert? You have come to the right place! Ordinary Animator is designed to make animation easy. You may not get the same quality as a Disney or Pixar movie, but you will be able to quickly create your own short videos to tell your own personal stories and then share them with the world.

Example uses

Want to create a fun, personalized video to send to a friend for a birthday wish? Or spruce up a corporate presentation with a short animation at the start of an internal video? Maybe you want to create your own animated YouTube short or TikTok video. Or if you are really ambitious, launch your own animated series!

How does it work?

Ordinary Animator uses the latest advancements in AI to simplify your creative workflow. Start from just an idea, and AI can be used to suggest a screenplay. Edit and refine the screenplay, then use it to generate a Director's cut, more specific instructions about shots and camera movements. Edit and refine further (as text) and template scenes and shots will be automatically created for you. You can then refine these shots to get the timing just right.

What can it do?

To simplify your workflow, Ordinary Animator has built in integrations with high quality AI powered text-to-speech synthesis for dialog. You can record your own voice if you prefer. You can create your own characters using free tools such as VRoid Studio, or use one of the characters provided. For locations and sets, you can create your own in tools such as Blender, or leverage services such as SketchFab to find a scene to meet your needs. For character movements, you can use pre-recorded animations from sites such as Adobe Mixamo, record your own via a webcam, or use the latest AI to generate movements from text.

What do I need?

This service makes heavy use of both browser capabilities and cloud services. As such you will need a fairly modern device and a web browser. You do not need to install traditional large and complex animation tools on your desktop - this service performs the final heavy renders in the cloud. But you will be previewing 3D animations in the browser, so a reasonably modern computer and browser is required.

When will it be available?
