Where your motion is generated

Our GPUs, or yours.

The plugins send generation to a server. With Animatica Cloud that is ours, with the whole pipeline. Or run the open Apache-2.0 backbone on your own GPU and point the plugin at it.

Questions

Do I need both plugins?

No. Choreographer generates motion and Marionette poses and edits it by hand, and each works on its own. Installed together, Marionette's tools join Choreographer's bar and edit its takes, and you can click a key pose's ghost to edit it or bend the root path.

Does Marionette need the internet or an account?

No. The pose model and its runtime are inside the add-on, so it works offline, with no sign-in, on your own machine. Posing and editing never use a generation.

Which rigs does Marionette pose?

Rigify, Auto-Rig Pro and CloudRig control rigs, where it poses the FK controls and leaves IK to the rig, and Mixamo characters as they download.

When can I buy Marionette?

Now. It is $59, paid once, on our checkout. Until October 28, the code LAUNCH50 takes 50% off at checkout.

Who is the $59 Marionette licence for?

Individuals, and studios with under $100k in yearly revenue, one licence per artist. A studio with $100k or more buys through sales.

Which Marionette updates come with it?

The licence is perpetual and covers Marionette 1.x: every 1.x release you download is yours to keep, and updates to 1.x are guaranteed for 12 months after you buy. Marionette 2, when it comes, is a separate purchase.

Can I get a refund on Marionette?

If it doesn't work out for you, yes. Write to support@animatica.ai within 30 days of buying it on our checkout and tell us what went wrong, and we refund what you paid. The licence ends with the refund.

Is Marionette included in Pro?

With Pro paid yearly, yes, while you stay on it: $200 a year gets you 500 generations a month and Marionette. Pro paid monthly is generations only. Pro is for individuals and studios under $100k in yearly revenue; a bigger studio gets Marionette on every seat with Teams.

What counts as a generation?

One request to the model: an in-between fill, a path segment, a text-to-motion clip or a single pose. Up to eight variations come with it. Several characters generated together cost one each. A failed one costs nothing.

Packs or Pro?

A pack is $5 for 50, 10¢ each, and never expires. Pro is $20 a month for 500, 4¢ each, with new models first. From about 200 generations a month, Pro costs less.

What happens when I run out?

Your 10 free generations reset each month, and Pro's 500 reset with your billing month. Buy a pack and carry on right away, on any plan. Pack generations never expire.

What is it trained on?

Generation runs NVIDIA's open Kimodo model today. Our own model, A0, is training only on motion we commissioned, licensed, or that was released for free use. The manifesto lists the sources. Nothing you send is used to train our models.
