Animant

What is Animant?

Animant is an AI-powered tool designed for creating engaging interactive 3D narratives based on natural language input. It allows users to generate simple 3D objects accurately without prior 3D animation knowledge. Animant integrates augmented reality (AR) features, supports the blending of 2D photos, PDFs, and videos with 3D content, and offers privacy protection by not collecting personally identifiable information. The tool also includes studio features like object capture, lighting, physics, offline rendering, and markdown-based captions, all rendered directly on the user's device. Animant is available for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms, with plans to expand to Apple Vision Pro. Users can use Animant offline and add captions to scenes using markdown formatting.
