A lightweight animation product for solo creators and small content studios that turns static character art into reusable 2D mesh puppets for shorts, livestream overlays, explainer videos, and social content. Many creators have static character art but cannot afford traditional rigging and animation workflows. The repo shows a capability for mesh-deforming illustrations; the paid wedge is a creator-friendly pipeline that converts art into reusable character motion templates and export formats.
