Animatic

An experimental pipeline that takes a front-facing 2D character image and returns a simple textured mesh with an armature.

The Animatic character image upload interface
A thesis-era experiment with input constraints. It builds a simple textured mesh, not a full 3D reconstruction. Demo availability depends on its hosted model backend.

The challenge

Getting from an image to something that can be inspected in a 3D viewer involves several separate steps. This project explores connecting those steps in one browser flow.

What I built

  • An image upload flow connected to a machine learning backend.
  • 2D keypoint prediction followed by simple mesh and armature generation.
  • GLB output, browser preview, and recent-file storage with IndexedDB.

The result

An end-to-end experiment that produces a rigged GLB from a suitable character image.
