For indie game developers

AI animation for indie games

Small team, lots of characters, no dedicated animator? Nira rigs your heroes, NPCs, and creatures and gives them move sets you can ship or prototype with.

Generating an animation pack for a game character
  • Whole move sets

    Animation packs generate idle, walk, run, and more for a character at once.

  • Creatures included

    Rig quadrupeds, birds, and dragons, and animate them from a text prompt.

  • Any engine

    GLB works in Unity, Unreal, Godot, Roblox, and web engines like three.js.

The animation bottleneck in indie games

Characters are where indie scope goes to die. Every enemy type needs a rig and a move set, and hiring an animator or buying mocap packs that almost fit eats the budget fast. Stock animation libraries also make every game look the same.

How indie teams use Nira

  • Prototype: get placeholder characters moving on day one and test game feel early.
  • NPC crowds: give background characters varied idles and walks without hand-keying each one.
  • Creatures: rig and animate enemies that are not humanoid.
  • Final polish: refine generated clips on the timeline when they need to ship.

Frequently asked questions

Does Nira work with Godot?

Can I use the animations in a commercial game?

You keep the rights to content you create with Nira. See the terms of service for the details for your plan.

How many characters can I animate for free?
