AI-Driven Animation Tool
An AI-driven animation tool uses artificial intelligence to automate or assist with parts of the animation process, such as character motion, lip-syncing, in-betweening (tweening), style transfer, or scene generation. These tools can dramatically reduce production time and enhance creative workflows for animators, game developers, and content creators.
