Grab an object, hit record, and move it to animate your ideas into movies in minutes. Puppet Play offers straightforward VR tools that simplify the process for beginners, letting you pick from characters, props, items, and sets to build scenes. Drag and drop custom MP3 sound files or JPG/PNG images, which attach to puppets and follow their motion for seamless integration. Use motion capture on humanoid characters to control them directly or remote control limbs for precise adjustments over large distances. Export finished animations as MP4 videos to share your work. This simulation tool suits anyone new to animation, from casual creators to education-focused users, with no prior experience needed.

You have the idea, we have everything else!

Animating is not your thing? Then why don't you just become the puppet? Motion Capture (Mocap) can be used on all humanoid characters.





Move puppets over large distances! And have you ever tried to animate the hands after the body is already moving quickly? Trust me, its a pain! Use remote control to .... remote control limbs!
