Layer-based animation
Stack non-destructive animation layers with five blend modes and reusable key poses. Iterate on motion without disturbing your base pose.
Game animation with Blender made easier
Playable Workshop Tools adds a number of features to Blender 4.2 or later, including layer-based animation, viewport-authored gameplay events, and one-click export.
- Godot
- Unreal
- Unity
- glTF
- Aseprite
Animation events
Place hitboxes, spawners, and custom events directly in the viewport, keyframed alongside the character motion they belong to.
One-click export
Configure per-object export settings once, then re-export with a single button. No more walking the File menu every iteration.
Engine-ready output
glTF and FBX presets tuned for Unreal and Unity, plus a Godot GLB pass that writes native animation resources on import.
2D skeletal & sprite sheets
Export Pachario 2D skeletons with a sprite atlas, or render animations into sprite sheets, including Godot SpriteFrames and Aseprite.
Modeling tools
Quality-of-life operators that speed up the tedious parts of building, cleaning, and preparing meshes for a game engine.
