Joysticks 'n Sliders lets you drive complex character poses with simple on-canvas handles. Instead of animating dozens of layers by hand, you create a controller that blends between your key drawings, then animate a head turn, blink or expression by dragging one joystick or slider.
Joysticks for multi-directional poses
Set up extreme poses — looking up, down, left and right — and the tool interpolates everything in between, making believable head turns and body pivots effortless.
Sliders for expressions
Blend between two or more states along one axis: open and closed eyes, mouth shapes for lip sync, raised and neutral brows — one handle controls the whole transition.
Why animators love it
It turns tedious multi-layer posing into a single animatable control and speeds up explainers, lip sync and expression work. Controllers are reusable across shots and characters.
