Open Source Python Animation Software for Linux

AnimatedDrawings is a framework that converts user sketches or line drawings into fully animated 2D motion sequences using learned motion priors. The idea is that you draw a simple static figure (stick figure, silhouette, or contour lines), and the system produces plausible skeletal motion (walking, jumping, dancing) that adheres to the drawn shape constraints. The architecture separates shape embedding (to understand user-drawn geometry) from motion embedding / generation (to produce temporally coherent movement). Users can provide rough keyframes or control constraints (pose anchors), and the system fills intermediate frames with fluid animation. The repository includes demonstration apps and notebooks where you can upload or draw shapes and watch animations play. Because the approach is data-driven, it generalizes to new drawings even with varying proportions or stylizations.

AnimateDiff is an open-source project designed to enhance text-to-image diffusion models by adding animation capabilities. It allows users to turn static images generated by popular text-to-image models into animated sequences without requiring additional model training. This plug-and-play tool is compatible with a wide range of community models and facilitates the generation of animation directly from pre-existing text-to-image models. It supports various configurations to create animations with different visual styles, providing flexibility and ease of use for developers and artists interested in exploring dynamic, AI-generated animations.
