Introduction

We believe that creating animation should be easy for any skill level; that's why we created Anima.

It allows you to run sequential and parallel animations with few lines of code and simple syntax. You can pick any of the 89 animations and 33 easings or add your own.

Installation​

The plugin is available on the Asset Library.

Manual Download​

The latest version can be manually downloaded by cloning this repo and copying the contents of addons/anima into the same folder in your project.

Custom nodes​

Anima provides those two additional nodes:

  • AnimaNode, used to handle the setup of all the animations supported by the addon
  • AnimaTween, is the custom Tween used that allows the magic to happen :)

Animation Declaration​

Animation declarations are used to tell anima how to animate a single node, group or grid:

Example​

Anima.begin(self) \
  .then(
    Anima.Node($node) \
      .anima_animation("tada", 0.7)
  ).play()

NOTE in Godot 4.0 you'll be able to wrap everything in parenthesis to avoid repeating "[variable].":

# Works on Godot 4.0 only:

var anima = (
  Anima.begin(self)
  .then(Anima.Node($node).anima_animation("tada", 0.7))
).play()
