SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build reliable, data-driven 2D character rigs for local animation workflows, enabling reusable rig components and deterministic rendering.

Core Features & Use Cases

Data-driven rig packages with parts, pivots, layers, and joints.
Clear hierarchy and constraints to ensure consistent animation behavior.
Reusable rig assets that can be shared across scenes and characters.
Use Case: Design a mouse character with a body, head, and limbs and generate a rig package for your Remotion-driven scene.

Quick Start

Define a rig package in a JSON file with character_id, rig_type, parts, and joints, then load it into your OpenMontage scene.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a data-driven 2D character rig for animation?▼

A data-driven 2D character rig is built by defining a JSON schema with character_id, rig_type, parts, pivots, layers, and joints. This structure ensures deterministic animation behavior and reusable rig components across scenes.

What is a data-driven rig package in 2D animation?▼

A data-driven rig package is a JSON file that defines character parts, pivots, layers, and joints. It provides clear hierarchy and constraints to drive deterministic animation tooling and ensure consistent behavior.

How do I apply a character rig to an OpenMontage scene?▼

To apply a character rig to an OpenMontage scene, define your rig package in a JSON file and load it into your renderer inputs. This integrates the rig plan directly into your local animation workflow.

Can I reuse 2D character rig components across different scenes?▼

Yes, reusable rig assets can be shared across scenes and characters. The data-driven JSON rig package defines explicit parts and joints, allowing the same character components to be applied across multiple animation workflows.

Do I need explicit pivots and joints to define a 2D rig package?▼

Yes, explicit parts, pivots, layers, and joints are required to define a 2D rig package. These elements establish the clear hierarchy and constraints necessary to drive deterministic local animation tooling.

Why use a JSON schema for 2D character rigging instead of manual keyframing?▼

A JSON schema for 2D character rigging provides a data-driven approach that ensures reliable, deterministic rendering. Unlike manual keyframing, it creates reusable rig assets with clear hierarchy that can be shared across scenes.
