Animation Builder

Build a GTA V animation pose by pose in your browser, without a video, and export it as a ready FiveM resource.

What the Animation Builder does

The Animation Builder lets you make a GTA V animation without a video. You pose a ped at a few moments on a timeline, and the builder fills in the motion between those poses. The export is a .ycd animation that any human ped on your FiveM server can play, packed as a resource with its own chat command.

Play runs the four poses in order. The builder fills every frame between them, so the hand swings out, in and out again, and with Loop on the last pose glides back into the first.

Idles and poses: leaning, crossed arms, hands on hips, a guard stance.
Gestures: a wave, a salute, pointing, a shrug.
Short loops: a nod, a squat, a stretch that repeats without a jump.

It all runs in the browser. Posing and playing back are free; you pay once, when you export.

Builder or AI Animations

SwisserAI has two ways to make an animation. They give the same kind of resource:

	Animation Builder	AI Animations
You start from	Nothing. You set the poses by hand.	A video of one person.
Best for	Poses, idles, gestures and simple loops.	Dances, fast moves and anything with lots of motion.
Price	400 credits per export	From 750 credits per animation

A still or slow animation is hard to film and comes out rough from a video. That is where the builder is the better tool. For a dance, film it and use AI Animations.

What you download

Every export is one zip with a complete FiveM resource named after your animation:

File	What it is
`stream/friendly_wave.ycd`	The animation itself.
`fxmanifest.lua`	The resource manifest, ready to go.
`client.lua`	Adds the chat command, here `/friendly_wave`, that plays the animation on your ped.

stream/friendly_wave.ycd
The animation itself.
fxmanifest.lua
The resource manifest, ready to go.
client.lua
Adds the chat command, here /friendly_wave, that plays the animation on your ped.

There is one version, played on the spot. Unlike AI Animations there is no walking version and there are no extra loop clips; the builder's Loop is built into the one clip.

What it costs

The credits are charged only when the export succeeds. A failed export costs nothing. Every change after an export needs a new export at the same price, so play the animation through before you press the button.

What it cannot do

Fingers and face. You pose 17 body parts from head to feet. The fingers and the face cannot be posed.
Mirroring. There is no mirror button. Pose the other side by hand.
Two peds. Each animation moves one ped.
Moving across the floor. The ped stays on the spot. You can sink or lift the body, but not walk it through the room.
The preview ped. You always pose the same male ped. The result plays on female peds too.
Opening an export again. An export clears the saved poses, and an exported animation cannot be loaded back into the builder.
