Electus Animation Creator

In-game FiveM animation creator with timeline keyframes, GTA animation importing, paired characters, props, reusable poses, and direct YCD export.

Summary

Electus Animation Creator is an in-game visual tool for creating custom character animations in FiveM. Pose individual bones, add keyframes, preview the result, and export the finished animation without leaving the game.

Features

In-Game Animation Editor

Create and edit animations inside FiveM. The complete tool opens in-game, so animations can be built and tested without switching to an external program.

Visual Skeleton Editor

Select body, hand, and face bones through the viewport or skeleton list. Edit each bone's position and local rotation with the transform gizmo.

Timeline Keyframes

Build animations with individual timeline tracks for each bone. Configure the duration, frame rate, playback position, and keyframes.

Complete Bone Control

Animate the root, torso, head, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and facial bones.

GTA Animation Import

Import existing GTA animations by entering an animation dictionary and clip. The imported animation becomes editable keyframes inside the project.

Configurable Sampling

Sample imported animations at 12, 24, or 60 frames per second. Facial and finger bones can be included when the animation needs more detail.

Paired Animations

Add a second character to create synchronized paired animations. Both characters share the same timeline and preview clock.

Relative Character Positioning

Position and rotate the second character relative to the first character to keep paired scenes aligned during playback.

Prop Attachments

Import props from CodeWalker XML files and attach them to character bones. Adjust the prop's position and rotation with the viewport gizmo.

Reusable Pose Library

Save the current frame as a reusable pose. Poses can contain the complete skeleton or only selected bones.

Project Prompt Generator

Create a project prompt from an animation description, motion style, duration, frame rate, loop setting, and current character rig.

Complete Project Context

The generated prompt includes the current skeleton, attached prop, project timing, and motion settings. No external service is called.

Local Project Saving

Projects save locally while editing, allowing work to continue without recreating the animation.

Animation Preview

Preview the complete animation inside the in-game tool before exporting it. Playback controls allow the timing and movement to be checked throughout the timeline.

Direct YCD Export

Export the completed project as a streamable YCD animation resource.

FiveM Resource Loading

The tool provides the server commands required to refresh and load the exported resource.

Bablo Animation Menu Integration

Add exported animations directly to the Bablo animation menu. Configure the command name, menu label, and playback flags during export.

Playback Flags

Configure looping, holding the final frame, upper-body playback, secondary tasks, additive blending, and interruption behavior.
