Puppet Play 🎬

Turn your movie idea into reality in real-time with Puppet Play. Using your own movement in VR, quickly and easily animate a wide variety of characters (not only puppets) and props to realize any idea in minutes.

You have the idea, we have everything else!

TL;DR: Turn any idea into a movie in minutes! No prior experience required!





Grab an object → press record → move it around & repeat!
No need to watch hours of tutorials before getting into the action! Easy and straightforward to use with unique tools designed for VR that make animating fast, easy and fun! With Puppet Play EVERYONE can animate!





Choose from a large selection of characters, props, items & sets! Combine anything to create whatever you can think of!





Import custom sound files (mp3) & images (jpg, png) simply by drag and drop! Images can be attached to Puppets, like items, so they follow their movement!
More import options are planned for the future (3D objects, Sets & of course characters!)





Animating is not your thing? Then why don't you just become the puppet? Motion Capture (Mocap) can be used on all humanoid characters.





Move puppets over large distances! And have you ever tried to animate the hands after the body is already moving quickly? Trust me, its a pain! Use remote control to .... remote control limbs!





Once your movie is complete you can simply export it as a normal video (mp4) and share your masterpiece with everyone! Honestly can't wait to see what you will create :)




Puppet Play is being developed by a team of freshly graduated students from Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Puppet Play started as a semester project in the study "Animation and Game" at the campus.
