Faithful to the original.
Keep the lines, textures, and expressions that make an illustration recognizable. Movement should build on those choices.
AN ANIMATION STUDIO & RUNTIME
Give art
motion.
Preserve
its soul.
Your illustrations have a story to tell. Help them move without losing what makes them yours.
Create and refine animation on your own system, with tools that keep you in control of how the artwork moves.
Start with a moment in the woods.
Plate No. 01A moment in the woods
with a little movement.
Original illustration. Motion is off.
Every movement should feel
as though it belongs to the artwork.
CHAPTER IIA closer look at the system02
A whole studio.
Entirely your own.
Ploutos combines powerful hardware, customized AI models, and animation tools in one system, configured for your work. Computer vision and physics engines help you explore how an illustration could move.
Start with an illustration, try a movement, and adjust it until it feels right. The whole process runs on your equipment, so you can work privately and keep your files close.
Your work stays on your own system.
Create with the studio.
Share it through the runtime.
CREATE WITH THE STUDIO
Make every detail yours.
Use AI to explore movement, then review and refine the details yourself. You decide what to keep, what to change, and when the animation is ready.
SHARE WITH THE RUNTIME
Bring your work to an audience.
Bring finished animation into the Ploutos game engine or your Swift and Android / Kotlin apps. The runtime lets people experience the work you’ve made.

WHAT MATTERS TO US
Care, in every frame.
Beautifully considered.
A small shift in weight or a well-timed pause can make a character feel alive. Take the time to get those details right.
Private by nature.
Work offline, with illustrations, models, prompts, and files stored on your own system. You choose when and how to share your work.
Always in your hands.
You direct the animation and approve the result. AI can help with the process, while you make the choices that shape the final work.
CHAPTER IIIFind a place for your work03
Some worlds
are too wonderful
to stand still.
Whether you’re publishing a picture book or sharing a museum collection, motion can give people another way into the artwork.
Book publishers & illustrators
Give readers a reason to spend a little longer on the page. A character turning its head or a leaf drifting through a scene can open up the story without changing its style.
Historians & archives
Help people explore an illustrated source in more detail. Carefully directed movement can invite new questions while keeping the original at the center of the experience.
Art galleries & museums
Draw attention to a gesture, a brushstroke, or a detail visitors might otherwise miss. Use movement to invite a closer look at the collection.
Filmmakers & creative studios
Try out movement in concept art and story sequences before taking an idea further. Explore the scene’s rhythm while keeping the look of the original drawings.
