Animated Drawings by Meta AI is a web-based fun tool that makes animations out of doodles. It is an open-sourced project that’s primarily aimed at bringing children’s drawings to life — giving their characters an illusion of motion.
Here are the steps to start using the tool:
- Upload your drawing,
- Let the AI find your character. You can help it by resizing the “selected area” box,
- The AI will separate the character from your drawing to use it for animation,
- You can use tools like pen and eraser to add a part of the character that is neglected but is actually a part of the body (or remove a highlighted part as it is),
- The character’s joints will be traced to enhance the animation.
- The AI uses these joint locations to animate your character with motion-capture data
- Finally, you can select any of the multiple animations available and watch your doodle come to life!
The animation can’t be downloaded, however, it can be shared across various social, media platforms.
Is Animated Drawings free? Yes, the tool is completely free to use. You don’t even have to sign up to get started.
