Seven Minecraft versions, three loaders
The game is the preview
You see a clip move in the game before you export it, in both perspectives.
- Camera view
- In First Person, the real game camera beside the rig, with Punchy! drawing your unsaved clip.
- Play in Game
- Plays the clip as an attack, or any action you pick, at the speed Punchy! really plays it.
- Game View
- In Third Person, Punchy! Moves plays the clip on your own player, seen from the front or the back.
One editor, two mods
A switch in the top bar moves between First Person, which makes packs for Punchy!, and Third Person, which makes packs for Punchy! Moves. Studio opens in the one you used last.
First Person for Punchy!
- Animation
- Keys for the camera, both arms and both grips, with sounds and events on the timeline.
- Model
- Punchy!’s first-person item models, with their UVs, painted textures, item clips, particles and physics.
- Bindings
- The rules that decide which clip Punchy! plays for which item and action.
- Library
- Your projects and the clips in your packs. Build from Pack turns any pack with Punchy! files into one of your own.
Third Person for Punchy! Moves
- Animation
- Keys for the whole body and the face, with any of 30 easing curves on a key.
- Face
- Looks, eye shapes painted in up to nine colors, and the look each reaction plays.
- Bindings
- The compat files that decide when each clip plays, field by field or as Raw JSON with the game’s verdict as you type.
