Make anything feel alive.

Describe the physical setup once. The solver produces every frame. OddlyAlive turns physical intent into natural, repeatable motion without animation keyframes, cloud inference, or renderer lock-in.

Why it exists

Intent in.
Truth out.

Most prompt-to-animation systems ask a model to guess transforms frame by frame. OddlyAlive lets AI choose and configure a bounded physical recipe, then gets out of the way.

A fixed-timestep simulation authors the motion. The result is seek-safe, testable, reproducible, and ready for SVG today or another renderer tomorrow.

The recipe book

Five ways to feel alive.

Each object family gets the physical model it actually needs. No solver is marketed as universal.

Ivory and brass letter charm used by the string-touch recipe
01 · String touch

Touch, catch, peel.

Pressure and friction contact move flexible strands and charms through stick, slip, cooldown, and settle.

XPBD strands + contact friction
Faceted crystal pendant used by the crystal-mobile recipe
02 · Crystal mobile

Weight at the end.

Terminal masses turn strands into pendants and mobiles that swing, lag, and return with believable weight.

Weighted strand terminals
Basketball used by the rigid ball material recipe
03 · Ball lab

Material you can see.

Collisions expose restitution, friction, spin, and seeded variation across loose round objects.

Rigid circles + material response
Soccer ball used by the football-kick recipe
04 · Football kick

One impulse. Full flight.

A scheduled kick is applied exactly once, then gravity, spin, friction, and the net carry the scene.

Rigid body + impulse
White sneaker used by the shoe-splash surface-wave recipe
05 · Shoe splash

A prop meets a wave.

A falling rigid object couples into a damped surface, turning impact into graphic ripples and living settle.

No account. No hidden service.

The public alpha runs from GitHub today. The alpha.2 candidate shown here has passed its release checks and will become the default once its final publication gate clears.

The gallery, simulation, diagnostics, and SVG rendering run on your machine. Nothing is uploaded. Scene files are JSON, and every approved candidate recipe carries a repeatable fingerprint.
