Eclipse Animator Roblox Plugin

Eclipse Animator is the flagship animation plugin for Roblox Studio by riftkuro — an IK/FK rigging toolkit with a graph editor, animation layers, live collaboration and a Blender import pipeline, positioned as the modern Moon Animator alternative.

Roblox Studio plugin By riftkuro (verified) $19.99 - launched free Oct 14, 2026 v1.0979

Get it on the Creator Store Asset ID 86116556258301 - the only official source

Avoid fake downloads: there is no Eclipse Animator "download file" anywhere — no .rbxm, no mirror, no Discord attachment. The plugin is claimed once on the Creator Store listing above and then loads inside Roblox Studio. Any site offering a separate download is not from the developers.

How to install it

1
Open the Creator Store listing
Use the official link above (asset ID 86116556258301) while logged into the Roblox account you build with.
2
Claim the plugin
Hit the get/buy button on the listing — that's the entire "download". Nothing saves to your computer.
3
Open it in Roblox Studio
Find it under the Plugins tab. If Studio was already open when you claimed it, restart Studio for it to appear.

Price status: Eclipse Animator launched free on October 14, 2026, and the free window quietly ended a few days later — the store has listed it at $19.99 since around October 20. If you claimed it while it was free, it stays in your inventory.

What it can do

The feature list on the store page is long — here's what the headline items actually mean.

Feature	What it does
IK / FK toggle	Switch a limb between inverse and forward kinematics while posing — feet stay planted when you drag the hips
Graph editor	Shape the easing between keyframes with curves instead of flat interpolation
Animation layers	Stack motion in separate layers — edit a wave on top of a walk without touching the walk
Motion paths	Draw the path a part travels so you can check arcs and spacing
Dynamic parenter + unparenting	Re-attach a part mid-animation — the classic "hand a prop between hands" problem
Live collaboration	Animate in the same file with other people at the same time
Camera tools	Live camera previewer with targets and part attachment, plus optional Blender-style viewport navigation
Physics & ragdolls	Let physics drive secondary motion and ragdoll poses
Library	Saved poses, animations and faces you can re-use across projects
Module Exporter	Convert animations and cutscenes into scriptable module files
Blender pipeline	Import a Blender armature and export animations both ways — a free companion add-on (Blender 4.2+) comes from the same developers
Grease pencil	Draw notes and timing marks over the viewport

Keybinds worth learning first

The workflow borrows Blender's vocabulary — G grabs, R rotates.

Key	Action
`V`	Insert keyframe
`X`	Delete keyframe
`G` / `R`	Grab / rotate, Blender-style
`T`	Switch axis
`Y`	Toggle global / local space
`J` / `M`	Scale keyframes / split keyframes
`Ctrl + B`	Open camera view
`L`	Show camera grid
`B`	Toggle onion skin

Eclipse Animator vs Moon Animator 2

The question everyone asks — they're different plugins by different developers, both paid.

	Eclipse Animator	Moon Animator 2
Developer	riftkuro, with Seven	xsixx
On store since	October 2026	February 2020
Price	$19.99 (had a short free launch window)	Paid, goes on sale periodically
Maturity	Days old — the listing itself warns "expect some bugs"	Years of updates, established workflow
Standout extras	Live collaboration, Blender armature import + two-way export, Module Exporter	The reference plugin most tutorials assume

Rule of thumb: try Eclipse if you want IK, layers and the Blender pipeline, or you animate with a team. Stay on Moon Animator 2 if you already own it, have a deadline, or your files are built around its workflow.
