Dem - Layer-Based Animation System

Dasky Design in Animation


Blender 4.5+ Compatible

A NEW WAY TO ANIMATE IN BLENDER

Build motion through independent animation layers instead of managing hundreds of keyframes.

Save over 50% of your animation time.

Time saved is money earned.

Create, combine and edit animation in real time. Reuse complete setups, stay flexible through every revision, and bake everything to native Blender keyframes whenever you need.

A Complete Animation System

DEM is not a collection of animation presets or one-click motions.

It is a complete animation system that lets you build movement through independent layers, each with its own timing, easing and controls.

Control Timing with the DEM Timeline

Edit the timing of every animation layer directly from the DEM Timeline. Move, resize and organize strips while the animation plays, so you can see the result in real time.

Combine Simple Layers into Complex Motion

Combine Move, Rotate, Scale, Pivot and Visible layers to create complex custom animation while keeping every part of the movement separate and editable.

Animate Multiple Objects as One System

Animate entire groups of objects using offsets, distributions, random timing and layered motion, without animating every object individually.

Offsets Distribution Random Timing Explode

Animate Objects, Cameras and Lights Along Splines

Create fully editable path animation for objects, cameras and lights, with precise control over movement, orientation, Follow Tangent and Look At.

Add Procedural Noise and Natural Variation

Add controlled secondary motion through procedural Move and Rotate noise. Adjust intensity, frequency, seed and fades without changing the underlying animation.

Copy, Paste and Reuse Complete Animations

Copy complete DEM setups between objects, including layers, timing and custom easing curves. Build an animation once, then reuse it on other objects.

NATIVE OUTPUT

Bake to Native Keyframes. Export Anywhere.

Convert the final result to native Blender keyframes whenever you need. Keep working live with DEM, use it on render farms, or bake the animation for export and other production workflows.
