3D animation that happens in a browser tab.

Key transforms, materials and parameters on a timeline, retime them in the dopesheet, and shape the in-betweens in the curve editor. Drivers link one value to another when a key would be the wrong tool — and when it's finished, path-trace a still or a flicker-free turntable without leaving the tab.

Online 3D animation in a browser tab — a lit scene in the Mixos Studio viewport, with the outliner, material strip and timeline around it

A real timeline and dopesheet

Key transforms, material values and modifier parameters, then retime them by dragging keys in a dopesheet — the ordinary animation loop, not a canned preset list.

Curves, not just keys

Shape the in-betweens in a curve editor: ease a move, overshoot a settle, flatten a hold. Drivers link one parameter to another for the cases where a keyframe is the wrong instrument.

Render it properly

Path-trace a still or a flicker-free turntable straight out of the browser — the same scene you animated, no export to a separate renderer and no farm to configure.

Nothing installed, anywhere

Mac, Windows, Linux, a Chromebook, a locked-down work laptop. If the browser has WebGPU the scene opens, and it's the same scene on every one of them because it lives in your account.

Why Mixos

What browser-based animation is actually good for

Most things billed as online 3D animation are either a template filler — pick a preset, swap a logo — or a viewer with a play button. This is neither. The scene graph is real, so you parent objects and animate the parent; the keys are real, so you can retime and re-curve them; and the render at the end is a path tracer rather than a screen capture.

The natural fits are motion tests, product turntables, exploded views, camera moves, looping graphics and simple character or prop animation — work where the value is in the idea and the timing, and where a two-hour setup tax is the thing standing in the way. Because it runs on the GPU in the browser, the setup tax is zero: open a URL and scrub.

The honest boundary is simulation and rigging depth. There is no cloth, hair, particle or rigid-body solver, and no full character rig with IK chains and constraint stacks. Anything leaning on physics or a production rig belongs in a desktop program. Everything up to that line — transform animation, parameter animation, cameras and cuts — is here.

Animating and previewing are free, with no watermark and no trial clock. A paid plan covers exporting the finished render and the underlying mesh, which is the point where the work leaves for an edit, a client or an engine.

Frequently asked questions

Can you really animate in 3D online?

Yes. Mixos Studio keyframes transforms, materials and parameters on a timeline, retimes them in a dopesheet, and lets you shape the interpolation in a curve editor — all in a browser tab, on the GPU, with nothing installed. It then path-traces the result in the same place.

Is online 3D animation free?

Animating, assembling scenes and rendering previews are free on any Mixos account, with no time limit and no watermark. Exporting the finished render or the mesh is on a paid plan.

Can it do character animation?

Simple character and prop animation, yes — parent a hierarchy and key the transforms. What it does not have is a production rigging system: no IK chains, constraint stacks or skinning tools of the kind a desktop suite provides, so complex character work belongs elsewhere.

Does it do physics or particle simulation?

No. There is no cloth, hair, particle or rigid-body solver. Cloners and effectors cover a lot of the motion-graphics ground people reach for simulation to get, but genuine simulation is out of scope today.

What can I export?

Rendered stills and turntables, plus the scene geometry as GLB, glTF, OBJ, FBX or STL and its PBR map sets — enough to take the work into an edit, a game engine or a print. Export is the paid step.

What browser and hardware do I need?

A browser with WebGPU — current Chrome or Edge on Mac, Windows, Linux or ChromeOS. No dedicated GPU is required; a better one mainly means the path-traced frames resolve sooner.
