Meet Lens

The co-star on set.

Lens is the sample character in Cutgraph Studio, a small camera with a glass face. It's drawn live in code by the same engine that renders your export, and that exact code is running on this page.

Take one! Places, please.

Direct it

Pick a face, a pose and a move.

Eleven expressions, nine poses and nine moves. In the app this is the shot sheet; here it's a toy. The JSON underneath is the shape a shot is stored in.

Great take!

  "expression": "happy",

  "move": "idle"

Same frame, every time

Lens's motion is a pure function of the move and the clock. Preview and export use one drawing engine, with parity tests, so the frame you approve is the frame that renders.

Plays well with others

Duos and ensembles of up to five, with face-offs, fist bumps, high fives and think or say bubbles. Lens also shows up in title cards, phone-screen layouts and thumbnails.

Bring your own cast

Add your own characters from uploaded art, or compose a custom expression from parts. Character packs that add new drawn rigs are in preview and aimed at developers.
