Behind the scenes

A look inside the Creator Studio

How a submission actually goes from your files to a live product page, walked through by the people who built it.

Creator Studio

The tooling you get on approval

Everything runs from one place: products, orders, earnings, withdrawals, licences and drops. Here is a preview from a live Studio account.

The Creator Studio submission wizard with its seven step rail
Guided submissions. A seven-step wizard walks you from working title to review: basics, artwork, description, files, pricing, licensing. It saves as you type, and you can pause and resume any time.
The automatic branded thumbnail generator in the submission wizard
Store-ready thumbnails, automatically. Drop your raw artwork and the Studio composes the Animworks store thumbnail for you: title, category band and software logos. Re-upload until it is just right.
The licensing step of the submission wizard
Licensing as a checkbox. If your product activates with a licence key, tell us the seats and model. We wire the keys up at approval, no licensing code on your side of the form.
Licensing

Sell licensed software without building a licence server

If your plugin or tool needs licence keys, we run the whole system. You ship a build of your plugin that asks our API one question: is this key valid on this machine?

  • We sell, generate and email the keys the moment payment clears, in your key format.
  • Seats, renewals, refunds and revocations are enforced on our server, not in your code.
  • Customers manage their own keys and seats from their Animworks account.
  • Your source code never changes hands. You compile, we license.

Licensing is optional. Rigs, mocap packs, books and courses sell as regular downloads with none of this.

What approval looks for

Everyone is welcome to submit. Approval keeps the store somewhere animators trust, which is exactly why selling here is worth it.

  • Craft. The product does what it says, and does it well. Polish beats feature count.
  • Yours. Original work you own the rights to, including every asset inside it.
  • Supported. You are around to answer questions and fix what breaks.
  • Honest. Screenshots and descriptions that match what buyers actually get.

Start your submission

Tell us who you are and what you are making. If it is a fit, we approve you, set up your Creator Studio, and your first product goes into a weekly drop.
