Sell on Animworks

Your work, in front of the animation industry.

Animworks is where animators come for rigs, plugins, mocap, courses and the people who make them. Submit your product below. We review every submission, and when your work meets the bar you get a full Creator Studio: guided publishing, branded store thumbnails, sales and payouts, and licensing handled for you.

Selling

You get your own Creator Studio, your products go into the weekly drops, and you keep 90% of every sale.

Creator Studio

The tooling you get on approval

Everything runs from one place: products, orders, earnings, withdrawals, licences and your profile.

Behind the scenesA look inside the Creator Studio · 10 min
Guided submissions

A seven-step wizard from basics to review. It saves as you type, so you can pause and resume any time.

Store-ready thumbnails, automatically

Drop your raw artwork and the Studio composes the Animworks thumbnail with your title, category band and software logos.

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.

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 key 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.
