Grapple Studio

Overview & Technical Capabilities

Grapple Studio is an advanced browser-based 3D character animation and move coupling suite designed specifically for multi-character interaction, combat sports choreography, and synchronized grapple mechanics. Powered by a high-performance WebGL 2.0 viewport, it allows technical animators to pose, coordinate, and align both an Attacker (Execute) and a Defender (Receive) character rig simultaneously with zero latency and zero installation.

Dual-Engine Features:

• Simultaneous Dual-Character Viewport: Articulate the Attacker (Blue rig) and Defender (Red rig) side-by-side with instant viewport hotkey toggling (Target switcher: E ⇄ R).
• 6-Axis Coupling & Move Alignment D-Pad: Nudge spacing across Ground (XZ) and Front (XY) planes with discrete increments from 1.0 to 100.0 units without altering bone rotations.
• Frame-Persistent Non-Destructive Slide System: Adjust contact distances on individual keyframes. The engine maintains your visual staging during playback without contaminating original .zf3d animation files.
• Wrestler Facing Orientation Controls: Instantly flip between Face-to-Face (Front grapple) and From Behind (Rear waist-lock) setups, or perform an in-place 180° Defender pivot.
• Unified Dual Package Export: Export individual .execute.zf3d and .receive.zf3d binary files or generate a combined .zip package containing both synchronized motion tracks ready for engine import.
