Effigy 0.2.0: picture upscale and redraw, your own 3D models, IK targets and poles in the animation editor, and the first AMD GPU support.

What's new

  • Upscale or redraw a 2D picture at any size (M61). Keep parts of it unchanged with a mask.
  • Bring your own model (M62): import a textured model, bake its own textures, then rig and animate it like a generated one.
  • IK in the animation editor (M63): the armature is drawn the way Blender draws it, with IK targets and poles you can drag and pin. The IK controls are saved with the clip.
  • AMD GPU support, the Fast engine only (contributed by @LukeLikesGit in #9): an AMD Radeon RX 9070 / 9070 XT on Windows. run.bat recognises the card and installs the AMD (ROCm) environment by itself. Not on AMD yet: Faithful, the character chain, motion from text or video, and other AMD cards. Details: docs/howto/amd-rocm-windows.md.
  • run.bat now writes run.log next to itself: which GPU it found and, on AMD, the install's output. Include it when you report a problem.
  • Refreshed README, SETUP, MANUAL and the agent guide.

Requirements

  • Windows 11.
  • NVIDIA: an RTX 40 or 50 series card with 16 GB of VRAM and driver 575 or newer. 12 GB works for the Fast engine, best effort.
  • AMD: an RX 9070 or 9070 XT, with the Fast engine only.
  • 32 GB of RAM recommended.
  • 70 to 160 GB of disk, mostly models. You pick which ones to download.

Install

  1. Download Effigy-v0.2.0-win64.zip below.
  2. Right-click it → Properties → tick Unblock.
  3. Unpack it to a short path such as C:\Effigy.
  4. Double-click run.bat.

Updating from 0.1.0: unpack the new zip into the same folder and replace files when asked. Your library\, models\, Python and Blender stay, and run.bat installs only what changed.

The step-by-step guide is SETUP.md; every page of the app is explained in MANUAL.md.

Licence: MIT. The Blender scripts in blender_ops/ are GPL-3.0-or-later and run as a separate process. Model licences are listed in licenses.yaml and on the app's Licences page.
