Alien Forma 0.7.4 — Assemblies in motion

An experimental Animation workspace, coordinated joints and a more direct MCP workflow. The robotic arm is an editable CAD demonstration, shown in the Orbital Light theme.

Robotic arm in Alien Forma

Animation is experimental. For now, the most practical way to set up motion is with an AI agent connected through MCP. We are improving manual setup in the interface to make it simpler and more intuitive.

Improved since 0.6.9

  • Complex assemblies: improved opening and editing responsiveness, with more reuse of unchanged geometry.
  • Camera and selection: more consistent navigation and focus, with independent user and AI cameras.
  • Motion reliability: improved composed joint rotations, pose updates and consistency between the selected pose and its capture.
  • MCP control: steadier connection feedback, explicit manual control and fewer repeated requests.
  • Everyday operations: refined project opening, orthographic views, hierarchy placement and clearer inspection feedback.

New in this update

  • Joint-driven animation, per-joint keyframes and partial joint poses.
  • Visual deformation previews and sampled-pose distance inspection.
  • PNG sequences and optional GIF output through MCP.
  • World-bounds queries and batch edits with Undo.

Native A3 export in millimetres, with orthographic views at 1:3 and isometric at 1:4. Some fixed sheet labels remain Portuguese. This is a reference drawing, not complete fabrication documentation.

Downloads and checks

  • Windows x64 portable: Forma-windows-x64-portable.exe. No Node.js required. This separate portable download is unsigned.
  • CLI/browser application: Forma-cli.tgz, requiring Node.js 22.12+ and a compatible Chrome/Chromium browser for MCP.
  • Microsoft Store: Windows installation. Install and manage updates through the Store.

The current maintenance build is 0.7.4. It improves MCP tool discovery and handoff between agents. Windows portable and embedded-Node MCP checks passed for this build. The original 0.7.0 CLI passed native installation and basic MCP checks on Linux x64, macOS Intel and Apple Silicon. SHA-256 checksums are attached.

Known limits

Motion and sampled surface inspection are design aids; they do not certify continuous collision clearance or physical strength. Structural analysis is experimental and needs supported external solver components, not bundled in these public downloads. No private runtime, profiles or project files are included. Isolated MCP sessions switched to English can still have workspace-selector limitations; the visible shared-session workflow and package checks have separate scopes. See the MCP guide for setup.

Developed by CongestedAI with AI assistance and open-source libraries. Third-party components retain their own authorship and licences; notices, Electron and Chromium credits accompany the downloads. The original application source remains private.
