What Is Eclipse Animator?

Eclipse Animator is a Roblox Studio animation plugin released in October 2026, inspired by Blender's animation workflow and positioned as the flagship free alternative to Moon Animator after that plugin went paid. Its feature set reads like a community wish-list: inverse kinematics with a toggle, unparenting for complex rigs, live editing while the timeline plays, and support for any Roblox animation type — capabilities that previously demanded paid tools or awkward workarounds.

The launch made headlines in the Roblox dev community for its pricing model: free to claim for a limited window — roughly three days — after which the plugin becomes paid-only. Claimed copies stay tied to your account permanently, which turned the launch week into a stampede and the question everyone asks now: did you claim it in time? This wiki documents the Eclipse Animator Roblox plugin from launch — the claim mechanics, the workflow, the comparisons — for the people claiming, the people who missed it, and the people deciding whether to buy.
