Pivot Animator Packs -

Exploring the intersection of materials, chemistry, and design.

Unlock the full potential of stick figure animation.

Since its release in the early 2000s, has remained the go-to software for beginner and intermediate animators. Its simplicity is its strength: a plain white background, a simple stick figure, and a timeline. But the real magic happens when you move beyond the default stickman.

The packs are more than just files. They are libraries of passion, creativity, and the stubborn belief that simple stick figures can tell powerful stories. Pick a pack, load a figure, and start moving — one frame at a time.

Inside the Lab

Our Impact and Collaborations

We are proud that the Smart Materials Lab is the leading team in impactful chemistry research in the United Arab Emirates, with research output that, according to the Nature Index, accounts for 40‒60% of the total chemistry publications within the country, both in fractional count and weighed fractional count. The past and current research projects in the Smart Materials Lab have been sponsored by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), Human Science Frontier Program Organization (HFSPO), and the UAE National Research Foundation (NRF), in addition to generous financial support from NYUAD and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The members of the Smart Materials Lab work closely with NYUAD's Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM).
