cutan
Cut-out animation for an: rigged characters, faces and expressions, lip-sync, swap sets and views, impacts, and cut-out styles, as a genre package on the an core.
pip install "an[cutout]" # an + the stage + cutan
an character new maya --offline
an finds cutan through the an.genres entry point and loads it with an.genres.load() (the CLI and an.load(project) do). The scene format, rendering and the asset library are an's; see its README.
What is here
cutan registers with the core:
- the
characterentity kind and theplayandexpressionactions, the[emotion]dialogue sugar and the semantic checks that go with them (cutan.genre,cutan.characters,cutan.expression); - the rig, face, viseme, blink, gaze and swap-pose compile passes over the
an.stagecompiler (cutan.compile), and the mouth and eye visuals of the stage runtime (cutan/runtime/visuals.js); - the lip-sync providers
offline,rhubarbandwhisper(cutan.audio); - locomotion, speech, blink and turn methods with their requirements and defaults, and the cut-out vocabulary;
- the
an character …andan impacts …command namespaces; - the style lint (
python -m cutan.verify.style VIDEO <style>) and the named style specs it measures against, shipped as package data:cutan.style_spec("south_park"),python -m cutan.stylesto list them (thecutan-styleskill applies one).
The cut-out bench corpus (misc/bench/), examples/ and the demo gallery (misc/demos/) live here too; cutan.bench.run_bench() runs the corpus through an's bench runner.
Names that never change
Moving the code renamed nothing that is stored. Scenes keep renderer: cutout, the genre keeps its slug cutout_animation, character descriptors keep their document kind and version, and asset ids keep their character. prefix. These names are in cutan/__init__.py. The old an.characters, an.expression, an.impacts, an.audio.offline_lipsync-style import paths still work in an, with a MovedModuleWarning.
Where data lives
The genre's asset library and agent-made projects live under ~/.local/share/cutan by default. Set CUTAN_HOME to move them. The core's own library (voices, sounds, fonts) stays under an's root, and a project reads both as one search path.
Working on cutan
Read CLAUDE.md. In short: pip install -e . --no-deps next to an editable an, then pytest. The tests that render need a headless browser (playwright install chromium) and ffmpeg.
