The modern home of computer animated animatronics
Blubuild is a simulation and animation engine built from the ground up for animatronic shows the likes of The Rockafire Explosion. Blubuild lets you create and animate shows without investing hundreds of dollars making real animatronics, as well as letting you animate real world animatronics by exporting a selection of shows to an Arduino-compatible board or using one as a relay.
