How AI is used
Generative AI was used during development as a programming assistance tool and to help create selected pre-generated visual assets and marketing materials. All such content is reviewed and curated by the developer. Battle Animator does not generate AI content during runtime and does not connect to external AI services.

About Battle Animator
CREATE. ANIMATE. BRING HISTORY TO LIFE.
Battle Animator is a 3D creative tool for building and animating historical battle scenes without the complexity of traditional 3D animation software.
Import your own map, build your armies, plan their movements, animate the camera and turn the course of a battle into a video.
You know the story. Battle Animator helps you show it.
BUILD YOUR BATTLEFIELD
Turn your own historical map into a 3D tabletop battlefield. Add historical units, NATO-style military symbols, flags, camps, fortifications and other objects – or import your own 3D models.
Battle Animator is not tied to a specific battle, country or historical period.
Your map. Your armies. Your battle.
ANIMATE THE BATTLE
Draw movement routes directly on the battlefield and use keyframes, phases and chapters to organize the action.
Coordinate multiple formations, create attacks and retreats, and animate the camera to move from strategic overviews to close-up shots.
Adjust lighting and environments to create the visual style your scene needs.
RENDER YOUR VIDEO
Render the finished animation directly into an MP4 video in resolutions up to 4K at 60 FPS.
Your videos are ready for further editing or use in documentaries, educational content, presentations and other creative projects.
BUILT BY A HISTORY CREATOR
Battle Animator started as a tool for my own work.
I am a history teacher and the creator of the YouTube history project Dejepis z domu. I wanted a simpler way to visualize historical battles without having to build every scene in complex professional 3D software.
What started as a tool for my own videos is now being developed for history creators, teachers, researchers, wargamers and enthusiasts who want to bring battles and military history to life.
You bring the history. Battle Animator brings the battlefield to life.
