Tutorials

AnimatLab has a number of video tutorials that show you how to use almost every aspect of the application. The video tutorials below lead you how to build various systems in a step-by-step method. The tutorials are split into various functional sections. There is a lot of information available here, so I have put together a list of tutorials that will help you get started using AnimatLab as quickly as possible. These tutorials will show you the basics, and then you can explore the others at your leisure, or as you need them.

If you have found a bug, need to report an issue with the program, or would like to suggest a modification or addition to the program then please use submit a ticket to the bug forum.
