Early Access

Mannequin is currently in development, which means that some of the features are still incomplete and/or unpolished. By making it available now through early access, we're hoping to gather as much input as possible from end users regarding how well it integrates to their workflow. If you're still unsure about supporting this project and wanted more info before deciding, you can try out the Demo and read some of our Development Log check out our Twitter account (due to resource issues, we're halting development log updates until next year).

Demo version has all the functionalities from the latest stable build, with the export feature being disabled as the only limitation.

For Mac users, the only way to install Mannequin  for now is via the itch.io desktop app. Furthermore, the Mannequin app is not signed and/or notarized yet, so you might find it incompatible with macOS 10.15 with the Gatekeeper enabled (which is the default settings).
