History
Animux started in 2008 as a free animation toolset for independent artists. Its first release was Genesis 1.0, followed by Tremor, a 2.0 release candidate. The old wiki and blog of that time stayed online until 2026.
In 2026 Animux was rebuilt as Genesis r16: Debian 12, current versions of Blender, Krita, GIMP and Inkscape, studio tools such as Gaffer, OpenUSD and OpenToonz, a render farm on the boot menu, and AI assistants inside the programs.
