How do I export an animation in Eclipse Animator?

Save your project first, then export. The official tutorial shows Save project at 2:53 and Export animation at 2:57. Both are short steps shown on camera in the developers’ own 13-minute walkthrough.

What is the Module Exporter?

A feature on the official listing: “instantly convert your animations/cutscenes to scriptable files.” Instead of a plain data export, Module Exporter turns your work into scriptable files you can use in your game’s code.

Can I export an Eclipse animation to Blender?

Yes, both ways. The free Eclipse Blender add-on moves rigs and animations between Blender and Eclipse, and the listing advertises Blender → Eclipse and Eclipse → Blender animation export. See our Blender add-on guide for the exact buttons.

My export does nothing — what now?

Restart Roblox Studio first: Creator Store plugins load their newest version when Studio starts, and the listing updates almost daily. If the export still fails, walk through our troubleshooting page, which covers export problems among other fixes.

Eclipse Animator Export: How to Save & Export Animations

Export an animation in Eclipse Animator

Quick answer

Eclipse Animator exports in two ways: the built-in Export animation function (the official tutorial shows it at 2:57, right after Save project at 2:53) and the Module Exporter, which converts animations and cutscenes into scriptable files. You can also move animations between Eclipse and Blender with the free Eclipse Blender add-on.

Animating is only half the job — at some point the animation has to leave the editor. Here is every export path Eclipse Animator gives you, with timestamps into the developers’ own tutorial so you can watch each step.

Before you export: save the project

Eclipse works on a project inside the plugin, so the first step is saving it. The official tutorial covers Save project at 2:53. If Studio closes before you save, the project is gone — the animation lives in the plugin, not in the place file, until you export it.

Export the animation

The Export animation step is at 2:57 in the official tutorial, immediately after saving. The chapter right after it, Close animation at 3:01, shows how to close the project cleanly once your export is done.

If you came from the beginner tutorial, this is step 7 — the last one. Everything before it (rig, keyframes, posing) only sets you up for this moment.

Module Exporter: animations as scriptable files

Besides the plain export, the listing advertises a Module Exporter: “instantly convert your animations/cutscenes to scriptable files!” For cutscene-heavy games this is the interesting path — instead of importing a data blob, you get files your scripts can work with directly.

Moving animations to Blender (and back)

Eclipse ships a free companion add-on, Eclipse Blender, that syncs rigs and animations between the two programs. The listing lists both directions: Blender → Eclipse and Eclipse → Blender animation export, plus Blender armature import. The full setup — installing the add-on, exporting a rig, pairing the connection — is in our Blender add-on guide.

The plugin itself is Paid — $19.99 USD on the official store (as of 2026-10-23) — exporting is part of it. Be wary of any site selling a separate “exporter” tool or download for Eclipse animations.
