It all starts with AI-native Production Logic and Infrastructure
Felix Studio – The first production platform built for film and television studios that require creative control, continuity, and integration with existing pipelines.
Felix Studio and Layout Engine
MetaBull replaces prompt-driven workflows with structured production logic and story context using proprietary AI models and agents. This enables repeatable, predictable, and controllable automation across the creative process.
Built for studios. Deployed on prem or in the cloud. Integrated with your tools.
Layout Engine
Build complete 3D scenes in minutes, not days.
Each shot is a complete full-scale 3D scene that includes character placement, motion retargeting, blocking and initial animation, camera control and movement, dialog, and ADR. Automatically.
The Layout Engine converts your story and 3D models into fully realized 3D scenes and shots. Add an animatic, and the Layout Engine closely follows your creative intent.
Felix takes care of the repetitive tasks, so your creative team can focus on, well, being creative.
With the time-consuming layout work complete, you and your team can edit and animate the shots seamlessly in Blender, Maya, or Unreal to deliver the final, finished pixels.
This short cartoon was produced by MetaBull using its AI platform. MetaBull respects intellectual property and uses AI to automate production. No generative AI was used and no flies were harmed in the making of this cartoon.
Felix Studio + Production Hub
The complete production pipeline for animation includes the incredible Layout Engine with seamless integration for Blender and other industry standard tools. Custom pipelines and workflow automations are available for studio partners.

Beyond Generative
Felix delivers powerful automation that enables complete creative control and continuity shot to shot. All while reducing the costly time and effort spent on repetitive tasks—saving up to 70% on most animation budgets.
Felix uses your models together with AI for automation, so the content you create can earn copyright protection.
Better than Previz
Now you can envision your projects in full 3D with camera, motion, and dialog. Using your models, Felix renders Previz in full 3D automatically to enable early, rapid visualization of scenes and shots.
MetaBull's approach blurs the lines between Previz, Layout and Production with teams leveraging Layout for Production.
AI for Production
Artists and animators can leverage MetaBull's conversational AI and specialized agents for animation, editing, coverage, and compositing—even editing multiple shots with a single prompt.
Felix enables seamless integration with standard industry tools. Render 4K and verticals on your farm or ours for complete automation.
Promptless GenAI
Felix can automatically generate images and video from popular systems like Veo or Sora without prompting—MetaBull's "Promptless" GenAI is available alongside your 2D and 3D pipelines.
MetaBull takes much of the guess work out of GenAI with its proprietary automation. This leverages GenAI for backgrounds, objects, and special animations.
Prompt in Blender 5
Felix is now integrated with Blender 5. Run MetaBull's agents and conversational AI directly from Blender to automate production on your local machine. Switch easily between Felix and Blender.
Leverage the power of the MetaBull Layout Engine to create dozens of shots quickly, then finish your animation in Blender with this seamless integration.
ADR/Lip Sync
Felix provides advanced ADR (Automated Dialog Replacement) with external audio files and multi-language lip sync capabilities for seamless dialog production across almost any language.
Begin with dialog generated by Felix in the Layout Engine, complete with lip sync. Then use ADR to replace the audio with final voices and the lip sync updates automatically.
