Hello!
I’m excited to introduce Solar Preview, a Roblox Studio plugin designed to streamline your animation workflow.
Have you ever wanted to quickly preview an animation whether it’s from an asset ID, a KeyframeSequence, or a CurveAnimation without writing test code or running your game?
Solar Preview solves that problem by giving you a fast, interactive animation preview directly inside Studio.
