Odyssey, the most versatile 2d toolset
Combine the power of Unreal Engine with the spontaneity of drawing
Animation & Audiovisual
Odyssey is primarly designed for the animation industry and other audiovisual production. Its numerous features free your creativity to make beautiful hybrid films and series for TV and theaters.
Video Game
Who said Unreal Engine is not made for 2D games? With Odyssey enabled, you can definitely produce amazing 2D / 2.5D video games with animated cut-scenes, sprites and tiles directly created in the engine. You can even stylise your 3D game by adding 2D FX with Odyssey!
For any visual arts
The ability to sketch and imagine new concepts thanks to Odyssey is a true asset for any industries that rely on visual arts, such as architecture, fashion, automotive or aeronautic.
For Decals, Post-processes, Foliages and more!
Texture 2D assets can be created and edited with Odyssey into a dedicated interface to make stylized environments. Create dirt masks, wall graffiti, rain drops, foliages, grounds with seamless textures... Possibilities are endless with a drawing tool inside Unreal Engine!
3D Mesh painter
You can directly paint over 3D Meshes using 3 different modes: Texture (based on the UV), Mesh and Screen (based on the point of view in the viewport). This is the best way to stylize your props and characters.
Bitmap brushes
Odyssey offers hundreds of brushes (and you can download additional packs on Fab) with numerous different styles: crayon, paint brush, watercolor, grease pencil, speedlines, etc. Odyssey brushes are blueprint-based and are highly configurable and customizable.
Vector tools
Vector drawing tools offer a higher level of control over the lines and can use a library of indexed colors.
Designed for 2D artists
The interface has been entirely designed to ease the creative process for 2D artists, and still enjoy the power of a 3D real-time software. Even those who have never used Unreal Engine before can make great hand-drawn storyboards with Odyssey.
From first sketches to production
Importing image sequences to generate storyboard sequences, placing cameras and images in space, adding transform keys and edit timing, converting storyboard sequences into Level Sequences... Everything is done to ease the transition between the different production steps.
Add details to your animatics
Odyssey includes features to turn your storyboard into an accurate and precise animatic, like adding sound tracks and displaying production notes or dialogues on screen. You want to add changes in some shots? Create takes to propose several variations!
Share your work
Thanks to PDF and video export, sharing the work done with the rest of the production team will just be a mere formality.
Dedicated interface
2D animators can feel overwhelmed by Unreal Engine complexity: this is why Odyssey provides a specific interface. No 3D, just a timeline, a tool box, a canvas and a color selector: the bare necessities of (animators') life.
Made for hybrid projects
Adding 2D animations in a 3D environment is as simple as a drag and drop. Audacious 2D animators can enjoy the power of a 3D real-time environment thanks to the 2D timeline being embedded in the Sequencer. Interactions between 2D and 3D have never been easier, whether for character or for FX animation.
Inbetweener
This powerful feature generates vector interpolations and imitates cut-out animation without rigs. This tools is terrific for quick animation tests and to teach the fundamentals of animation to students.
Between tradition and modernity
Light table (onion skin), shift and trace (out-of-pegs), cells mark, flip... All these usual features for traditional animation are included with Odyssey for artists' comfort.
Blend 2D with 3D
Any assets created or edited with Odyssey are entirely compatible with Unreal Engine and can be used in runtime for various purposes, including 2D animated cut-scenes in video games. And it works the other way round, since you can customize assets from Fab with Odyssey!
API for more customization
Odyssey API is opened to allow any technical user to create widgets, customize rendering layouts or create brushes.
Built for team work: no one's left behind!
Odyssey is compatible with native Unreal Engine tools for revision control. Instead of using multiple software and sources, embrace a technology that gathers around 2D and 3D artists within the most collaborative and iterative software: Unreal Engine.
Combine Odyssey with other plugins
There are many plugins developed by other fellows (Paper ZD, Decal Designer) to be found on Fab that can be used in complement with Odyssey.
FAQ
Is Odyssey a plugin or a stand-alone software?
Odyssey used to be a stand-alone software powered by Unreal Engine between 2023 and 2025. Since June 2025, it is a plugin for Unreal Engine distributed on Fab that can be downloaded for free.
How can I learn Odyssey?
You can read the user guide or watch tutorials on our YouTube Channel. You can also contact us and ask for a quote to get a custom training session.
How much is the tech support for Odyssey?
You can contact us for free through a form or join us on Discord to chat with our team. For advanced support including answers in 24 hours and custom development, please contact us and tell us more about your needs.
Is Odyssey open-source?
Odyssey sources are available for you to compile it on your own custom version of Unreal Engine. To have an access to our GitHub repository, please contact us.
Is Unreal Engine free?
Unreal Engine is free for personal use and education. Companies that makes more than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue shall pay a compensation. Praxinos is a value-added reseller for Epic Games, which means we are authorized to sell Unreal Engine licenses alone or included with services package, like custom development and/or trainings.
What is the minimum configuration to use Odyssey and Unreal Engine?
Odyssey requires Unreal Engine 5.6 minimum. 2D artists who work in the 2D editor only (no 3D viewport active) will need a minmum configuration of 16gb for the memory and a NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (or equivalent) for the GPU. For a hybrid usage with small / low-poly / unlit environments, a minimum of 32GB for the memory and a NVIDIA 1080 RTX (or equivalent) for the GPU is required. Odyssey works both on Windows and Mac OS.
