Infinity Animations has had a huge code overhaul and has now entered beta with a Windows version!

Infinity Animations patches Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal to support additional creature and character animations (referred to as ‘animation slots’ by the community). It also offers a compelling automatised process of making claims for these added game animations, acting as a central hub for anyone who would like to add animation entries to the game without being bogged down by issues of mod conflicts and incompatibilities.

A complete list of all the animations added can be found here.
