To date, every version released has been under 3 MB, despite the fact that it does not make full use of Windows' native interface, carrying some graphical elements of its own.

In the past few years, newer versions have been released, introducing features such as undo and redo commands, keyboard shortcuts, an improved renderer and morph targets.

Anim8or's latest stable version, 1.0, was released to the public on May 29, 2017 and includes an updated user interface, more modeling and animation tools, and STL support for 3D printing.

While originally designed to work with Windows, users have reported running it successfully on Apple computers with Virtual PC and on Linux with WINE.

This means that it can be pasted onto a USB memory stick or other removable media and run directly from it on any computer that meets the minimum specification.
