## What is Animatoon?

Anima Toon is a unique 3d modelling and animation program for creating and animating voxel characters easily.

Model and animate a 3D character with keyframes using onion skin guides in order to pose your characters.

Create and save clips of your animations to reuse and modify on other characters.

Modify the character and then seamlessly switch back and forth with the animation scene.
The built in renderer allows you to preview your character in modelling and animation modes with soft shadows and HDR lighting.


Create infinite varieties of characters (including four legged animals )based on the character templates included along with access to a library of animations and models such as walks, runs, idles, fights etc. The timeline allows you to copy, paste and delete keyframes along with simple navigation to zoom in and out of frames.

The intuitive rig controllers have smart manipulator guides to accurately pose and animate your characters.

Gesture driven controls allow frame operations to be done with speed and precision.


Export your 3D animations as .GLTF and .FBX files so you can import them in popular packages such as Blender, Maya, Unreal and Unity 3d.
Import .VOX files from Magicavoxel to seamlessly add backgrounds to your character animations.


*Non-linear character animation and 3d modelling workflow

*Infinite variations based on inbuilt rigs and library animations

*Export as .GLTF runtime animations to use in Blender, Maya, 3dsMax,Unity 3D etc
