Anim8 vs F.A.T

Anim8 lets beginners and hobbyists create 3D Character Animation in a fun and intuitive manner. Anim8 is being used by 3500+ schools globally in order to train kids and adults in 3D Animation since 2015 Animate 3D characters by posing 5 existing characters in 3D space with a simple interface and easy workflow, perfect for first time students of animation and for animators looking to hone their skills. *Simple UI, easy learning curve.Start animating in minutes. *Advanced articulation in all rigs lets animators create full body animation with ease. *Drawing tool lets you sketch out your key poses on the screen. *Onion skin feature allows you to plan out poses and timing precisely. *Share and upload all your videos online.Facebook ,YouTube and Twitter support included. *Characters include Bipeds,Dino and Quadruped with over 30 points of articulation. *Lesson plans on the website and demo animations bundled in the app give teachers great course content.

Using F.A.T allows you to create quick animations on the go with complete freedom. Simply create a new animation, keyframe the character, adjust inertia settings for subtle secondary movement and then export the skeleton to an industry standard BVH format. With the animation created you can import it into any 3D program such as Blender, MotionBuilder or Cinema4D and more. From these programs, it's easy to either characterise the animation to your character or export it to game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, CryEngine, Godot and many more. Navigating the 3D Scene is easy, use two fingers to rotate and three to pan around. A single finger or Apple Pencil is used to manipulate the blue nodes into different poses. After you make a pose you want to capture, simply click the Set Key button. We make changing your keyframes simple. Use either the Copy or Cut Key buttons to move the Red keyframes along the timeline and paste the saved keyframe to a new time or overrite a keyframe. With F.A.T you can also use a procedural inertia system to help create subtle secondary motions on your character. Activate the Procedural Inertia Motion button which will turn on the blue bulb and adjust the slider above it to introduce inertia to your keyframes.
