Animatoon vs MICHICON

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 *Save animations as clips to reuse and share animations *MP4 export for quick renders and sharing *Import .VOX files from your favourite voxel creation packages such as Magicavoxel *Import and export scenes for collaborative workflow *Audio functionality: Import .MP3 and .WAV ,Scrub in timeline and export out with MP4 *Demos and tutorials for learning are bundled inside the app *Apple Pencil support for modelling and painting in 3D *Ambient Occlusion mode for previewing renders in realtime *Dozens of in-built library characters *Reusable animations for basic walks, runs, attacks, idles etc... Designed for animators, by animators Anima Toon can be used by beginners and pros to create 3D character animations intuitively and easily. Anima Toon has been created by Appy Monkeys, an award winning app developer with 10 years of experience in creating fun and intuitive creativity apps with over 10 million downloads on the App store and recipient of various awards such as Children's Tech Review and Purdue University's guide for STEM apps Animatoon Home Page: https://www.animatoon.org/ Animatoon Demo Videos: https://www.animatoon.org/videos.html

Full-body motion capture via iPhone/iPad! MICHICON-Plus is a full-body real-time motion capture application that captures and reflects your movements onto a 3DCG character. ・Full-body motion capture by using only your iPhone/iPad camera! When performing motion capture, it is usually necessary to prepare multiple cameras and attach devices such as markers to the target. But with MICHICON-Plus, no special equipment or professional cameras are needed, since the AI engine VisionPose can detect the user's skeleton information via smartphone or tablet camera. ・Motion capture from video files In addition to real-time motion capture, the app also provides the option of projecting movements from video files onto the character. This is a useful feature if you want to make the character do complex movements you yourself cannot perform, such as dances etc. ・Summon characters to the real world using the AR feature! Green screen background is also available! In AR mode, you can either use the camera image as background, or switch to a green screen background. By using the green screen, you can also use a separate distribution tool for chroma key composition. ・Export motion data! (PRO function) Using the motion export function, you can send motion data in CSV format by email. ・Become one of your favorite 3DCG characters ! (PRO function) In addition to our original character Michico, you can add characters posted on the 3D model platform “VRoid Hub”. For more details, please check the 3D model usage conditions of VRoid Hub. https://hub.vroid.com/en/ *AI pose estimation engine "VisionPose Single3D", developed by NEXT-SYSTEM Co.,Ltd., is used for this application. *Adding characters and motion export in CSV are available for a fee. For details, please refer to "About Upgrading to the PRO Version" below. *We used VRoid to create 3DCG models of Michico.
