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...

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3D Model Importer PBR Edition at 100% against Animatoon's 43%. Animatoon's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 1.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animatoon holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animatoon has 407 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Animatoon's written reviews are positive against 100% of 3D Model Importer PBR Edition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
