Build a character once and animate it forever. Draw frame by frame, drop in a rigged puppet, record a voice and let it lip sync itself. Object Show Build is an animation studio for making object shows on iPad. Build a character once. Animate it forever. BUILD CHARACTERS Pick an object — a pencil, a donut, a trophy, a flame, a coin — and get a complete character: body, eyes, brows, mouth, arms, hands, legs and feet, all rigged and ready. Dress it up from more than thirty accessories: hats, glasses, ties, watches, wings and more. Or import your own artwork, with a slot for every part, expression and mouth shape. DRAW PAGE BY PAGE Flip through pages like a sketchbook. Draw, add a page, draw again. Onion skin shows the drawing behind so you can trace the next one. Apple Pencil pressure, tilt and palm rejection are all supported, with brushes, pencils, markers, fill, shapes and text. DROP IN A CHARACTER Characters and drawings share one timeline. Put a rigged character on stage, give it a pose and an expression, and draw on top of it in the same project. Convert to Drawing flattens a character exactly as it looks so you can draw straight over your own puppet. GIVE THEM A VOICE Record dialogue and the app works out the mouth shapes for you — every key stays editable afterwards. BUILD A SHOW Group projects into episodes. Start from object-show formats: competition, race, elimination, voting, team challenge, character introduction, opening sequence, finale, victory. EXPORT Video, animated GIF, PNG sequence with or without transparency, or an editable project archive to move work between iPads. MADE TO BE SIMPLE Simple pages mode hides keyframes, camera and easing so younger animators can just draw and flip. Turn it off for layer tracks, keyframed motion, an animated camera and physics. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPAD No account. No sign-in. No ads. No analytics. No internet connection needed. Your work is saved on the device, and a backup copy is written to the Files app every time the app opens. Every shape, pose, expression and template in the app is original artwork drawn for it.
