Fantastic Learning Tool!

This is a fantastic learning tool for people intimidated by more complex software like Blender or Maya. It reminds me of when I first learned 2D animation with a Nintendo DSi and FlipNote Studio—yes, it is extremely limited and in no way useful for professional or client work, but if you don’t have easy access to a good 3D-ready PC for whatever reason, this is the best way to learn 3D animation so that you can be prepared for more complex, “proper” 3D animation software when it’s time to use those instead. The free companion Anima Sculptor does increase the types of animations you can make with this, but like how Keke Flipnote on Twitter has managed to put out some incredible stuff using only a 3DS and FlipNote Studio, I plan on completely maximizing the potential of the default assets (which is less daunting when it doesn’t have a bazillion features like Blender) before I move on to more advanced stuff.In short, this app is great for learning and setting limits so you don’t wear yourself out trying to make a Pixar movie on your first try by yourself, but of course you won’t be able to use this professionally outside of quick little GIFs or MP4s on social media. It will prepare you for industry-standard software and practices, however.

I dont like it so hard to use and andis so hard to do something as simple as make anew frame or move the charecters! dont knmow why im reveiwing on a free app but seriously dont waste your time

Developer Response
Hi! Thank you for the feedback, and sorry you couldn't seem to figure out how to use the app. To control characters/objects, simply click on them and change their attributes with the keyframing section at the bottom of the screen. Also, to control how many frames are in a project, simply click on the frame counter and enter your desired number of frames. All of this information (including many other helpful tips) can be found in the Help Center from the main menu.

stupidly hard by adding frames adding and moving charecters

Developer Response
Which aspects are hard to use? If you have specific criticism, I am more than willing to address any issues. Please feel free to email me if you'd like (contact is in the Help Center). A lot of thought and work has been put into Minima Animator to make it easy to use and accessible for students and young people while still providing professional features.
