Manikin 4+

This app is great!

I love this app! I am still getting used to everything and it’s a bit difficult to form the manikin into positions, but I can guarantee that’s all on me, not the app, and once I get more used to it I think I will love it even more! I really love that you can also change lighting, and all the features are so cool and useful and I think it’s incredible! Definitely one of the best art apps I have ever seen, and getting used to forming the manikin will totally be worth it!
I do however have one suggestion: I LOVE that you can click on individual joints and adjust them, and so I was thinking that it might be a bit nicer if there was a forth adjustment to change the width of the limb, and a fifth for the length, just so that on each piece we can move it into any body shape we want and make some shorter, some taller, some a little more hour glass or pear shaped, whatever! With that added, I think the app would be PERFECT! As it is now, I love it, and so I’m not disappointed at all, but if the body shape could be adjusted, and not just different options but so the app users can change it (because everyone’s body shape is at least subtly different). Besides that I can’t think of anything to make this awesome app better! And if that feature isn’t added that’s fine too, I can try to change the shape in my head although I’m not the best artist so I’d like the feature if possible 😛

Thank you very much for taking the time to write up this extensive review. We had other users request this and it’s on our list but we need to change the 3D models to do this properly. We’ve been considering a crude scaling function, but it would not have very elegant results. The next series of 3D models would be built differently and should be able to handle this scaling better. In any case it’s on our list and we’ll see we get it in there. Again thank you very much for the review! 🙏🤘

Fantastic for comic creators

Love this app! It’s super easy to use and understand. The controls are precise and not overly sensitive which makes other posing apps tedious and time consuming to use. There’s a decent amount of props to choose from including a good selection of weapons which makes my life as a comic creator sooo much easier.

There’s two main mannequins to choose from. One is large and quite lanky while the other is small and has more childlike proportions (which is great for anime/cartoons). You can adjust the overall size of the mannequins including their individual body parts so it makes it easy to accommodate for your art style.

I would be cool if there were more props to choose from and the process of saving and loading scenes is a little strange, but overall I’d say it’s $8 well spent.

So much fun buuuut....

I got this app thinking I could do short movies with it because it showed on the video that you can take pictures and make it into a moving picture. But sadly when I downloaded it I never saw any button or anything showing you can make an animation. So I did some research and from what I understood it says you can’t. I got very confused because the video said you could! But overall this is a very useful app! The introduction is very simple and short which I really like because some apps have super long intros that are hard to understand and remember! It’s so fun making poses and very useful for artists who need reference poses. But for me I don’t need that so it gets boring after a while and I would keep this app for maybe even years and years if you could make a short movie!

The whole reason I got it was for that so it would be a more amazing app if you could maybe make animals or buildings for free and all these things would be so useful if you could make a movie. But I know it’s very hard to add these things and I don’t expect the developers to add any of these things but I really do think this app could be on another level of good if you could make a movie. It could be a game that all ages would get and have a blast!

Please I really have not found a free game that can make a movie easily! I have had this app for literally for about 20 minutes so I’m not sure if these things are even available. I love this app though it’s so much fun!

Hi Avonette, sorry for the late reply I was sure I answered but apparently I never posted. So first off thank you very much for writing up this review. We had others who had the same idea so maybe we need to change up our introduction video. It’s hard though because the usage of the app combined with the animations intrinsically gives the impression that you can create your own animations. Also animation is something we want to do in the future but right now we have enough on our plate delivering purely posing. We are very happy to hear you like the app and specifally the introduction, we worked/are working very hard on it 😊
