Toonsquid, Procreate, Nomad Sculpt... What do they all have in common? Yes, they're all iPad apps, that give creators powerful tools in a compact, lightweight device, but more than that, they are all upfront single purchases. No subscriptions.

Fun fact for anyone down in the comments here, if you're worried about the import feature into the library and only being able to import one image at a time, you can import more than one image at once! Click the plus button, import from photos (as you have to do photos for it sadly) then press and hold on an image and it will allow you to select multiple to import! I am unsure if it works for files but you can try that as well with files. Hope this helps anyone :D

Hey Brad, guess what, ToonSquid now has the ability to export assets to be used for other projects in its 1.9 update. It also now has the ability to make shapes using a brush stroke, like in Procreate.

YES! I'm so excited you found this app too! I've been using it since launch and it's improved so much! Literally the Animate and After Effects (Motion Graphics wise) for iPad XD

Great you got around to using it, I've been using it for a month, and been seeing it rise to the tops of the charts. I had a feeling you were going to love it too when I saw the upload. I need audio scrubbing which it has and other bigger programs don't have(CSP) , it has a camera, which Callipeg doesn't have, and it has vector and bitmap layers (Which I wish adobe added to Animate), custom brushes, and etc, really cool. It's like if Flash and Procreate had a baby. Can't wait til further development.

Couldn't have found this video at a better time! I searched high and low for a good application and for some reason didn't find anything useful. Got this video suggested to me today and I'm really happy with this new app. Thank you so much Brad! ❤

Purchased this app right after I saw this video. I started playing around with it and I am extremely pleased with how it works and everything you can do with it. So this is my thank you for recommending this app. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been looking for this type of app that makes it so efficient for my animations. Keep doing what you’re doing and know there’s always someone (like me) that appreciates your content. 😁

Oh god, how much did you pay?

Well, I was watching a Procreate tutorial, (cats-it’s waaay out of hand), and noticed your video on the side panel. Needless to say, ToonSquid along with Nomad & Procreate, is now part of my artistic portfolio. I would have never known had I scrolled past. Everything you said is spot on. Ease of use, excellent UI, and powerful. It has the Davinci brush set to boot. Great App and great presentation!

YOU COVERED IT! I was waiting for this, found this about maybe a month ago but haven’t used it much 🫠 smooth brain on animation programs in general haha (got tired of years when FlipaClip would delete my animation man…)

This looks awesome! Your review has already convinced me to try it out, I love that it’s a 1 time purchase.

It seems like animation apps on the iPad are slowly getting better, but it still feels like the skill ceiling on an app like this is much lower than some of the apps on desktop. I'm still waiting on the day Toon Boom Harmony is ported to iPad (hoping that since Harmony 21.5 they moved to being M1 native, we see an iPad version at some point in the future).

@pablomonzon87

Жыл бұрын

i´d love that, or TVpaint wich is my dream, but i´m afraid that day is not coming any soon. This animation companies are very reticent to do that. The best animation app right now, take it or leave it, is Clip Studio Paint. I think it´s really professional beyond the awckward timeline and frame management.

@SkipperWing

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I was super excited to move to ToonSquid (pretty much everything I do that isn't animation, I do on iPad, nowadays). But a bit of chug eventually developed in a workfile I was doing because I was working purely in vectors, which TS wasn't fully equipped to handle. There's also the issue of not being able to distort symbols the same way you can in the desktop apps (yet, anyway). I'd also love for ToonBoom to come to the iPad, but I hope that, if they do, its in a form where the interface is designed for the tablet (and not having access to a keyboard/hotkeys) rather than simply porting over the desktop application.

@LucasSaturn

Жыл бұрын

@@SkipperWing Honestly I just want Toon Boom to be directly ported, with no UI change. I think the biggest issue these iPad apps have, is they want to make everything touch accessible, but that means they just can't implement a lot of key functionality in an understandable way for touch. I think the best example is DaVinci Resolve - they've managed to port the key functionality so far (with more coming), whilst keeping it (as far as I can tell) quite close to the desktop app. That is what I'm after, desktop power in a portable application.

In the Timeline, drag the duration of the image to length of your animation, just as you would other layers.

For adding things to your library: Could you use Stage Manager with your files app open on one side and ToonSquid on the other side, then drag and drop files into library?

hey Brad, your dog is so cute., Your art is Awesome Brad

That might be useful in future. Thanks a lot! Don't even know how could I find this new somewhere else (:

Brad, the software is great, it even works on my iPad Air 4. However, if you plan on making your videos with the animated Brad, yellow background, and lip-syncing, you better have one project as the main rig setup, and duplicate it for future projects. Why I'm telling you this, because right now ToonSquid isn't able to share assets from one project to another.

I like in adobe animate to use the stroke brush tool over a form to be able to separate it and then using the fill tool with too different colors and after that erase this stroke on all the images by once with the multi edit, which is a real time saver.

Hey, Brad. I would love to see a comparision between ToonSquid and the animation features of Adobe Fresco. I downloaded this app several months ago (after watching this video), but then stumbled on the previously unheard of Adobe Fresco. They have a some cool features for non-animators like myself to create animations quickly (animations that track on a drawn path without frame by frame drawing, cloning an animation to make a swarm of them quickly, etc). I want to find a simple to use animation app that allows me to skip as much frame by frame drawing as possible. I have seen glimpses (such as using a puppet in Adobe Character Animator, animatiing on a path in Fresco, the quick keyframe animation in ToonSquid, etc), but none of the programs seem much faster than the others. What is the simplist, fastest app to animation simple animations for a non-animator? I'm a teacher and like to animate the curriculum we are learning to help keep my student's attention. We move pretty quick so I can not spend a month on a 3-4 minute animation. I do not like the look of Animaker, whiteboard animations, etc. I would like to create my own characters, etc....but much more quickly.

7:51 When I think of what you're saying, I think of the hand drawn Disney films.

You said vector shapes… My mind immediately went HOLD UP… I’M LISTENING!

My son wants to get into animating. I know nothing about iPads. What generation do you recommend for this to work for someone starting out?

It's clunky for sure. I just may draw in procreate and animate in this. I just got it a few days ago and started making my own custom brushes( I learned I gotta use pngs), if you import a jpg texture it not only will not work, but you cannot delete it from program. I never realized how much I use the selection tool! Trying to use the selection tool trying to change colors, sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. You are on one layer, but if you don't lock other layers stuff will move. It does do some cool things, tho! So far, It's worth the money I paid!
