Price is a killer. This looks like something Procreate could add as a patch considering they were ambitious enough to add 3D model painting.

They already have some very basic animation feats, so you're right. They could add it just fine. Or create an animation-oriented Procreate as independent app.
The whole point, though, is that this is available on iPad devices. Last time I checked, Blender ain't there for iOS/iPad OS yet (even though Appe recently became a Blender Foundation sponsor, interestingly enough).

@@GeahkBurchill that’s because you’re uninformed and don’t know the difference between a pyramid scheme and Blockchain technology/Web 3.0/ Ethereum Smart contracts
$30 dollars a month is an absolute rip-off for this extremely basic "animation" tool. Brad is right to say Grease Pencil in Blender does all this and more for free.
I’ve been using the free version for quite a while and it’s great. But it’s aimed at professionals and not semi-pros and hobbyists - hence the prohibitive price. Such a shame, because if it was a reasonably priced one-off payment they’d make a killing.
I’m baffled by this app. So 60 bucks a month to be able to place images on different planes and move a camera around them? I can do this with other softwares cheaper or for free. I’m legitimately confused why Brad even reviewed this. You can get the entire adobe suite for this monthly price.
A few thoughts: -Calling this an “animation” app feels… (I hate this word, because I don’t think the intent is/was malicious) “disingenuous.” My reasoning being that the primary feature isn’t so much that you can move things, but that you can separate them from each other. Someone mentioned it being “parallax” and I think that fits it a lot more. -I can see how this slipped under your radar. It’s very hard to describe outside of video, and ridiculously overpriced for something that, for the average iPad user is a novelty at best. -Following the above, I can’t see what I would use this for professionally beyond the novelty of being parallax. At least, not based on what’s currently shown in the video (i.e. how good are the native drawing tools, can you draw a full 3D scene vs parallax, can you export a workfile, etc) Maybe if the idea goes viral, sure, but it doesn’t solve any particular consumption problem a regular illustration, or 3D modeling/sculpting app doesn’t already. -Also, that price. Maybe viable for professional usage as an artist tool, not so much for something that appears to be a novelty app. Which makes me feel like I’m missing something from the video, as to how it would be used commercially or professionally. Also, going to echo a few of the others, and express a little disappointment in promoting an NFT sponsor. Right now, there are more downsides (nonconsensual art theft, inability to safeguard actual art purchases, environmental effects, scarcity for computer hardware due to buyout by crypto) than upsides, so it’s a little disappointing to see an ad for them here.
I agree with you. I wasn't sure how to present it. That's why I included Storyboarding in the title too. But even then it's not a *true* storyboarding tool either. Also thanks for the sponsor feedback, it's good to know where people stand.
@@thebradcolbow Thanks for responding. I really appreciate a creator that makes an effort to engage with their comments section, and that someone like you is looking out for your audience (I use your videos in an unofficial capacity as supplemental material when helping students make purchasing decisions).
Recently I saw some effects like these in the Spotify player. It looked like the album covers in parallax mode… Maybe there’s more than we think in certain trends…
This comment really hit the nail on the head 👍 Also most of the animations I see come out of this remind me of stuff you can do with apps like CapCut where it tries to separate foreground and background, then do a parallax rotation - it's not as precise, but the whole process is pretty much automatic. So there's an easier way to do even the gimmicky part 😜 (And as someone who works in IT, NFTs were a product of a Hackathon that even the creators thought was a fluke but grifters turned into the next big hype. It's pretty much just a scam at this point, I advise folks not get involved in any way - when the crash inevitable comes people will be all tio happy to pin everyone on the wall of shame 😱)
I'm not in the "I hate subscriptions aurrghlllrrraaah" camp but 60/month is on par with the whole Adobe CC suite everybody loves to complain about. Good luck with that.
It's a year after this video was made, and the price is still insane for the simplicity of what this actually does. If it was a cheap one tome purchase, like Procreate, I'd buy it just to have a fun thing to play with in the ipad, but for an insane $60 a MONTH I won't even try the demo for their "pro level" I won't even try the demo. Imposing a limit on how many interactive web scenes you can do AFTER people pay for it seems like a level of greed I would never support, and as other people have mentioned there is much more reasonable software that does what this does.
My criticism about NFTs is the hidden costs that can result in the inflated price. I think when it comes to artist choosing to be apart of that space they will need either a user base or a platform that offers cheaper fees so they can have a bigger take away. This information is unfortunately not made clear and can leave the artist out of pocket
I heard about this app! I thought the concept is cool but when I heard it was not only subscription but also an expensive one I nope’d the hell out. Maybe procreate can steal this 👀 lol
Would love to see you tackle pro-level animation apps for the iPad, giving some reviews and recommendation. To quote The Kids Today™ -- ""This ain't it."
Hiya Brad, as an artist I am enjoying the convenience of digital art but Apple makes my innate abilities crave traditional, more hands-on, expression. I LOVE the app, if it was available on Android devices I'd spend my weekend discovering it. I'll likely invest in an iPad, just for the availability of apps like these,but I am fighting it for now. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
It’s kinda neat. I appreciate you making a video on it, I’ve mostly seen it on Instagram, which actually decreases its credibility in my book. 😕 Seems fun but ultimately not the most useful
I’ve had the app for a while and still no mention of requiring any payment but that could change any time. I’ll continue to experiment with it while free, but if it ever asks me to sub at those prices I’ll just turn to Blender. The iPad is great but still isn’t equivalent to a desktop machine and the apps designed around them.
Thank u really for all your work on this channel. It has been already awhile and still enjoy your tutorials , and skill . thank u from a cartoonist to another artist.
I'm using it a lot lately and what I can say is, it is Great, but still misisng some features, they should add a feature where you don't have that perspective moving of object, or simply an orthographic view of things, for the price, considering it only deletes the watermark, I guess it is fine, if I didn't want to pay it I can simply add some black bars over that watermarks or remove it in after effects or premiere pro. conclusion is, that if you want to have an ipad only animation workflow, this is a must have, I can imagine people importing footage from this to flipaclip and animate on scenarios created and animated in 3d. Long story short, the ipad is becoming a super dope compact device for professional animation studio in your backpack
@@thebradcolbow Of course, your Content helped me get my 1st Gen iPad and my Huion Kamvas Pro. And I can understand your view/standpoint. And only when someone says something you can take action even if those voices of concern are just a few.
@@3polygons the idea behind them is pretty bad. Imagine un ironically saying the following: " please do not right click my nft I paid $700 for it. You do not have permission to copy and paste it."

Shod we sit through the Verification process regularly? Are you going to put it on a wall? If its printed out for that, why pay a bunch of money for a digital copy of it?
@@KyngD469 The right click thing happens already to any digital art sell on internet. I don't know if you are familiar with it (like Colbow, I am an artist) but physical art is only a portion (some would say that small in comparison) of the art sold today. I don't speak now of expensive art galleries with world famous artists: those will sell anyway and in any media, no matter what. But tons of mid range (and smaller indies) artists are selling their art in digital way before the first NFT was produced. They sell both in the personal website and in stock art/photography places. It is the exact same thing than an NFT ! At least in regards of security and theft. Watermarks can be removed digitally, and art can be trace or recreated, with extreme ease. Indeed, a design can be copied, even if slightly (but there are strong legal issues with that, too). This exists since day one in digital art/audio, etc sells. And yet there's a huge business around digital artwork. First, the percentage of people buying is enough to maintain the business. Second, you cannot do a set of things WITHOUT a proper license of the artwork, be it as a digital written license, or in the case of NFTs, the NFT itself is the contract, so to speak. The analysis of the right click does leave out all the business side considerations about it. Of course fans can grab by right click a Goku artwork piece from Dragon Ball, as a JPG, but because such fan does not have the copyright of it, no commercial usage rights allowed (try to print a t-shirt with it and sell it, or sell anything), he/she might (if not is because the company doesn't need it/the kid has no traffic) get a cease and desist letter from Toei Animation (or whoever currently owns the rights of such image and character), and the fan will remove it, or the hosting company will remove such website. When it's a company infringing in this way, there might be quite worse implications (besides being a PR disaster). And... this is not different with NFTs. So, art is as protected as it was before. There are indeed more chances of your picture on the wall to be stolen. So, the warning of the artist ("please, blah blah...") is not "just" a hope of good will on your side. It is indeed a warning (some artists don't know any of these basics things, but most do. That some won't care if you are just a fan, that's another thing, but I wouldn't take the chance). That artist can take a collection of legal actions against any theft, and some of them include fines from authorities, and etc. Even more, can stop any illegal use of her/his artwork at any given moment. I can assure you any hosting will promptly execute an account ban even to paying customers (ie, the fan paying for a hosting), as it is in the TOS of any hosting, social platform (which will cancel such account in an instant) and any place on internet. To your question about the art being an original. Indeed, a NFT is about the most secure way to be sure that it is indeed an original from the author. It does not need any constant confirmation. It is stronger than a physical signature. Actually, it does not only serve for artwork, it is (and will be) being used for many other types of contracts. The last question is very easy to answer. Digital art exists since a very long while, before any block chain was invented. Digital art has many uses (indeed, currently more than printed art, in our technified society, and more relevant, as is more eco-friendly), specially in the legal aspects of it, which are the ones where the business needs (be it games, films, art for business in many different applications, etc). Indeed, the shipping and storage of physical art is WAY more expensive, and worse, causes (trucks, planes, storage facilities, etc) a huge carbon footprint, compared to digital art. Printing is way less environmentally friendly than having the art as digital. You might only be thinking about having an oil or watercolor picture to hang in a wall, but there are tons of more usages of graphic and art pieces than that. Again, specially by businesses, publications, games/film industry, graphic design companies and a large etc. All these need rights to use the artwork. It is irrelevant that it is provided through a NFT contract or a regular (paper/digital) one. In legal (and so, money related) matters, both are totally safe for the artist and the buyer. I am NOT in favor of current Ethereum (ETH) NFTs. As are *POW* based, and so, provoking a energy usage (kind of indirectly though, so, that is debated) much larger than needed, while *POS* based crypto coins are very frugal in energy usage. According to several studios, it is smaller (an NFT using POS) in the total energy use, compared to mail by plane or truck a printed art illustration/picture across the country. So, you can right now produce NFTs using such block chains, and not ETH (until it reaches 2.0, as it will become POS, if that ever happens), by doing it in Hic Et Nunc, SignArt, Kalamint or any of those which use Tezos, Cardano or etc POS based coins. And so to get your income in a much more environmentally friendly way. But the worries about copyright should be the same than in any of the pre-NFTs market, so, it's not a valid argument.
*_WAY too expensive!_* And you can't even do any *_real_* animation with it. ToonBoom's "Harmony" (of which I am no fan, either) can do the same layering, *_plus_* "real" animation. I'm not sure how pricing compares, but it HAS to be more attractive to go with ToonBoom.
Really disappointed by the sponsorship. I feel like as a channel for all sorts of creatives new or old, It feels a bit irresponsible to do this sort of thing without any warnings or give any understanding of whats involved with NFTs either from a business or ethical standpoint.
Thanks Brad, as someone getting into collages and who only owns an ipad this feels tailor made for me! I’ve been thinking of how to add more visual interest and show how much work goes into it. Breaking it down into layers is an ideal use case for me. Thanks heaps💪🏿
Hi Brad, this is a bit unrelated to the topic but I'm thinking of buying a graphics tablet, so with no screen. Did you have like a top 3 options or something I could check out?
Soo! I have done this before but now I can not get the file from Procreate to Mental Canvas without the background. Yes, I have the BG off when I export. If I tap the file in photos it shows the transparency. But when I add it to mental canvas BOOM! White background. Help me please Bradi Won Kenobi. You are my only hope.
@@thebradcolbow Is it possible to share the images (PNG files)? I am trying with my images but somehow it is not working, Appreciate your help, Thanks in advance,
It made me really sad to see you sponsoring (and hence supporting) NFTs. The conversation among the art community is really clear about them: They have demonstrated to be a sketchy pyramidal scheme that has nothing to do with art, but with money laundering. This is your channel and you are free to feature whatever you want, but please understand if a lot of creatives will not feel comfortable supporting you if you promote NFTs, especially when many artist are facing problems like art theft thanks to them. Take care, Brad.
Brad, trying to follow along but when I import the PNG, yes I am sure they are PNG's, any file I import fills transparent areas with white. Any suggestions?
Hi Brad, I'm a long time watcher of your content, your sponsor today has made me highly uncomforable and honestly dissapointed. I've enjoyed your content for years but this ain't it. There are so many issues regarding NFT's, which are easy to see when you look into them. Many more downsides than there are positives. I can't understand why you'd want to endorse this negative environment to your followers. This app feels disingenuous, overpticed and well, sorry but it feels like a clickbait title. It's far from a storyboarding or animation application, and the same features can be found in other iPad apps like Gravity Sketch or free software like Blender. Which both come without a monthly subscription of such a high price it's not worthwhile. I felt I needed to comment today because of both your choice in sponsorship and the app itself that you are promoting in this video.
That’s crazy expensive price for students. Also a subscription for something this specific seems a step too far. How much one has to charge to manage to make a living, after the Adobe tax, procreate tax etc
Mostly when there are both open source and commercial but perpetual one-time fee licensed apps, like Affinity, from Serif. And one can do this for free in Blender. No to subscriptions... :) (other than the flat rent, hehe).
When it adds Sound/ Music and animating objects/layers and a deform tool it would maybe worth the price. But then you could also use Blender or Charakter Animator from Adobe.

Of course fans can grab by right click a Goku artwork piece from Dragon Ball, as a JPG, but because such fan does not have the copyright of it, no commercial usage rights allowed (try to print a t-shirt with it and sell it, or sell anything), he/she might (if not is because the company doesn't need it/the kid has no traffic) get a cease and desist letter from Toei Animation (or whoever currently owns the rights of such image and character), and the fan will remove it, or the hosting company will remove such website. When it's a company infringing in this way, there might be quite worse implications (besides being a PR disaster). And... this is not different with NFTs. So, art is as protected as it was before. There are indeed more chances of your picture on the wall to be stolen.
So, the warning of the artist ("please, blah blah...") is not "just" a hope of good will on your side. It is indeed a warning (some artists don't know any of these basics things, but most do. That some won't care if you are just a fan, that's another thing, but I wouldn't take the chance). That artist can take a collection of legal actions against any theft, and some of them include fines from authorities, and etc. Even more, can stop any illegal use of her/his artwork at any given moment. I can assure you any hosting will promptly execute an account ban even to paying customers (ie, the fan paying for a hosting), as it is in the TOS of any hosting, social platform (which will cancel such account in an instant) and any place on internet.
To your question about the art being an original. Indeed, a NFT is about the most secure way to be sure that it is indeed an original from the author. It does not need any constant confirmation. It is stronger than a physical signature. Actually, it does not only serve for artwork, it is (and will be) being used for many other types of contracts.
The last question is very easy to answer. Digital art exists since a very long while, before any block chain was invented. Digital art has many uses (indeed, currently more than printed art, in our technified society, and more relevant, as is more eco-friendly), specially in the legal aspects of it, which are the ones where the business needs (be it games, films, art for business in many different applications, etc). Indeed, the shipping and storage of physical art is WAY more expensive, and worse, causes (trucks, planes, storage facilities, etc) a huge carbon footprint, compared to digital art. Printing is way less environmentally friendly than having the art as digital. You might only be thinking about having an oil or watercolor picture to hang in a wall, but there are tons of more usages of graphic and art pieces than that. Again, specially by businesses, publications, games/film industry, graphic design companies and a large etc. All these need rights to use the artwork. It is irrelevant that it is provided through a NFT contract or a regular (paper/digital) one. In legal (and so, money related) matters, both are totally safe for the artist and the buyer.
I am NOT in favor of current Ethereum (ETH) NFTs. As are *POW* based, and so, provoking a energy usage (kind of indirectly though, so, that is debated) much larger than needed, while *POS* based crypto coins are very frugal in energy usage. According to several studios, it is smaller (an NFT using POS) in the total energy use, compared to mail by plane or truck a printed art illustration/picture across the country. So, you can right now produce NFTs using such block chains, and not ETH (until it reaches 2.0, as it will become POS, if that ever happens), by doing it in Hic Et Nunc, SignArt, Kalamint or any of those which use Tezos, Cardano or etc POS based coins. And so to get your income in a much more environmentally friendly way. But the worries about copyright should be the same than in any of the pre-NFTs market, so, it's not a valid argument.
Reminds me of Toon Boom. Which unfortunately is also a monthly sub these days. Rip Toon Boom Studio.
It’s a little like setting up parallax in toon boom? But interactive? Ha neat! Saw this on linked in funny but though it was a VFX!
I think you as an artist are amazing. Thank you
NFT Promo is a no for me. Also uh, Blender and Unity can do this. Blender is free.
*_WAY too expensive!_* And you can't even do any *_real_* animation with it. ToonBoom's "Harmony" (of which I am no fan, either) can do the same layering, *_plus_* "real" animation. I'm not sure how pricing compares, but it HAS to be more attractive to go with ToonBoom.
Wow, I just heard about this. Really glad you did a deep dive
Awesome! Appreciate you sharing this brad!
60 a month is a lot for me tho
Cool but subscriptions are a no go.
Amazing Explanation and Tutorial absolutely loved it, very informative thank you.
WOW! Expensive 😱 I'll do on Blender 😉😏
Love this new style of video can't wait to see more!
guys im confused, mental canvas is free. did it use to be money? (talking about the ios app) plus theres no ads for me.
how is this different from the grease pencil of blender?
Use for iPad tablets.
This is way to expensive for what it does.
Really disappointed by the sponsorship. I feel like as a channel for all sorts of creatives new or old, It feels a bit irresponsible to do this sort of thing without any warnings or give any understanding of whats involved with NFTs either from a business or ethical standpoint.
Maybe you can add movement to the character like walking along in this forefront to give it life.
It looked interesting till i heard the word "subscription"
Thanks Brad, as someone getting into collages and who only owns an ipad this feels tailor made for me! I’ve been thinking of how to add more visual interest and show how much work goes into it. Breaking it down into layers is an ideal use case for me. Thanks heaps💪🏿
Please bring back the how to draw series
You can change the background color in the "scene info" menu.
Rumor has it, the question parrot is perched on the tripod. When Brad moves his head, it's because the parrot is pooping.
need help .dont know which one should i buy. MI PAD 5 PRO OR SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S7 FE. i really love ipad bud tight budget.
@Brad Colbow are you going to update the lists for best devices in your website at the end of the year? I'm looking forward to it :)
You lost me on the 'Subscription based prices'
I'll look elsewhere thanks
They do a nice job with their tutorial videos via app as well
What ipad model are you using? Which ones are recommended to use with graphic applications like clip studio paint?
Hi Brad, this is a bit unrelated to the topic but I'm thinking of buying a graphics tablet, so with no screen. Did you have like a top 3 options or something I could check out?
Soo! I have done this before but now I can not get the file from Procreate to Mental Canvas without the background. Yes, I have the BG off when I export. If I tap the file in photos it shows the transparency. But when I add it to mental canvas BOOM! White background. Help me please Bradi Won Kenobi. You are my only hope.
I'm gonna make digital presents for my friend's with this app. ❤️

Any news on this being available on Android? Thanks! Great video demo!
I haven't seen/heard anything about it yet.
@@thebradcolbow Is it possible to share the images (PNG files)? I am trying with my images but somehow it is not working, Appreciate your help, Thanks in advance,
The import image is grayed out. Is that a paid feature? (So wasn’t able to import my png’s)
Is there anything like this that can work on a HP Chromebook x2?
Thank you ♥
It made me really sad to see you sponsoring (and hence supporting) NFTs. The conversation among the art community is really clear about them: They have demonstrated to be a sketchy pyramidal scheme that has nothing to do with art, but with money laundering. This is your channel and you are free to feature whatever you want, but please understand if a lot of creatives will not feel comfortable supporting you if you promote NFTs, especially when many artist are facing problems like art theft thanks to them. Take care, Brad.
Whats the cheaper alternatives on windows?
disappointed to see you doing a NFT promotion.
Hate subscription apps! Definite no no!
Now brad how many days? 😅
Brad, trying to follow along but when I import the PNG, yes I am sure they are PNG's, any file I import fills transparent areas with white. Any suggestions?
can mental canvas use in samsung tab s 7
Hi Brad, I'm a long time watcher of your content, your sponsor today has made me highly uncomforable and honestly dissapointed. I've enjoyed your content for years but this ain't it. There are so many issues regarding NFT's, which are easy to see when you look into them. Many more downsides than there are positives. I can't understand why you'd want to endorse this negative environment to your followers.
This app feels disingenuous, overpticed and well, sorry but it feels like a clickbait title. It's far from a storyboarding or animation application, and the same features can be found in other iPad apps like Gravity Sketch or free software like Blender. Which both come without a monthly subscription of such a high price it's not worthwhile.
I felt I needed to comment today because of both your choice in sponsorship and the app itself that you are promoting in this video.
Great, but...I pay less than that for the entire adobe Suite! I get that this is unique because it's on the iPad, but I can't see the value just yet.
What about wick editor the app. Can you please please please tell us what you think and maybe how to use wick editor?
That’s crazy expensive price for students. Also a subscription for something this specific seems a step too far. How much one has to charge to manage to make a living, after the Adobe tax, procreate tax etc
Mostly when there are both open source and commercial but perpetual one-time fee licensed apps, like Affinity, from Serif. And one can do this for free in Blender. No to subscriptions... :) (other than the flat rent, hehe).
It's free to use. There's just a small watermark on top when exported. It's a good App. Try it first.
I think this is strictly for “creative” marketing execs making 100k and up a year to share mock ups
@@silverblue73 those people actually touching a pen? 🙃
When it adds Sound/ Music and animating objects/layers and a deform tool it would maybe worth the price. But then you could also use Blender or Charakter Animator from Adobe.
Thank you
Doesn't Microsoft Paint 3D have this feature?
Can you make a video on affordable graphic drawing tablet for beginners!!??
Brad can you do a vid about the gaomon of 1320 it came out 7 months ago and you already reviewed the 1560 so can you do this
Where is final export video dude?
Is there something similar for Android tablets?
Thank uuuu very much for you work thank s great!
