Naomi Animation 4+

I tested this out but the FBX model I used wouldn’t import. I hope this program will add support for PMX models and export for VMD animation files. I’d love that.

PMX are files for models from the program MikuMikuDance, which is big in the Genshin Impact community. The MMD community itself is big, but because it is PC only, it means I have to sit up at my desk to use it. I hope this app will add support for MMD files and VMD motion files so I can easily import the VMD files into MMD to add the finishing touches. Please consider it ;w; thanks!

First of all, I apologize for the late reply; somehow, I missed your feedback. Please accept my apologies for that. Thank you a lot for the input and valuable feedback; we will put your request into the backlog - definitely worthy to look into that. If you have any additional ideas on how we can improve or what you would like to see in Naomi (regarding the animation industry), don't hesitate to join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/5FpxCbDr. There, we can discuss it in more detail. Thanks again for your review.

Best regards,

I absolutely love it. Just spend hours in the middle of the night achieving things I couldn't in Spline, and things I just don't wanna bother to have to do in Apple Motion or the bloated After Effects.

With this said, I think a side drawer with layers to easily select objects would be amazing, along with the ability to see and edit camera path when animating it, and of course, being able to animate Depth of Field in the camera. Lastly, not sure why the camera capture, why not just be able to export an mp4?

Summing up, the app is fantastic. These above suggestions would just make it PERFECT and earn my 6 out of 5 rating!

Thank you very much for your valuable and constructive feedback. We hope to release a new version with a 'hierarchy inspector' by the end of January, where you will be able to navigate through the entire nodes hierarchy. I hope this addresses your request regarding the layers drawer. However, if it does not, please don't hesitate to join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/5FpxCbDr and send me a direct message, where we can discuss it more deeply. Alternatively, if you have any other excellent ideas, such as visualizing the path of camera movement, it would be lovely to hear them! Best regards, Jan from Naomi team.

It’s simple to use and that’s a major plus for beginners. It does as it states so it’s worth a one-time price. But, its not worth a subscription which I see with most “Pro” level applications.

“Pro” level for M-Series iPads would be: Advanced lighting features like Nomad Sculpt or better like Ray Tracing/Path Tracing, PNG image export and/or ProRes (Procreate Dreams and DaVinci Resolve/Final Cut Pro) and easy transitions into renders like Octane X.

This app is amazing! Keep it up.

Thank you for your review. We're glad you appreciate its simplicity and functionality.

To clarify, Naomi Animation is primarily an animation software. We focus on providing a quality animation experience, so advanced rendering features like Ray/Path Tracing are not within our scope. As you mentioned, there are already many specialized apps for those needs.

You can export an image sequence (or single image) from Naomi and easily transfer your animation to other apps like DaVinci, Final Cut, and others. Advanced lighting is something we are constantly improving. Regarding export to classic renderers, you can do that as well with either GLB or FBX exports from Naomi. This is all included in the Pro version. The subscription model is currently the only option for us, as we are still in a rapid development phase, and it wouldn't make sense to sell version-based software when we update Naomi every couple of weeks.

Thanks for your understanding.
