Skelly - Art Model

Super helpful and easy to manipulate. My one suggestion would be adding an option to remove bones/parts to isolate a specific view of the skeleton (for example, being able to remove arms for a clearer side view of the spine and rib cage)

There seems to be a lot of negative feedback regarding this apps usefulness - so let me say that it was exactly what I expected for the price, and while it’s usefulness is limited, I believe the convenience and flexibility (haha) is what warrants the cost. I would like to make a few suggestions; first, the ability to lock the joints. This has been mentioned a few times, and I think it would be handy. Second, the ability to change the FOV of the camera; as it stands you are forced to use one and only one, and it’s not always what you want. Third, an undo button. As a game developer, I have some experience in Unity (the engine this app runs on), and my suggestions should be trivially easy to implement - and because most of the negative reviews focus on the low value of the app, these added functions may be a step in the right direction.

I never wrote a review for an app before but this app so is useless I had to warn people. It will take forever to set up a pose and it won’t be accurate in the end as all the joints move 360 degrees not the actual range. If you’re going for a wacky pose then go ahead but if you’re trying to replicate a photo reference Do Not Buy this app not worth your time nor money.

I liked the idea, and the controls for the skeleton positioning is intuitive enough, but the camera controls are absolutely horrible... you can zoom in and move it left to right, and then can rotate the skeleton, but trying to get the view in the right angle is extremely frustrating. You have to select the hips and then rotate that in order to try and fix the angel... why not just let you do whatever and then use the normal finger movements for moving the camera like every other app in existence. Let me just kiss my fingers to rotate the camera instead of having to rotate the skeleton. There are free programs on the internet that let you do similar, and are bound to normal limitations on the body, this you can wrap the torso around the pelvis a dozen times. Worried that my models will have impossible positions so any drawings will be awkward.

At first it’s great but honestly not worth the money in the long run.

You can’t even make smelly do a new pose! All you can do is ever so slightly move the joints like making the arm flex and extend, I want to move the whole body into a whole new position and it’s impossible. Waste of 10 bucks.

There are much better 3-D skeletons. There is a limited number of poses applied and your ability to pose a skeleton is also limited. But the most annoying thing is that you have to order a copy of Skelly on each iPad you own. I ordered one for my 12.9 inch iPad but it requires me to order a copy for my more mobile 9.7 inch iPad.

Nice app to learn anatomy. I feel it would be better if the joints can be locked into some angle like how a real human works, instead of turning 360 degrees.

Hi, Very cool interface. But it works be nice to have white background option. So poses can be copy pasted in documents more easily. A more advanced feature would be to support IPad Pro split app view so you can drawn with a reference on the side. But please add white background.

Too much money
