Skelly - Art Model - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Hey artists! Tired of scouring the internet for reference material? Does the NSA think you’re a weirdo for looking up all those skeleton pictures? Got no-body to pose for you? Its going tibia ok, the Skelly app is just what you need! With the Skelly app you can literally pull the inspiration you need right out of your pocket anywhere, anytime!

Skelly is a fully poseable, anatomically correct reference skeleton for artists. A simplified version of the skeleton is also included, named “Robo-Skelly”. These figures were created to make the study of anatomy easier and more enjoyable for students and professionals without leaving your wallets bone dry. They can also be used to inspire poses for drawing, painting, sculpting, illustration, animation, comics, manga, storyboarding, twerking, and to fully understand the anatomy of the human skeleton. No need for super gluteus, Skelly comes pre-assembled and ready to pose as soon as you launch the app!

Learning the structure of the human body is the skeleton key to drawing the figure in an anatomically correct manner without having to clear your browser history to avoid awkward conversations with your loved ones. Whether you want to make works like Michelangelo or Miyazaki, Skelly will help you focus on your art and let you personalize his poses, rather than searching for reference material and hiring models. Learn to draw the skeleton from any angle without the inconvenient and morally questionable need to go grave robbing.

PEOPLE LOVE IT:

James Gurney, author of ‘Color and Light’ and ‘Imaginative Realism’ Says:

"Bend him, twist him, contort him! The Skelly app lets you put a virtual human skeleton into any pose, and to see him from any angle, and in any lighting. It’s a great tool for art students or professionals wondering what the skeleton is really doing beneath a life pose, or for anyone wanting to visualize a pose from scratch. The interface is intuitive to learn and easy to use, without sacrificing any of the nuances of the human body’s complex range of movement. Skelly is a big improvement over the old wooden mannikin."

- Chris Oatley, Director Of The Oatley Academy Of Visual Storytelling Says:

"Skelly is the fastest, most fluid anatomical reference I have ever seen. I was shocked at how easy it is to pose the figure and direct the light source. Finally! It’s the app visual artists have been waiting for."

User friendly

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)

Good, could be great

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.

Don’t waste your money or time

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.

It’s helpful but not.

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.

Not useful over time

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

This app is so annoying

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.

Limited usefulness

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.

Um...

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.

Only missing one thing to be perfect

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

Too much money
