Finally, an easy and truly affordable program for everyone, even children and those who are denied to use the computer, has been released to create 3D animation films and cartoons from scratch . Those who have no professional intentions and do not want to start studying manuals will find in Muvizu the ideal program to create 3D animations .
This free 3D animation software makes the technical art of drawing movies and cartoons extremely easy for anyone, with full control of the camera, light, visual effects, backdrops, music, dialogues and much more.
All you need are just your imagination and a couple of hours of time (or 20 minutes, depending on what you want to do along the film) and you absolutely don't need to be familiar with technical drawing and graphic modeling.
NOTE: the program shown below, Muzivu, is no longer free, therefore I refer to the list of the best and free graphics programs for PC
Muvizu can be downloaded for free and installed on the computer but, to use it well, a decent level graphics card is required.
Note that the download is a 500 MB file and that it includes the Unreal game engine.
The program provides a wide range of options to edit and animate a large collection of characters, objects and various elements.
There is no need to start creating the elements and characters of the cartoon, nor do you have to worry about having to set up 3D animations, modeling and rendering objects.
The user must become a director of an animated film and simply choose objects and characters from the collection provided and place them in the center of a scene.
These objects and characters are, of course, completely customizable in the color of the skin, the clothes, the hair and the hairstyles, the eyes, the mouth and the lips and so on.
All this does not mean that you cannot create characters and objects from scratch but, in this case, you have to engage with 3D modeling.
If you want to use Muvizu to have fun, you can leave this modeling work to others and take advantage of the graphic objects shared and made available, free of charge, in the collection.
To animate the characters of the cartoon you have several pre-configured movements to apply on the subjects or on their parts of the body.
For example, you can animate the movement of the character's head, the movement of the eyes and the movement of the hand in three different steps.
When the animation is ready, head eyes and hand will move as determined, simultaneously.
This decomposition of the animation sequence allows users to easily create even complex character animations.
In short, Muvizu, more than an animation and 3D modeling software, is a program to direct a cartoon as if you were a director, without wasting time in the creation but focusing on the plot and the choice of shooting on the scenes.
To find out more about the Muvizu software, I suggest watching video tutorials, including those that show how to customize fonts and how to make a simple animation.
Finally, I remember that some even simpler web applications with which to create cartoons online on the computer.
