Animant: Spatial Memories

Turn your photos and 360° videos into spatial memories with Animant. Create an Environment from a panorama, take a 3D Scan of a key object, and animate the movement of models in your space — all on your device. Animant enables anyone to create immersive memories of what matters most.

For decades, 2D photos have been the way we've preserved what's valuable. Imagine if you could step inside your photos to relive those moments, capture the depth of key objects instead of a single perspective, and share these experiences live with others. Animant makes this future possible.

FEATURES:

Environments: Anyone can create immersive backdrops from panoramas and 360° videos. Choose from your Photo Library or browse samples from the beautiful outdoors. Video Environments also support Spatial Audio, so it feels like you're there.

3D Scan: Bring your physical space into your virtual scene in an entirely magical way just using your device’s camera. Create a detailed 3D model from a real object (requires an iPhone or iPad with LiDAR or a Mac), or create a 3D plan of your room (requires iPhone or iPad with LiDAR scanner). You can even combine Room and Object captures to see how furniture would affect your room’s space, and animate it all together with Storyline. 3D scans are fully compatible with USDZ so they're ready for any big project.

SharePlay: Experience spatial memories with your friends. With Animant and SharePlay, everyone can immerse themselves into the same space and observe animations as they happen live. You can create virtual classrooms to teach complex concepts, capture 3D models from physical rooms and objects to share product designs, create movie watch parties and so much more.

People in AR: When people walk inside your scene in real life, they appear fully immersed inside your virtual environment. From hands to entire bodies, People in AR acts as an instant green screen.

Animations: Animate the look and transform of objects and apply interactive triggers, like changing an object’s texture when it’s tapped, or moving its position when another object is in its proximity.

Screens: View 2D images, PDF documents, and flat videos with Spatial Audio right alongside your 3D content.

Siri Shortcuts: Animant integrates with the Shortcuts app, so you can create image-based textures, projects, or even instantly start a 3D Scan from the Action Button.

Textures: Apply images to shapes to give them an appearance that mimics their look in real life. Browse from the expanding selection of textures in the Animant Store, or apply your own regular, or UV-mapped images to your models.

USDZ Support: With Animant Pro, take objects or entire scenes into any other 3D composition app by exporting your objects as a USDZ file — the industry-backed standard for 3D content. Start a project with the benefits of Animant’s simplicity, and take it further in other apps. Or if you want to bring an existing 3D model into Animant, just import it as an Asset.

iCloud Syncing: Start a project on your Mac, edit it on your iPad, view it in AR on your iPhone. Whatever your workflow, Animant keeps your content up to date.

Create unlimited Projects, Assets, Animations, arrange your models with words, and more with a subscription to Animant Pro.

See your ideas in a way you’ve never seen before.
