Disruptive, fast and easy Akeytsu provides a very simple access to create 3D animation. It offers the most intuitive and innovative character animation and rigging features for the game and Indie game creators.
## About This Software
To be delisted from store by end 2019. There will be no more update for this
product.
3D animation software did not evolve that much during the last 20 years...
until Akeytsu, a brand new 3D software dedicated solely to animation and
rigging developed by nukeygara came out on the market. Disruptive, fast and
easy Akeytsu is an intuitive software for Indie game creators.
## akeytsu's motto: designed by/for animatorsā¦ designed to be easy and fun
Even if 3D animation is intrinsically an artistic endeavour, it unfortunately
has been transformed into a high-level technical activity by most of the
software in the market. These programs are overly complicated with an endless
learning curve.
With its artistic-oriented approach and its unique interface, akeytsu breaks
up classic standards of current broad-based solutions by providing a new
"animation & rigging only" workflow built on simplicity, rapidity, velocity
and ergonomics.
The result is an uncompromising design where each and every feature was
thought for animators. And not only for professional animators, akeytsu is so
easy that now anyone can create quick posings and have fun by discovering 3D
animation.
## game industry as target
At nukeygara we made a choice : providing 3D animation access to the huge
community of game/indie game developers. Most of them stick with 2D due to 3D
issues: overly technical, skills lacking in teams, long learning curves, etc.
This situation has to change ! The first akeytsu version and its solid FBX
format support in/out fits perfectly with game studios needs and especially
Unity 3D or Unreal Engine workflows.
