Tools and Apps to use with hyperPad
-
I’ve become a fan of these two:
-
Graphic (iPad/iPhone) - $8.99: Full-featured graphic design and illustration application. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/graphic-illustration-design/id363317633?mt=8
-
iFontMaker (iPad) - $7.99: Font editor that lets you create your own fonts and then convert them into TTF files that you can use on your Mac, PC, or iPad. http://2ttf.com/
As a side note, this doesn’t seem like quite the right discussion but perhaps we can have a topic generated for other online resources? For example:
-
Freesound.org: a collaborative database of Creative Commons Licensed sounds.
-
Fonts.com: a store with over 150,000 desktop and web font products. Depending on how you plan to use the font, some are available for free. (Embedding the font into an app tends to be pricier than using it in a graphic…)
-

Great suggestions! I forgot about Graphic, added the mac version as well since it's great tool as well.
I'll make anew thread for other resources. Good idea.
-
@Murtaza Bex and Pixely should definitely be included in this list. The information is included earlier in this thread.

@GameCRAZY
You didn't include any links and I haven't had time to research them. No links means more work for me, which means more time before they can get added. -
Oh, sorry about that! I meant to but I guess I forgot! I'll make sure to include those when I have the chance.

Animation:
- AnimationPro(iPad): The BEST animation app on the app store for use with Hyperpad (has png image sequence export). I bought this app simple because it is the only one that has the png export. The free version is called Stick Motion animation. ($10.00)
- DragonBones(Desktop): Open-source, desktop animation software. (FREE)
- Piskel(Desktop): Online/Offline pixel art animation software (FREE)
Vector Art:
- Affnity Designer(Desktop): Adobe Illustrator Killer (current: $39.99 Reg:$49.99 w/ free updates)
2D/3D Animation
- Blender(Desktop): Popular 3d modeling and animation software with 2D animation features. (FREE)

Game Crazy in the future can you just format your submissions as I did above? Makes it soo much easier :).
Edit: And ideally all in one posts. Keep the thread less cluttered.

Anyone know a good music software for iPad that's free? Currently I'm using "Medley" But it doesn't come with the variety of instruments I Require. Also please don't say GarageBand it's not the music editor I'd prefer to use :)
-
Nothing can beat GarageBand (yes I said it) especially with the new instruments and the way you can integrate other music apps into it.
-
I use a lot of GarageBand on my iPad to make music, and even remixed one of my own songs into a video game loop for my first project.

Ink Animator
Skeletal based animation for iPad
Its still new so they'll probably be adding more features soon -
@Shady91 This looks like a good find. Downloading just because the screenshot looked so cool. THANKS A BUNCH! I like that it is based on Inkpad (which I use for vector art) because Inkpad was a solid vector app for iPad but was removed from the app store. 39.99 for the pro version might be worth it depending on the exporting options. PNG sequence, PNG sprite sheets, and gif export are ideal.
-
So happy to announce that Animation Pro released an update to trim alpha-image exports. This means that you get easy and awesome vector based animation in Hyperpad. I'll be testing it with a demo project.

Promising sprite creation app for the iPhone/iPad the best on the App Store):
Sprite Creator - Pixel Art Maker by Skyler Lauren
https://appsto.re/us/UWgrab.i -
Have you ever heard of Procreate? Its $7.99 ($8)
