Stykz For Mac

Stykz is a stick figure animator for Mac OS X that offers you the tools to create, edit, preview, and export your own animations via an intuitive and user friendly workflow. The application is compatible with Pivot projects, and follows the same editing principles, but also integrates additional functionalities.

Thanks to its intuitive interface, finding your way around the Stykz application is fairly intuitive: the main window is reserved for editing and enables you to control your figures, the frames panel keeps track of all the separate images, the Figure Properties panel enables you to customize the currently selected figure, while the Commands palette enables you to create buttons for commonly used functions.

Stykz allows you to create a figure Library that you can employ to import frequently used figures into new projects with a simple drag and drop into the stage area. Lastly, in a separate player window, you can easily preview the animation before exporting.

The Stykz figures come with multiple control points and you get to adjust their position in the stage area. When you are satisfied with a scene, simply start working to the next one by creating a new frame.

The best part is that the Stykz panels also display the figure position in the previous frames: this way, you can approximate better where to move the stick figure control points. Note that Stykz also includes a couple of simple objects: you can easily add single lines, circles, or squares.

Working with the Stykz animation editor proves to be extremely easy to use: the figure processing is reduced to drag and drop actions, you have full control over your frames, and you get to preview the project before exporting. In the end, the only limitation is your imagination.
