Skelly - Art Model App Reviews

I agree with all the good reviews! Cant wait to saves poses so that I dont have to repose when I am interrupted and have to close the app.

Beautiful, easy to use. Simply perfect. Idea for future versions: option to add clothing. You could get so much just with the ability to add a dress or shirt and tie, etc.

The app I never knew I wanted so badly until I purchased it and began playing around with it. It runs smoothly, looks great, and I absolutely love the mannequin mode. Im so thrilled about this app. And only $6? Total steal. My only suggestion would be to add flexibility to the (upper) spine. The spine seems a little rigid as it is, and I would love to be able to play around with the curve to create some more dynamic poses. Obviously it would be impractical to implement the full range of movement of the spine, but just being able to slouch or bend farther back would make a huge difference!

This app literally solved every problem I have ever had (proportionality and correct structure). If I had to name a few things I would like to see added though (assuming they arent all ready coming): -Muscles on/off -Gendered skeletons -Omnidirectional light source (for when Im not shading) -Higher res textures and poly count options -And maybe, in the distant future, animal skeletons B) Thats all my suggestions. But for what it is right now, it is easily worth the price.

Could use some different hand poses and or control points on the fingers but otherwise not a bad app. Nicely modeled and proportioned skeleton.

I downloaded it,its stuck at the installing load on the app though and it has been twenty four hours and its still installing please update this!I really want to use it but I cant so its a waste of money.

This app only allows basic movement. The skeleton jaw does not rotate open - like the screenshot on the site shows. Does not have eyeballs. No save slots for saved poses. Hands do not rotate. Artpose is the app you want to buy.

I took my a long while to download Skelly, To be honest the price kept me from it before but my curiosity won out today. Upon first glance, this looks really great and useful. Thank you! Proko and team.

I know programming/implementing features into Skelly here is probably a real pain, but do you guys have a way to enable a floor for him? Doesnt have to be default, but a floor where I can centralize him in respect to where Im looking at him from.

I agree with everyone - great app, great price point. In the next round, if you could save / load a pose - this would so helpful. Also, I like how you limit movement to the major forms - not going in too detailed. For me, this is a benefit … so I can “see” the pose without obsessing about the details in the app … I can do that in my drawings. Bravo! Highly recommended!

This app is good for making a quick sketch of the skeleton in a certain position. It helps you get an idea of the structure. The only thing I would recommend is this: hand articulation. At this point, the hand is one unmovable mass, but maybe in the future you could let each finger be oriented. Also, for some reason if I have about 7 or more saved poses, the app starts to slow down. Maybe thats just my phone.

This is an incredibly unique app. Im the owner of SF Iron and a strength coach who teaches clients how to correctly perform squats, presses, and deadlifts based on efficient biomechanics. Im able to use this app to form snapshots in a particular movement and show my clients from multiple angles. I would love to see an update sometime that allows for manipulation of limb length to show variations in anthropometry. Short femur vs long femur makes for a VERY different looking squat.

The most recent update as addressed my highest priority concerns. Def a much more useful app. Previous- This is a great start. The app LOOKS great. The visuals are top notch. However, for the price point, I want more of the features that come stock with many of the other pose apps I have. Ex: Save pose, Load pose, Ground/Perspective Plane. To name a few. After using the app for a few months the controls can be a little finicky. Starting over when I reopen the app after investing time in a pose is a deal breaker. I am very Pro-Proko; I subscribe to all his content and with the high quality output re: his online videos I was expecting more from his debut app. Im sure it will be great over time but I find myself using my other pose apps eagerly awaiting updates to this one.

This app is just awesome and very thoughtful. I used other medical apps with an unpossable skeleton so the fact that I can pose it is a huge bonus for me. I just have one small issue which might bot be that big a deal. Through my understanding, the clavicle, scapula, and humerus, move together and I was thinking if it could be applied some kind of inverse kinematics solver to the three bones so that it would be easier to articulate corectly. Other than that, very awesome app, and will be in continuous use. Thank you.

Ive been watching, learning, and practicing my drawing skills - often with Proko online! One of the most important things to work on is proportional representation. That is where Skelly really excels... No longer is finding reference photos and guessing the frame underneath happening. While building up a visual library in my mind, Skelly is an excellent reference for figuring out what the body can and cant do realistically. I really recommend this for anyone who needs to learn and perfect form or wants to push characters into new horizons.

It is easy to use. The video tutorial provided showed the essentials. The lighting tool I still dont grasp how to use it. All in all it looks fun and will be useful. I had in the last couple of days discovered all the great proko videos and have enjoyed watching a few of them. I am not an artist but he makes it fun.

Awesome! Ive been watching Proko videos for over a year and this app is a great extension to what Stan teaches in the figure drawing course. This app is very easy to use. I would love to see an option in a future release to add another object to the scene (like a cube, planes, or 2nd figure).

This app has pretty good basic control. The biggest issue I have is the lack of control of the vertical control of the spine. What I mean is having the ability to "straighten" or "curve" the upper and lower spine independently. Example: Putting Skelly in a seated posture with a straight lower back and reaching and looking up straightening the upper back is not possible. They do update this app and thats a good thing. Hopefully they add more control over a app that has potential.

I think there should be a limits option on skelly so that we can move skelly how our own skeleton would move. Also the scapula should move with arm

You forgot to add rotation limits to the joints. Right now I posed my first skeleton with his left foot in the middle of his skull. You can make the forearm break at the elbow and even the knees can bend upward toward the femur. Now in UFC fighting or anything else, you would be needing a visit to the doctor for some serious medical attention. Now the average person has 0% chance of rotation beyond the extension of the arm but you can leave 5/10 degrees of angular rotation at the elbow. Not the knees as you know, otherwise we would be able to walk like cartoon characters. (Sorry thinking like a 3D rigger here mixed in with sarcasm) #2 female. I want the option for a female skeleton. The pelvic bone is wider and the ribs are different from the male skeleton. They are minor details that can be completed by a (competent)3D artist in about 30 minutes if that. Please put these in your next update. Thank you.
