ShapesXR, you know, it’s this cool thing that popped up back in 2021. It’s all about 3D and XR prototyping. But wait, now they’ve thrown in an animation feature. I mean, who saw that coming? Well, probably someone did, but not me.
So, here’s the deal. They’ve added this frame-by-frame animation system. It sounds fancy, but it’s really about making your XR world come alive without coding. No need to stare at endless lines of code—because, let’s be honest, who wants that? Not me. Anyway, you get to play around with UI motion and interactive gestures. It’s like bringing your doodles to life. Or something like that.
And then, oh boy, I almost forgot—there’s some chatter from the pen behind all this magic. Inga Petryaevskaya, the CEO, she’s all jazzed up about it. “Animation is in our DNA,” she says. Well, okay! If you say so, Inga. Fast, intuitive, accessible—they’re ticking all the boxes, trying to win hearts over, because who doesn’t like creative freedom, right? Anyway—wait, I think I was supposed to mention something else here. It’ll come back to me.
Oh! What’s really nuts is you can do this from any device. Yep, switch between your everyday monitor and those funky XR headsets. Quest and Pico headsets are game too, in case you’re wondering. It’s like juggling tech toys.
And just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, they’re rolling out with sample spaces and these interactive tutorials. Like, there’s a virtual instructor dude showing you the ropes. Neat, huh?
Now, here’s the bummer… or maybe not. The app’s free on the Horizon Store for Quest and all that jazz. But, there’s a catch. Free gets you one editable space, and—here’s the kicker—a 10 state cap per space, whatever that entails. Plus, a 20 MB cap on asset imports. Want more? Fork over some cash for a Business or Enterprise license.
Anyway, ShapesXR is kind of aiming at creatives and businesses, but hey, if you’re curious, dive in. Draw your dreams or—or just get lost in another virtual rabbit hole. Sounds like a plan. Or not. Who can keep track these days?
