    Happy B-day! To give a gift on your birthday says a lot about you. I definitely needed this. I can't draw very well so this is really going to help me going forward. Thanks so much!

    Hey Charles, first of all thank you for this amazing update on Storyboarder! I've had Storyboarder lingering on my laptop for a while now, but with Shotgenerator, I finally started drawing out my storyboard. I am working on a film project in Tokyo, and am using storyboards as a means of communication for Japanese actors. I've been working with shot generator for two days now and I hope you would find my experience with it helpful. A super duper big plus was that I actually discovered new shots because of the software! Thanks to being able to virtually set up a shot and moving around it it, I bumped into angles that I liked much better than the ones I had in mind. This is soooo great. Saves tons of time on having to deal with that on set later on, I think. And that's where the potential is for me really: drafting a virtual space of your shots. This means in my personal experience I would love to be able to save sets in shot generator. For some reason I can't right now. Might be a beta issue, might not yet be available, not sure. I mean in movies particular locations occur more than once during the duration of the story, so in shot generator, it would be great if you could save these locations so you can revisit them and start generating (discovering!) new shots in them . I also started to set up BIG. Placing object all the way in the back to indicate depth, or to mark that this particular shot should look vast. Also because I basically started to do minecraft for films a bit... So the more ground I can cover, the better. In the map I seem to be able to go wild with space, when using the bars on the left screen however, the Y bar seems to max out at -30. Another technical issue I had is that I am not able to save my custom poses, even when I follow the steps you show in your video. I run shot generator on windows 10. Further more I find the usages of the phone super fancy, but also pretty hard to do. Again maybe a tech thing, because when I move my phone to the left, the character moves to the right, all the movements are in the opposite direction somehow. Anyway, really great job! I will draft out my entire film with this for sure. I will make sure to post some stuff on your platforms! Thanks!

    I can't wait to try this out with the kids in my high school Audio Video class. Teaching storyboards isn't always the most fun topic, especially for the kids who can't draw well, but it has so much potential to be engaging when you can add incredible tools like this one. I'm super impressed!

    Playing with the new Shot Generator, and OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH IT. Using my phone's gyro to manipulate a rig feels like the FUTURE.
    I wish something like that would exist for Maya and Blender, I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a mouse. I can get really nice poses in seconds. Using a 3D input for 3D manipulation just makes so much sense.
    Great job on this!

    I've been working with the Shot Generator for several hours now. I've made a handful of body positions for a short film I'm working on (it would be nice to share them to a larger database that more people could import). Firstly, I love Storyboarder and the Shot Generator tool and here are a few things I can recommend to improve it. I would love to have a way to import hands/arms because the manipulation of hands is a little rough. I know this program is meant for more generalized positions, but as I become more familiar with it, I want to make micro adjustments to almost animate the scene. Another thing I would from the program would be the ability to slide the camera along a track/trajectory over a specified time period. The camera feels like it should be able to do that already with the free "WASD" movement. Perhaps when you try to import moving camera shots as a board, Storyboarder could display it with a 3D movement arrow or convert the motion into multiple slides (in quick succession). Lastly, I would like a simple way to project text or just initials onto a character's chest as to easily label them in a crowded room. I'm sure there's a more complex way of importing characters, but having a simple labeling or color-coding of shirts/pants would allow for customization that makes the storyboards a little more accessible to a bigger audience. I might be dumb and some of these things exist already, but either way I would like to be able to do them. Keep up the good work. Storyboarder is amazing!

    Hey guys, great work, great software for both story boarding and possibly animation. But here's a suggestion I have. In the posing of characters because of the difficulties in panning, zooming in and out, especially on the limbs, hands and fingers, why not make in such a way when I select the palms a new window, or small page will popup that is a more bigger and detailed version for posing and adjusting body parts.
    And lastly, after successfully story boarding with story boarder what other free software would you suggest for creating a more detailed environment for the complete animation?
    Hope my explanation is clear.
    God bless and cheers.

    Feedback: Loving the featureset. Also feels like it's directly on the border between good feature set and almost too much. What I like about using software, at least partly, is that I assume a trained user of this software can create a certain amount of complexity (like multiple people) and let the computer take care of all the details that make it easier on the eye for the viewer but are not really necessary work for the creation of a scene itself.
