Toontastic 3D

Today Google introduced Toontastic 3D, a creative app for kids, which is an evolution of Toontastic, a first version launched in 2015 In this new version, the little ones can create stories out of nothing in a 3D environment and let your imagination run wild, with many more templates than in the original version. It is a free app for both Android and iPhone and is designed for children of all ages, as it is a tool that encourages creativity and that is always recommended, no matter the moment of development in which the is player

Still in English, yes, the app allows us to build stories with three formats: History Short, Classic Story or Scientific Experiment The first, the most recommended for children of younger age, offer the possibility of telling a I have the three basic parts: beginning, middle, and end The classic stories have a little For more complexity, you can offer a start, followed by a conflict leading to a challenge and then to a climax, the high point before reaching the resolution The format of scientific experiment is different from the other two, it moves away from the narrative and proposes that it be ask a first question, which leads to a hypothesis response, followed by a experimentation with that hypothesis and after that, the collection ofresultsThose results lead to a conclusion that ends the experience.

Once we have chosen the structure, we have to build the story itself.

Creating the story

We choose the format we choose, we have the option of placing our story in the same places, to choose between a school, a space station, a Aztec temple, a pirate ship, the legendary Atlantis, the interior of alaboratory, a camp or a world of flying ships

When the setting is set (we have to choose a setting for each step of the story, it can be the same or vary), we can choose the characters We have an endless number of 3D characters that represent people, animals, magical creatures or robots, that can be customized by changing the color of your garments. There is even the possibility of creating your own character from scratch, drawn by us.

Once we have the chosen characters (we can choose the characters we want), the different chapters will begin, and we will have a specific time to move the characters with your finger to where you want on the stage. Pressing twice on the character, we will see him perform a action Thus, the gorilla gets to dance or the boy with the binoculars picks them up and looks through them. While the shooting is running, the phone microphone will turn on, so we canspeak to voice the characters, and this will be recorded.

Once time passes, we can consult how the story turned out and play some music among the different options, divided by the type of atmosphere we want to give: sad, funny, terrifying, tense, or loving With this, the scene is formed and we move on to the next, and then to the next, until the end of the cycle of scenes that we have chosen.

When finished, we can export the creation to our video galleryand then share it however we want, or we can go back to the session and edit something we didn't like. With Toontastic 3D, the limit is the child's imagination, because the stories to be told are infinite
