Google Toontastic 3D: A few years ago, Google acquired Launch Toys, the developer of Toontastic, an app that allows children and adults to easily create storytelling animations.
It looks like the app has now been updated to a 3D-enabled version!
The Google Toontastic 3D app is an easy way for kids to showcase their ideas without having to work with complicated video editing software or present them through boring PowerPoint.
It's a fairly simple process: You decide how many "arcs" you want the story to have (with defaults for short story, classic story, and science fiction), you choose a background, and then the characters who will star in your presentation.
You can either use the presets or design your own backgrounds and characters, although the app has some really cool animations. You also have the option to add your face to any of the characters you include in your story.
After that, you can start giving your characters "soul", adding voice, movement, and the background that your story will play out in.
Google plans to add more elements you can use over time, as well as different story presets to help kids get started creating their own content.
The Google Toontastic 3D app is already available for free and is waiting for you to download it on the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.
