Whether you're working on a complex game or an intricate animation project, the mocopi Pro Kit provides the advanced features and flexibility needed to push the boundaries of what's possible in digital animation.
Industry Adoption, A Developer’s Perspective:
"Using the mocopi Pro will accelerate our content pipeline, enabling us to create and deliver more original animations to support the ongoing development of Cosmorons," says James Garcia, Studio Art Director, Blind Squirrel Games.
"This product is such a fantastic development tool. I have basically zero experience with animation in my background, so to be able to use these to make completely viable animation sequences and montages is amazing," says, Robert Beyer Founder of Leap of Faith, Lead Engineer of Haven [indie title launching this year].
