Thanks for posting here. I wouldn’t mind hearing about how akeytsu fits into a pipeline. I’ve been a little perplexed about how one would get the rig / mesh / animation data in and out of akeytsu.
Hi Joel,
Thanks for your message.
Well, it is quite simple, we use FBX in/out.
It allows akeytsu to communicate with a huge number of studios and pipelines.
But of course, it is only a beginning and we will add more import/export formats in the future.
The ideal workflow is : you import your mesh in FBX in akeytsu, you rig it in akeytsu, you animate it in akeytsu and then you export it wherever you want in FBX (game engine, standard 3D software, etc.).
There is a real benefit to rig your character in akeytsu as the philosophy is really different and you will take advantage of the entire software (IK/FK on one single skeleton, no curve controllers,etc.)
You can already import rigged characters however it must be basic characters. I mean not too much complicated, without 2 or 3 skeletons and tons of constraints. Because it is not today the goal of akeytsu to handle external complicated rigged characters.
It will surely be the case one day but at the moment it is the first version of akeytsu and we target Games/Indie Games market. Needs are different.
But i repeat, it is the very first flight of our dragonfly. Lots of features are planned. The baby will grow
Anyways i encourage you to play with the free beta.
It is a very different experience. Very
Cheers,
Aurelien

Hi everybody,
I hope you are well. Did you guys have tried the beta ?
The return is busy at nukeygara. And SIGGRAPH was excellent for us! I had people queuing up non stop at the booth for akeytsu demos and feedbacks were very good ! That is very motivating !
It was a pleasure to met Ton (at last) and other Blender guys ! Beautiful meetings 
(more photos on our Facebook page, by the way, please come and like us ;-))
An other very important information is that akeytsu is on STEAM Greenlight since today.
So if you want to support a tiny french startup, it is now 
Please vote for us guys !
Thanks for your help !

Hi guys,
Here is a fresh “live video” from SIGGRAPH. It can give you a quite good idea of the software and its philosophy/approach in about 9 minutes
Thanks

Hi everybody,
beta 1.0 “onion ghosts” is now available on our website. You will find a quick video here.
Enjoy

Sorry for asking, but how this compare with Mixamo? Took 1 min to make a full rig with animations, and for my surprise the cloths and everything was better that I’ve expected.
Hi Doro,
Well akeytsu is a real (keyframing) 3D animation software. Mixamo is more a big animations/models library.
You can rig and animate everything with akeytsu : props, flowers, animated BG,… not only bipeds and quadrupeds.
It is … different
Thanks
Cheers,
Aurelien
