Mhm

[…] Day #2 of the Mystery Software Week is here. If you haven’t been in the loop, each day this week, we’re revealing never-before-seen screenshots from one of our FIVE new pieces of upcoming software. All of it is game dev software, and it’s been in active development for two years! If you missed yesterday’s sneak peek you can check it out here: Mystery #1. […]
I think it is a user friendly animation creator system for games and games characters. Developers/users will be allowed to create unique animations/movements for their character assets with ease.
Weighted bone animation system.
A 3d animation box for drag and drop to create your 3d animation. After all bb is the drag and drop software. You have made designing easier amd planning a game to thw next level. Anixiously awaiting for the other sneak peak. Dont the already boxer get a special discount ;)
Reminds me of Animation Box…could be an update/remake?
Looks awesome! Good job Trey and Buildbox team!! Sprite rigging I guess… ;)
Would love if all the software were integrated in BB3 as an all in one solution
Hi,
is there any parallax theme option in the new version?
Bone and rigging system, with replaceable body parts and re-usable animation

I am register but how to install ?

thank u
Great Mystery! Love that!
Something very cool would be a Buildbox Component Logic Creator!! and have the posibility CONSTRUCT with nodes new mechanics game if we connect differents Logic together from a library.
Example 1:
Object XXX>Connect Node>Logic Repulsion>Connect Node>Logic Velocity -X>Connect Node>Opacity fade >Connect Node>PLAYER = give us when, I drag this component in canvas, the player is reacting with this component. I don´t need change any values. If I want change the -X or opacity or the force Repulsion, I edit the component Logic (like an intelligent object).
Example 2, If i create a component to a object Ball like this:
Logic Repulsion (this one I create myself before in the past with the Component Logic Creator)>Logic Transform Size>Logic Gate. We have a ball who repulsive when player It´s near and come biggest before shock to Gate Logic. I can drag this logic component in my scenario, duplicate it etc.
And After create them, we can save them this componenet in a library an use them in another project or, why not, share them.
I think with buildbox 3 its possible bicause Trey Smith did say they going to create a pre command (no coding) just like in the construct 2. With that method amost everything is possible. (you’ll know what I’m talking about if you ever try construct 2)
This looks like Spriter! did you team up with those guys, great if you did :)
I say its MEGABOX. Comes with updated versions of all BB softwares for a mega low price. *ducks down slowly outside of Treys window*
Will this part of BuildBox or a separate product?
Definitively, animation box now supporting ability to fully animate characters, making sceletons etc
Looks like AnimationBox with the ablity to design your own rig. Hopefully it is connected to BB so you could update animation in this software without the need to export it and then reimport it to BB.
I’ll wait till the full reveal. I’m too busy making games to bother with these tactics.
Mmm, did you buy out the developer of Spriter, or Dragon bones or Spine or… yours looks very nice, very clean looking UI.
I think is like developed animationbox with scene maker
Scene maker.. there’s an interesting concept. Before Buildbox we actually used a tool called something like Scene Maker. Their level designer gave some inspiration.
It’s a sprite animator
I think it’s game about Pirates of the Sea i think it’s about Role player …. Miltplayer
Haha, I like this one.
it is a animation data program to build characters for games
Looks like animation box. Will we know the correct dimensions for each component to import? So we can have custom animations? Looking forward to seeing it in action.
We had a big discussion today about adding “size” to all of our software (including Buildbox) to show actual PNG size as well as scale. Funny you mention this.
Hi Trey (:
Rigging characters and joins rotation speed for an animation’s tool I guess…
Amazing work here, I’m in a hurry to try it :)
Hi Charles! Thanks :)
That’s animation box .
Or more likely this time it will be called:
Sprite box :)
Hello,
It looks like a Skeletal Animation ?
Thanks!
Maybe it’s like a game engine or editor.
Its a bird, its a plane, ooooo wait, its Buildbox – simple.
Rigging! I like where this is heading.
Those are bones for rigging an animated character – BoneBox™?
Looks like a create your own dancing Beat maker for Live with Automation shown in the last image :)
Beat Dance Auto Box 4.3 ;)
AnimBox
🤔
Spriter
a $1500 version of Spine or Spriter :-)
Haha! Actually, you might be surprised…
Reminds me of BrashMonkey’s Spriter. Hmmm any chance it can allow you to use 3d rigs? FBX files? That would be massive.
Never say never…
Looking interesting!!! Animation and body collision for each individual objects of character….
Im watching im interested you may have a new member?
If it can work/export to android im on board!
2~3 yrs of dev is no joke good job!
My webstudiox took 3 years!
Also i suck at selling stuff any advice? Webstudiox has zero downloads….im def doing something wrong :(
Wow, 3 years is a long time! I haven’t seen the product, but make sure you: A) Have your design and UI experience down really tight B) Are solving a need for people in your community and C) Have a way to reach people. The last one is the most difficult because it requires doing something over and over and over without many results for a while. For instance, making one Youtube video won’t probably help, but making 100 will.
Its simple bad marketing… work on it.
Looks like a character animator. Does this mean we will be able to finally concave collision shapes for complex characters?
Hi Alain, that is a good idea for sure and something we will do in the future. It’s interesting, from a coding perspective you can’t really have concave collision shapes, but you can have someone draw a collision shape and then recreate multiple convex collision shapes behind the scenes to make it work. The biggest issue here is CPU taxation. If you did this on a small object that you duplicated many times, then it’s many more points to compute. Still though, this is something we’ll do in the future regardless.
You still have the monthly payment plan – and would that include the 5 when released? :-)
Hi Joe, we’ll be doing something a bit different this time, but it will be much cheaper than the last time we released a software package like this :)
You’ll be able to import the parts of a character and put them together on the game and animate the character?
I hope that this is an update to the Master Collection. We’ve been waiting for 2 years now. This would be awesome if it was. 🤓
🔥😎
Is my opinion that BB 3.0 will allow for import and export of characters, objects, and anything else Trey Smith and his team come up with. For Buildbox to have multiple software is working together in the ecosystem, there must be a way of importing objects. This is obviously animation software, but the kicker here is that will output XML data and remove the need for individual PNG animations.
Mystery Software #1 : AnimationBox
I know it, its AnimationBox from master collection that was sold two years ago I don’t see any changes there only the first version design was like bb 1.0 and now the design look like bb 2.0 I don’t see any new features here I am disappointed again I thought that there will be AnimationBox that makes simple and easy 3d animation that will help bb 3.0 user to make some simple games as most of dev dosnt know how to render 3d Animation.
Mystery Software #2 :SoundBox
I liked soundbox from the previous master collection it can convert WAV and other files format into mp3 easily even it crashes if you put big files duration in there and contain a lot of sound game effects and music even its outdated
Mystery Software #3 : IconBox
also iconbox it’s sometimes useful to make you design some good icon if you were in a hurry to design one it contains good effects but it’s not enough if only can also design screenshot…
Mystery Software #4 : ImageBox
its a useless software don’t bring it again I hope you replace it with something else OR have a big update on it
Mystery Software #5 : that’s the mystery I just I hope it’s a good software that cal helps us in game making
Also, the assets that come with master collection most of it is garbage I hope you have a good collection this year from graphics and sound
I have two points of good news for you:
1. Tons of new stuff will be shown you haven’t seen.
2. We spent two years doing this and have massive changes across the board.
Software #5: Buildbox 3D :P
Ahaa! I think the update for the animation box is…… it can now rig low poly 3d model such as minecraft human figure with as low as 36 polycount
Cool idea ;)
Cool! Sprites, bones & animation 😀
Looks like future characters / hopefully also objects can be more complex 😎
Whatever it is, it means I signed up at the right time!
Absolutely :), any guesses on what it could be?
It’s AnimationBox. However, I did not have the privilege to get it when it was out for sale. Is it going to be for sale and if yes, would it be affordable around 99$ or around 1000$?
Around 1000$, I am going to have to pass on this one!
Does “bine” (buildbox + spine) also include mesh deformations / vertex weighting?
New versions of Animation Box and the other Master Collection programs
2DBox or AniBox ?
Really good guesses …
Fun fact, when we were coming up with names for Buildbox some contenders were 2Dbox and Zerobox 😁
Hi,
I think its for character animation. am i right?
Now will you give me upcoming product as a new year’s gift ;)
Thank you sooooooo much!!!
Sprite rigging and animation tool/plugin! Awesome!
😁
Its an animating software😎
this is a advence editor .here you can move any part of body or something of character
Interesting guess…
looks like it has some features similar Spriter and Spine
Big fans of both of those ;)
Looks great. Does is it mean we could as well import spine animations in BB?
Animation Box that allows for custom monster animation!! That’s awesome I can wait to see what’s next!
Thanks, Joeseph. We’re having fun with this one.
These software will be animation box
Its definitely the ANIMATION BOX(the previous buildbox master collection realese) OR its something related to it for sure. ;)
Trey how was my guess?Upon the scale of 1 to 10?Let me know?
Haha! You are somewhere between 4.5 and 9.7 ;)
The price is VERY steep. And I don’t believe this will sell many copies, even bysides the fact that it is new software. This won’t be competing with any Autodesk software anytime soon. I as an Indie my self can tell you, I won’t be buying unless I see many others build successful games or the price drops. Maybe even a perpetual license?
We’re actually going to make this much more affordable than last time 😁
Any discounts for existing full license Buildbox customers? ;)
when will it comes trey. love you sooooooo much from my soul. plz tell me.
Looks like a rigging platform.Awesome.
:)
surprisingly, it looks like Spine?
You will have advanced options such as: Meshes, Inverse Kinematics, Weights
It is interesting to me!
Surprising is good!
It’s pirated software!! LoL :-p
That’s a good one … ‘pirated’ LoL :-p
that shows, you can animate using handles. i’m very excited.
Yes, there will be some very cool animation features for sure ;)
Its an an animation tools to create skeletal animation for sprites something like spine
But I am more into unreal engine 4 because I like business style of Epic games and that is you take game engine for free you make game and then earn money and then give us 5% of it I like it alot and when it comes to buildbox man its a huge price normal indie dev can’t by it, simply everybody can’t buy it.
WOW! Animation editor?! Like Spine? I hope it have “free-form deformation” awesome!! is it a separate software from Buildbox?
Please dont touch the price of buildbox or make it cheap. im about to buy it in january. Please Trey.
— Im guessing its a 3D character maker?
sorry for my english.
Don’t worry, we won’t be raising the price of Buildbox.
Yes its the animationbox and I can imagine some new feature will also come .
Am I right, I am right.
This is maybe a similar feature like we use in adobe flash. Maybe it’s called skeleton something. It can create animation easily using separate character graphics.
We were always a fan of Flash back in the day. How easy their animator was. Definitely inspired ;)
Now i’m just waiting for buy new version of buildbox :D
Taken!
Animation builder! Nice work.
🤔
This resembles the buildbox animator that came with bundle. This has to be an improved and better version of that piece of software!
rigging character
Definitely some bone structure going on here ;)
It’s AnimationBox! This will be a lifesaver.
If it is an update to Animationbox, any idea on new features?
Animation Box improved version
Hmmm… it IS due for an update. Good guess.
