Almost useful

I hope to see an upgraded version that allows you to create 3D objects to put into your 3D landscape, and offers greater more editing capability. Mental Canvas has a lot of constraints that tend to limit the type of pieces you can create with it. While there are plenty of fun, creative things to do within this stylized 2D/3D hybrid, it doesn’t meet my needs and I don’t think it would be that much harder to make it versatile enough to be much more generally useful. Unless I am missing something, it doesn’t seem to be possible to edit anything once you have projected it off of the plane. Also there is only very limited capability to rotate objects off the plane using the hinge tool. Once they are rotated or projected objects positions can’t be adjusted. If there is a cut/copy/paste method, it is not intuitive. Taken together, these limitation make for a frustrating experience.

Incredibly Powerful & Expansive

To say this app allows you to “go outside the box” doesn’t even begin to express how powerfully it expands your abilities. Unlike any other tool I’ve ever seen or used Mental Canvas makes infinite canvases for drawing(acknowledging that you’re drawing on a 2D screen) which can each be positioned at any angle, distance, relation to the other layers/canvases and then travel through your creation by saving particular perspectives/positions and zooming from one to the next as though you were hovering in 3D space. The drawing tools are relatively basic/simple, probably for the best 90% of the time but I would like to see SVG imports and basic vector type integration. Otherwise the limits are imaginary. Well, and cost. I’m generally happy to pay for well-made apps rather than be advertised to or having my data sold to fund the development, but I’ve had a difficult time justifying the ROI for this one. I want it to keep up to date and progress, I love to use it from time to time but I haven’t quite cracked how to make it worth the paid investment.

Why

If this app was good, which it’s not, it’s still weird to use and gives you a head ache. It’s trash disguised in software. You could almost find this useful, but I don’t. If you want to draw in 3D space, buy a head set and an app for VR. Don’t spend money on this app, don’t even get the free version of this app. It’s an eye sore, and when you finally get the hang of it, it’s still annoying to use. They have very limited brushes and you may think that is helpful or not too bad because you can still zoom in, but really it just takes more time to do a simple task. Maybe I’m just stupid and this app has good qualities. Don’t base wether you buy this app on me, just take into consideration that I would rather spend over 200$ on a professional app than get this in the free mode.If I one day find this is good, I’ll delete this. But for now, I still don’t like it.

Loving this app!

I recently downloaded the promotional version of this app on my iPad for my wife who is a digital artist - Francine Maile. (She has a 1st gen iPad so we decided to put it on my newer one.) Here is her review:“I’m currently trying out the free promotional version of Mental Canvas Draw and am loving it! I watched a tutorial and was able to follow along fairly easily to turn one of my digital illustrations into a 3D video. It really brings creations to a whole new level. I’m already working on my next piece and have planned out the composition with the 3D effects/Mental Canvas in mind!”

Hands down the most innovative app I've downloaded in years

I tend to get excited about new apps that might make me more productive or help with art and creativity. Nine times out of ten, I have found these apps to repeat what other apps do – they're just shinier, with a better UI and not much else. They don't do anything different. So they collect dust and eventually end up getting uninstalled.I came across a user demoing Mental Canvas via TikTok and instantly knew I had to download the app to my iPad and try it myself. Within fifteen minutes of installation, I had my first drawing consisting of multiple canvases in 3D. Mental canvas makes 2D art have depth in ways I've never seen before. The best part is, I didn't have to learn 3D modeling to do this. Mental Canvas also provided on-screen video tutorials and provided example scenes to learn and get up and running quickly.It's been a day, and I'm already addicted to making new art in Mental Canvas. I doubt I'll ever let this collect dust. I could see myself using this as a replacement or addition to work done in Procreate. My mind has been exploding with new ideas of what I could do in the future, and I can't wait to get started on my next piece.

Suggestions for update

This is perfect for environment design, storyboarding, and illustration, especially if you find layout to be a challenge! I am definitely using this to design my shots from now on. Some things that could be added to improve the experience that would just bring it to the next level are: a line tool/ shape tool, preset objects like a cube made from four planes that could be used as a jumping off point, and the possibility to export files as a .obj file (I’m not sure if that is possible but this would be great for cg pre vis.) either way this is a great tool for animation students and I’m so glad I found it!

I Paid. good - but lacking QoL

I paid for the creator version… Excellent and simply amazing, worth every penny!Sadly… Mental Canvas BADLY needs quality of life updates - like yesterday. Their silence and lack of updates.. makes me hope this company is ok and not going through hard financial times. ————————QUALITY OF LIFE FEATURES (Keep us IN the flow)I am understanding Mental Canvas is not competing with:- Procreate- Photoshop - Affinity Photo- or any of other deep artistic apps I totally get it, Mental Canvas has it’s own lane and tries to keep us within the territory of their tools for 3D planes and not wanting to boggle us with too many features. It’s a beautiful and unique lane. But… MENTAL CANVAS .. bhaaddlyy, needs the following quality of life features:• Blur• Liquify• Mesh Warp• Some Blend Modes• Auto straight Lines and Auto ShapeBy Mental Canvas lacking these basics I listed above…Mental Canvas FORCES us to leave the app EVERY TIME we want to blur, or liquify, or do any of these **primitive** special effects listed above.and so.. here is a typical Mental Canvas process:1. leave MC app2. open another app3. Adjust make changes in other app4. Export to photo gallery or icloud5. come back to MC app6. Import updatesReally Mental Canvas?This is when Mental Canvas starts jumping into the **annoying zone** and totally ruining flows. I really hope you guys figure this out.

Awesome tech

If you’re able to figure out how to use it, you can create some amazing things. There is a learning curb, and the screen always readjust from where you want to place something, when you go to frame mode, which might throw people off. I also don’t understand why they limit how many interactive videos you publish, regardless of the tier you subscribe to. It’s like, dude, stop gatekerping features from a product I paid for. One time purchase gets one interactive video and the highest monthly sub only gives you five. Stop being greedy. If more randoms could physically interact with the video, then you would get more subscribers. As is, nobody wants to “waste” their 1-5 interactive videos, so nobody is doing them. I mean, I’m sure they are, I’ve just never seen one. Overall, keep this in mind. If it doesn’t bother you, then go create some dope stuff, cause trust me, you will. I gave it five stars, but I wanted to give it 4 1/2, due to gatekeeping features you paid for.

Beautiful app

I love it…makes my designes and or cartoons alive…One big , even a huge con….you can only use the app for 1 week off line, so if you live somewhere rural like in the Pacific Northwest , with no internet connection, you have to drive once a week into town or a city to activate it again. So in fact you pay for an app, but the company still controls if you can work with it, i think this should be told and explained in the FAQ, before you buy it….I wonder what the developers would say if they buy a new car, and afterwards they find out they only can drive it for 7 days and then they have to go back to the dealer to activate it again…I bet they would ask for a refund….But otherwise its a cool app

Confusing

I think this app is great based off the review i had found but the thing is I couldn’t finger draw so i tried drawing with my apple pencil and it couldn’t even draw anything with that. The only thing that worked with my finger and apple pencil was changing the layers and the colors and the pen style ect. I even tried shutting down my Ipad and turning it back on and going back in the app but it still didn’t work. I wondering if it’s the brand of my stylus or even the generation, if so please make it be able to finger draw or being able to draw with any brand of apple pencil.

rlly fun and free game:)., Aug 25, 2021
