NEW Stand-Ins really Stand Out!

Colorizable Stand-Ins really Stand Out!

The new Stand-In Add-On Library brings classic outlined stand-in characters to your copy of StoryBoard Quick, StoryBoard Quick Studio, or StoryBoard Artist!  They’re ready to stand in for any character, bringing simple vector line-drawings into the mix to represent anyone, anywhere!

The Stand-In Man and Stand-In Woman work with imported projects from StoryBoard Quick Direct for the iPhone and iPad.  Not only will the colorizable Stand-Ins give you that super cool, hand-drawn look (without having to draw!) but they also “stand in” when you use the NEW mobile apps StoryBoard Quick Direct for iPhone and StoryBoard Quick Direct HD for iPad to create boards on the go!

The characters are represented as sketch outlines in three elevations of all of the standard StoryBoard Quick poses: Stand, Walk, Run, Jump, Sit, and Prone.  The Stand-In Add-On Library is easy to find—the Library loads as a Palette right into your copy of StoryBoard Quick, StoryBoard Quick Studio, or StoryBoard Artist!  Find them right away in the Palettes Menu under your Windows Menu and open it in the interface for quick and effortless use in your storyboard software.
