Object Show Build

Support

Build characters once. Animate them forever.

What the app is

Object Show Build is an animation studio for iPad. You pick an object — a pencil, a donut, a trophy — and get a complete character with eyes, arms and legs, already rigged. Then you animate it: page by page like a flipbook, or on a timeline with keys, in the same project. It works entirely offline.

Common questions

Where is my work saved?

On your iPad. Every time the app opens it also writes a backup copy into its own folder in the Files app, under Object Show Build → Backups. If something ever goes missing, open Settings → Storage → Restore inside the app and pick a backup.

How do I move a project to another iPad?

Export it as a project archive (.osb), then drop that file into the Object Show Build folder in Files on the other iPad. The app picks it up the next time it opens.

The app is simpler than I expected.

Simple pages mode is on by default — it hides keyframes, camera and easing so younger animators can just draw and flip. Turn it off in Settings to get layer tracks, keyframed motion, an animated camera and physics. It is the same project either way; nothing is lost by switching.

Can I use my own drawings?

Yes. Import Character gives you a slot for every part, pose, expression and mouth shape, and matches your files by name where it can.

Does it need an internet connection or an account?

No to both. There is no sign-in, no account and no network code in the app at all.

Artwork

Every shape, pose, expression, accessory and template in the app was drawn for it. Nothing is copied from, traced from or bundled from any existing show.
