StageX helps you to create scene of the future movie with simple and initiative tools because it is based on the principle of instinct learning. You just start to create your own movie as if you were on a set, and it doesn’t matter what exactly you make: a cartoon or a movie.
Share the result with colleagues and stakeholders with the help of export previz tool. Get your movie or fbx format scene out there, then sit back and take all the credit.
Get high-fidelity in under 5 minutes. Upload your 3d files and add animation, lighting, and VFX to transform your static scene into full animation movie.

The Pro`s:
Note I play this on my Oculus Rift and it works well with it.
This software deserves more attention, the price it is currently going for is a bargain for what you get.
There are plenty of props to work with including buildings, street stuff, trees, rocks and much more, even some props such as food, plates, computers and static animals etc.
There is also the ability to shape, paint and expand the terrain, want huge mountains? Sure, go in to terrain editor and pull it up, you can smooth it out, even make craters etc, it is great!
The character in game is easy to animate by grabbing its body parts and moving them around.
Speaking of animating you can do it in two ways, either by keyframing after each movement you make the the character or prop, or auto keying where it will generate keys as you make the changes, this is a neat idea allowing realtime animating.
The controls are actually intuitive and comfortable to use, I like the floating menus which you can open close from the watch and position where you like while working. Zooming in and out of the world works great by grabbing the air and opening/closing your arms, it even shows a display with icons representing the size you are in relation to the world, for example a human, elephant etc representing size.
You have control of the sun for global lighting and it looks beautiful, it too can be animated. You also have a light prop which can be colour changed and made directional.
There really is a lot for your money.
Now the downside:
There is currently only one character sadly and while you can attach props to parts of the body (particularly the hands for holding), you can not really customise it.
There are no particals in it, so no fire or anything like that, it has been requested but that brings us to another point soon.
You can colour paint terrain which is great, sadly it is not hugely detailed, as in you couldn`t paint in tiny details and the paint is kind of per grid with some blending on the edges of it. Still you can make some really nice looking cartoon style terrain.
Yes there are a lot or props, but it lacks stuff to make interiors such as walls, doors and doorways, windows, stuff like that. This again has been requested since it is a detail that really should not be missed.
Now to my point of the devs, they seem like really nice guys. Initially they were quick responding to my comments and requests, but they have since gone very quiet. A recent response from them stated they could not discuss their future plans, this concerns me as they clearly do not have a road map plan. They said they had an update in the works and to wait a few days, it has been over two weeks and still nothing.
I really hope my concerns are wrong, these guys have started something wonderful here and as I have told them I would be willing to pay extra for the requested content and features because as already stated for what you pay right now this really is a bargain. For that fact I will recommend, but devs please support this program more, even if you do it as DLC or bump the sale price up add more characters, particle effects, character accessories and props (particularly room building ones).
Get this app advertised more, it could be a winner, don`t let it become like its competitors which seem to be looking abandoned. I really hope your silence is through work going into a decent update for this amazing app.

What a bargain! Only 2 dollars at this time! Fantastic user interface, nice library of models to populate a scene. Terrain editor is fun to work with, multiple terrains can be patched together to create vast landscapes. The rigged human model is easy to pose in VR. Wow! I am thoroughly impressed. Still exploring and learning how to utilize this software,but enjoying doing so. It would be nice if the publisher had some tutorial videos but this is not overly difficult to figure out. I am a big fan of VR software that allows the user to create enviornments: Modbox, Diorama Worlds, World Builder, SculptVR, Climbey are all worth checking out. StageX has some features that surpass the other software mentioned.
I am adding a link to some video I recorded while in App/Game
