• The other formats are full modules exported to abc, glTF and usdc. you can use them and just stop the animation where what you want is displayed or make your own animation and exported as demonstrated in the pdf guide.

• With the April 2025 update, The modular rigged split flap display setup was introduced allowing you to create rigged animation combatable for fbx, glb, usdz, and more with an efficient file size

• The UV maps are automatically generated and there is a guide in the pdf on how to export to other formats without losing the UVs.

• PBR textures: The textures can be changed to display anything (but the button to call that part of the texture won't be changed) for example if you change the = to display an emoji, you would display that emoji by hitting =

• Low poly

• The sounds in the video showcase are not generated in blender, they are added in video editing, but you get these flaps sounds in the additional files folder.
