Flipnote Studio 3D, known in Japan as Moving Notepad 3D (うごくメモ帳 3D Ugoku Memochō Surī Dī?) and originally announced as Flipnote Memo, is a free downloadable animation application launched in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS. Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, this successor to Flipnote Studio allows users to use three separate layers to create stereoscopic 3D animations, which can be exported into GIF or AVI format. Flipnote Studio 3D was launched with two online communities that are unavailable to the U.S and other countries (currently) : Flipnote Gallery: Friends, and Flipnote Gallery: World.
The application was released in Japan on July 24, 2013. It was set for an August 2013 release in North America and Europe, but due to "unexpectedly high" usage of the online services in Japan, the application's release was delayed for both regions. It was later released in North America for Club Nintendo members on February 10, 2015; in Europe and Australia however, those who pre-registered or signed up for a Nintendo Account between March 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 were able to redeem the app for free via My Nintendo. It was again put on the service on December 1, 2016, for the North American region and on January 1st 2017 for the European region.
Largely similar to its predecessor, Flipnote Studio 3D allows users to create short animated sketches known as Flipnotes. Flipnotes can be made up of hundreds of frames, and can be played back at a variety of speeds. The software offers users the option to create 3D Flipnotes by drawing different parts of the animation on up to 3 layers. The main tools include a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush. New to Flipnotes Studio 3D are tools that draw shapes, fill enclosed areas (paint bucket), and insert text. The application features a limited color palette, including black, white, red, blue, green, and yellow. This is a slight improvement upon Flipnote Studio, which didn't include yellow and green as selectable colors, but were still possible using color mixing. The selection tool is used to copy and manipulate parts of a frame. Users can also use the 3DS system's camera and microphone to add audio and photos to their creations. These animations can either be shared on the application's native online community, or by exporting them as GIF or AVI files.
