Description

OpenToonz, an open-source animation software that originated from the Italian company Digital Video S.p.A.'s "Toonz," has been tailored by Studio Ghibli for their artistic projects over the years. In collaboration with Digital Video and Studio Ghibli, Dwango initiated the OpenToonz project, making it available for free use in both commercial and non-commercial endeavors. This software allows users to freely modify its source code, fostering creativity and innovation in animation. We are dedicated to establishing a new platform that bridges the gap between academic research and advanced animation production, enhancing the synergy between these two fields. This initiative aims to inspire new generations of animators and researchers alike.

Description

Designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, it allows you to concentrate on the art of animation without the hassle of navigating complex controls. You can effortlessly alternate between raster and vector styles, making it easy to sketch, ink, and paint wherever you are. Pencil2D is entirely open source and available for free, even for commercial projects! We are excited to announce the latest version of Pencil2D, where our main focus was addressing critical issues that disrupted the animation workflow and enhancing previously existing features. In this update, over 330 individual commits have been made since the last version, aimed at stabilizing and enhancing the software for ongoing use and enjoyment. This commitment to improvement ensures that users can rely on Pencil2D for their animation needs, fostering creativity without any barriers.
