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

This comprehensive hand-drawn animation software is compatible with iPad, Android, Mac, and Windows platforms. It is robust enough to meet the demands of professional animators while remaining user-friendly for those just starting out. With this application, you can create traditional hand-drawn animations wherever you are. The timeline allows for an unlimited number of layers and lets you easily adjust the exposure length of individual frames, accommodating both pose-to-pose and straight-ahead animation styles. Features like onion skinning, preview playback, and timeline scrubbing enhance your workflow. You can also import audio tracks for lip-syncing and video clips for rotoscoping purposes. The app comes with customizable brushes and is compatible with pressure-sensitive devices such as Samsung S-Pen and others. Additionally, it supports various styluses including the Apple Pencil, Logitech Crayon, Adonit, and Wacom for iPad users. You have the ability to control the framerate and resolution, and you can export your creations as Quicktime videos, GIFs, or image sequences. Furthermore, RoughAnimator projects can easily be imported into popular software like Adobe Flash/Animate, After Effects, and Toon Boom Harmony. This makes RoughAnimator a standout choice as the most powerful hand-drawn animation tool within its price category, ensuring that animators of all skill levels can bring their visions to life.
