The adorned puppet skeleton can now be posed and deformed freely under the constraint of inverse kinematics, if applicable. When working with their Free-Form Deformation tool, you can do much of the same with one key difference: characters and objects can be morphed using the mesh vertices themselves, outright, sans bones or skeleton.
Organizing your library of assets is a breeze; skins can be swapped on the fly, allowing you to recycle your work whenever possible.
Those familiar with the program will likely think first of the beloved Grease Pencil tool, which allows the artist to draw right into the 3D space bound by the canvas area. While normally used to plan out a scene, to storyboard within the program, or even to leave notes for others inside of the 3D world, you can also use it to create hand-drawn 2D animation. Drawing with a Grease Pencil in 3 dimensions may be difficult for some to visualize; each stroke becomes an independent object, its structure consisting of points connected by edit lines and the rendered stroke that they form together.
Using Draw Mode, you are able to define the location and the orientation of what you will be drawing with the Grease Pencil.
When drawing additively, each stroke compounds upon the one drawn previously, which prevents the program from regarding each stroke as a new object. The entire drawing is kept together on a single layer. This workflow does not rely on abstractions of the image, but, rather, allows you to apply different effects directly to it using a brush.
Blender builds upon this capability with the Multiframe tool. Another vector-based fan favorite, Synfig Studio does it all without asking for a dime. This straightforward and down-to-earth option will be a welcome reprieve from the astronomical price tags that some of these other types of 2D animation software boast.
A layered timeline complete with vector tweening, expression controls, and an in-app rigging system sets the stage for a rich experience without compromise.
Morphing between key poses can be done automatically, making in-betweening a thing of the past. Artists who draw by hand will be glad to hear, however, that Synfig does offer plenty in the way of enhancing their traditionally drawn work and converting it into a form that they will be able to work with readily within the program.
Your character designs become bitmaps and vector images. More involved deformations can be created and applied using a Skeleton Distortion layer.
The sky truly is the limit here; you have up to fifty layers of real estate to include fractal effects, parameter transformations, distortive filters, and much more. All of these attributes can be manipulated through the use of expression controls, as well. Something really exciting about Synfig as a company is that they offer their users an alternate, developmental version of the system when they go to download it.
The beta version is full of experimental features, unproven and ready to explore. Another free-to-use 2D animation program, OpenToonz is open-source and completely customizable. Users have the option of either a raster- or vector-based workflow; the interface puts the camera in your hands, allowing you to swoop through your scene dramatically once it has been laid out.
A number of helpful third-party plug-ins are available for you to utilize, as well. OpenToonz offers support for projects up to 60fps and for output up to 4k. Global effects and VFX can be applied and auditioned quickly using node trees, keeping everything tidy and contained as you make progress.
OpenToonz makes it easy to follow strict brand guidelines; your client may ask that you use a specific palette of predetermined colors, for example. Other helpful features include an on-screen ruler, a bone editor, and a node map feature that makes building objects and characters much easier. The best 2D animation program for you will ultimately depend on what you intend to create with it. Game designers, hobbyists, and, yes, even the diehard professionals among us will likely find something to love about any of the systems mentioned here.
At the end of the day, most of us are here for the love of the craft. How do you feel about that? We have never lobbied for prizes or awards, so we could barely believe it! In Europe, there are no events to reward technologies that have been developed for the industry of animation, cinema, and vfx. Our team has always done its best to provide an incredible software for traditional animators who want the natural feeling of animating on paper with all the power of modern digital tools.
I would like to thank our beta testers, who are a fistful of great international artists with a vast range of experience in animation. Opening an office in Japan last year has been very helpful to provide the best services to Japanese animators and their specific needs, but we still have to find a solution for North America. But anyone interested in working with us is welcome: feel free to send me your resumes.
TVPaint Animation was named Mirage before.
