Plonkett 345 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I know I made a thread about Opentoonz, but this one applies to all free software. Not only is there Opentoonz for 2d animation, but also Krita for backgrounds, Blender for 3d graphics, Fusion (the free version) and Natron for compositing, and Storyboarder for storyboards/animatics. Using all these programs together, you could make something truly remarkable. I know Blender has been used numerous times by the fandom, but those were for purely 3d animations. It could also be used for accompanying your 2d animations in OT. These programs would be perfect for animators who are on a budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeric 46,850 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 @vgmaster9 since this topic is discussing the tools available for fandom animation I'm going to move to the to resources section of video art in Octavia's Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Valtasar 12,690 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 (edited) I was going to start learning animation so i might give them a try. Which one is for the 2D frame-by-frame kind?

Which one is for the 2D frame-by-frame kind? Opentoonz does both frame by frame and rigging. The rigging is said to be better than Flash/Animate CC, while the frame by frame is said to be even better than Toon Boom Harmony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you want to do animations that last just a few seconds, Krita is very well worth getting. It has frame by frame animation tools as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixton 1,105 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I use blender and gimp, but I don't remember when was the time I made my last drawing. Spoiler There is no violence in this despite to it's name 1 Ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonkett 345 July 27, 2018 Author Share July 27, 2018 (edited) For video editing, Shotcut, Davinci Resolve, and Hitfilm 4 Express are supposed to be pretty good. I'd recommend Lightworks as well if the limitations compared to the commercial version weren't so severe, just as 720p being the maximum resolution. Of course, there's Audacity for audio editing.

Maroon Lover 9 December 6, 2018 Share December 6, 2018 Lets see...I use Krita for animation, Gimp for special effects, Shotcut for editing, Audacity for sound, and OBS to actually record the animation sessions. All free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
