![]() ![]() ![]() Multi-level painting options and ability to use paint tools from other programs like Photoshop.For objects that won’t be animated much, Paint-By-Numbers auto colors it in the future for you.Stop Leak feature helps fine tune sketches to make painting process easier without rescanning.Drag & Fill allows for 100s of small areas to be filled with a paint color with just one quick click.Persist option lets selections remain active for next scanned layers to save even more time.Cursor preview mode shows what pixels will be affected before you click to save you undo time.Painting process includes palettes so you can adjust one color in 100s of frames instantly.Despeckle feature allows you to get rid of paper blemishes, lint, or erase other trouble spots.Lip sync XSheet makes syncing syllables incredibly easy and saves large amounts of time.XSheet layers allow you to only scan the background image once and overlay animations on top. ![]() Options to pan, zoom, or include one of several transition effects.Can add soundtrack to storyboard and slow down or speed up timing of frames.Also allows users to draw on the computer with a mouse or tablet.Easy to scan in storyboards and rearrange the order of frames on the fly.If you’re a 2D animator then you’re limiting your career and your creations if you don’t try FlipBook. While every other art program you’ve used over the years sees consistent annual updates that change every inch of the user interface, FlipBook still looks mostly the same as it did over a decade ago, which is pretty much like a media player with drawing, painting tools and camera tools. They firmly believe that if something isn’t broke, then there’s nothing to fix but you can make improvements. The No.1 feature of Animation Paper is the limited number of features.DigiCel has recently updated their website and they're still updating their software. Tags: animation paper, description, features, GUI, interface, planned, preview, tour, video Native Windows PC and Mac OS X app (iPad, Android, Linux planned).Import and export of video and frame-stacks (including alpha and X-Sheet timing data).Play scenes in sequence to check continuity.Realtime full frame reference on 2nd monitor.Customizable Tool Bar and Quick Select (marking menu) for reaching favorite functions with a flick.Many alternative ways of flipping (keys, wheel, springy return flip, etc).May not be included in first release, but in free upgrade) Paint (simple coloring with eyedropper and fill.Cutouts (easily reposition/rotate/scale drawings or parts of drawings).Layers (each layer colored black, blue, red, green or custom).X-Sheet – easy, yet powerful timing and reuse (also scribbled notes and sound wave display).Light table (onion skinning – advanced and customizable).Realtime smooth rotation and zooming of the view (and mirror) – controlled with gestures (pinch/rotate) or quick zoom function.Quality lines – built on high speed, high resolution input from your tablet (like a Wacom).Super fast responsiveness – while drawing, while flipping, while everything.Other than that, here’s the list of main features: Hi UsaMiKo – yes, it will be very simple. No gradients, or textures, or advanced stuff that you either don’t use or need or will make Animation Paper overly complex. You will be able to make good effective plain coloring on separate layers, so, if you need the special advanced textured stuff, you can do that easily in compositing later. So in Animation Paper, you will be able to add a color layer (or several), to which you can color in areas using a broad pen, the bucket fill and the eyedropper tool. (So just turn off layers with say, rough lines or other, temporarily, if you want the fill tool to not take them into account.) The bucket fill will fill to the boundaries of your drawn lines drawn on all visible layers. (You can check out the planned menus if you want to investigate further.) I have a very clever idea (secret!) for how to create the tool for filling perfectly to the middle of the line without eating away at the antialias pixels or spilling over because of a line that is thin or very light/transparent. I appreciate you so much for working to make this program a reality! SUPER super excited for this program – I’m a poor college student but this will definitely be something I invest in. Unrelated: This also fascinates me because I am both an amateur animator and a programmer (kind of). in Computer Science, but I’m nowhere near designing something like this. It made me curious what language do you use to create a program like this? I can’t even fathom the complexity of the code. (I also ask because it occurs to me this may be a wonderful merge of two of my favorite things that I could make into a career – programming artist’s software). Okay in addition to THAT: I’m also a graphic designer. ![]()
