Toon Boom Studio is the best 2D animation software to learn and create animation with. Ideal for students and hobbyists looking for an easy-to-use animation program, excellent for teachers and educational institutions, Studio makes all animation techniques accessible to users, offering them the most creative and rewarding experience.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.5
With Toon Boom Studio we can create and publish animations in an easy way, being offered all the tools we may need.
When we open the program we can see a Menu Bar and some toolbars, such as drawing tools, scene-planning tools and interactive playback.
The first window displays a grid and can be used for drawing or opening an existing project. We can even add images from the provided library - both animations and still templates.
The program lets us adjust the timeline, the exposure sheet and handle the function editor. We can drag and drop any item from a set of library backgrounds, storyboarding, props, characters, cliparts and more, thus starting our histories at any moment we want. We can also handle several cameras and create our own characters and backgrounds, either by drawing them or by importing files. Speaking of the latter ability, the program supports a huge quantity of formats.
This program allows a user to publish, his works in different formats, such as Flash Movie, Quicktime, AVI, HTML, or even send them to iTunes library and Upload to Youtube. |
